Premier League: How things stand

Arsenal lead the table by a point frm Liverpool and Aston Villa, who look like they are in the top four to stay. Manchester City are in fourth after dropping more points. City are five points off the top and will lose further ground this weekend as their match against Brentford is postponed due to the World Club Cup. Tottenham look to have turned the corner after a blip and are in fifth place, ahead of Newcastle United who are still weighed down with injuries. Manchester United, West Ham United, Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea make up the top 10 and are all still very much in the race for Europe.

Sheffield United remain bottom of the table, with Burnley and Luton just ahead of them. Nottingham Forest are looking the most likely to go down other than the three newly promoted sides, having dropped to 17th.

*Everton deducted 10 points for a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs).

Obviously the strength of opposition played, injuries and metrics such as XG, XGA and XPTS have a bearing on odds as well as actual league position. Check out our first blog on this season’s Premier League outright betting for more details on these metrics after 10 games.

Odds correct as of December 21 2023, 6pm from bet365. Odds subject to change.

Man City retain their position as title favourites, despite more dropped points. Their odds for the title and a fourth place finish have lengthened again. Leaders Arsenal and second placed Liverpool have seen their odds shorten. The bookies, along with the pundits, have acknowledge Aston Villa as serious contenders with their title odds and tiop four odds shortening.

Newcastle United’s struggle with injuries sees no sign of easing in the immediate future and there is a feeling that the top four may be beyond them, as their odds lengthen as they slip behind Villa and Spurs. Manchester United are next in the betting.

The three newly promoted sides remain favourites to go down. Sheffield United’s odds have lengthened slightly since the appointment of Chris Wilder but remain favourites to go down. Luton remain second favourites to drop down ahead of Burnley. Nottingham Forest are fourth favourites to go down after their recent bad run saw manager Steve Cooper sacked. He has been replaced by Nuno Espirito Santo.

Bettors looking for value might want to look ahead in the season at things which may affect performance. For instance, several teams could be hit by withdrawals in January due to the African Cup of Nations. Therefore, using performances so far, along with metrics such as XG and XPTS, some may want a speculative punt on a team who they believe can put a run together, or, who they believe will endure a slump and take advantage of the current odds.
