Bookies Don’t Know What To Make Of Most Competitive Premiership Yet
Many are stating that this season’s Premiership is the best
Premiership season ever and they might just be right. Every part of the
Premiership is as competitive as it has ever been and at this stage even
the bookies aren’t sure what is going to happen.
We are used to having one or two teams in the title race, whilst many
would argue that this is the case once again it is hard to say that
Arsenal are out of the hunt for the title, they are only three points
off the top spot. You could even argue that Man City could win it, they
have only seven points to make up and bigger leads have been surrendered
than that. The bookies make Chelsea the favourites to win the league,
and rightly so, but Arsenal look the value at 9/2 considering Man Utd
are 11/4 and Chelsea are odds on at 4/5.
There is without doubt the best battle for fourth this year, Man
City, Spurs, Aston Villa and Liverpool are all definitely competing for
that last Champions League place and you could even argue Birmingham
are, although we doubt they have the staying power. Man City’s chances
of breaking into the top four are rated 50:50 by the bookies and they
are favourites, if you believe the bookies then Liverpool will come
fifth with Tottenham and Aston Villa in behind respectively.
And how about relegation? Portsmouth may be four points adrift at the
bottom but there are only three points separating 19th to 13th place
inclusive. Even Stoke in 10th are just six points off the drop zone and
far from safe. The bookies think Portsmouth, Hull and Burnley are most
likely to go, in that order, which means they clearly don’t rate Brian
Laws as a manager.
The beauty of this season’s Premiership is that no one is going to
draw clear in their respective battles because everyone is beating
everyone. It will probably take the smallest amount of points ever to
take the title with Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal dropping points
regularly.
