English Premier League Betting Update PT 4

Liverpool look to be in the worst spot out of all of the top teams from the past few years - now sitting firmly in twelfth and looking extremely poor with a full-on confidence crisis underway. In effect, the only real winner from the situation at Liverpool is Barcelona’s Luis Suarez, his absence has shown that Liverpool were really flattering to deceive last year and without his incredible goal haul (and ability to force teams to adapt their tactics to him - opening up opportunities for others) Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool just don’t look capable of beating top sides.

After coming closer to winning the league last year than ever before (Steven Gerrard’s timely slip may come to define Liverpool over the last ten years in the Premier League) much was expected of them this year. They have failed in every single way imaginable and things could go from bad to worse. 

It’s worth remembering that Liverpool are only four points off the relegation zone right now and if there was a chance that they were caught up in the relegation mire around the end of the Christmas fixture list - it’s likely that Brendan Rodgers may be forced out. What a turn of events that would be as he was widely-hailed as the most dynamic young manager in Britain for a long time. 

In regards to the actual odds of winning the league, it’s firmly Chelsea’s to win with a 1.12 price tag being floated by bookmakers. Manchester City remain the only other team with a somewhat plausible price to win the league with a 6.5 margin. Manchester United are third place with a significantly higher listing of 34.0. Southampton are fourth favourites to win the Premier League with a 51.0 margin while Arsenal are 81.0. 

You can lock in a tidy price of 2.80 on Southampton to finish in the Top Four while Manchester United can be backed at 1.40. Arsenal are trading at 1.66 and that might be looking like a bet-against right now.
