English Premier League Latest Betting Update PT 1

The holiday fixture list in the English Premier League always makes things especially interesting since so many matches are packed into such a tight schedule. It’s a unique situation considering so many other countries take a winter break and it’s going to be interesting to see how many sides wind up either getting boosted by the holiday fixtures or seeing their good runs of form begin to grind to a halt.

Take a look at Liverpool for instance as the Reds have now dropped points in back to back games for the first time in quite a while. The side still look to be playing better football than most of the other teams in the English Premier League but you’ll have to admit that they must know there’s a large chasing pack of six or seven sides breathing down their necks. 

At the time of this writing, Liverpool sit a mere three points ahead of Manchester United who are somehow in second place despite having a season that many have criticized for underwhelming performances. It’s also worth noting that United have a game in hand on Liverpool which could theoretically see them go top if they win their next match and Liverpool wind up losing. 

The bookmakers definitely think that Liverpool are the outright favourites to secure the trophy again this season, but their odds are drifting a bit as punters begin to look for a higher price elsewhere. You’ll find that their best listing available is around a 6/4 price. 

Despite languishing in mid-table right now, Manchester City remain the second favourite to win the English Premier league and their odds are trading at a price that will probably entice a number of the Manchester City faithful and some neutral supporters as well.
