Premier League Winners – Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp’s men got all the way to the final of the Champions League last season and although attempting to conquer Europe is once again on the agenda, it could well be matters closer to home that are more appealing to the Merseyside club this time around.

Much has been made that no team has won back to back Premier League titles since 2009 and if that streak is to continue it would mean that Manchester City have been usurped by one of their title rivals, with one of those rivals of course being Liverpool.

Wearebettors highlighted the following odds: The Anfield outfit are currently second favourites at a price of 9/4 which arguably represents better value than opting for Pep Guardiola’s all-star City side who are odds on favourites. The Reds have not won the English top flight in 28 years, could the drought be finally coming to an end? Tottenham, at the price of 40, could be an excellent choice if you don’t believe in the Reds.

To Be Relegated – Huddersfield

Huddersfield surprised many during the previous campaign as they managed to avoid relegation in what was their debut appearance in the Premier League, however this time around you get the feeling that they may not be so fortunate.

With David Wagner’s men lacking a real goal threat, it is something that will not likely be rectified until January at the earliest. Even then though it may be too late for the Yorkshire outfit as they look to fight off ‘Second Season Syndrome’

The Terriers are currently at 2/5 on to be relegated come next May, a price that on paper makes them almost a dead cert to go down. Only Cardiff are at shorter odds at present, further solidifying Huddersfield’s likely struggle.

Top Scorer – Sergio Aguero

The Manchester City star is an integral part of the defending champions starting eleven, a point that has been reinforced by the fact that the Argentine has decided to extend his contract at the Etihad until 2021.

Although City might not go on to win the Premier League this season, it could well be that the former Atletico Madrid forward has to make do with a personal accolade instead, one that comes in the shape of the Golden Boot.

The 30-year-old is currently at a price of 10/3 to achieve this feat, one that also sees him as the bookies favourite. The question now is whether or not he can see off the likes of Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane, only time will tell.

To Finish In The Top Four – Chelsea

It seems as if Maurizio Sarri has won many friends during his short time at West London, as his new Chelsea side topped the table after the first five games of this season. There is no doubting the lightning start that the Blues have had, but can it be sustained throughout?

If the answer to that is no, then at least the club that call Stamford Bridge home will be able to take some respite in the fact that a return to the Champions League in 2019 looks likely. A third title in five seasons may evade them but a top four finish won’t

Already you can see the gap in quality between Chelsea and the likes of Tottenham and Arsenal, so much so that bookmakers have priced the 2018 F.A. Cup winners at 1/3 on in their bid secure a top four finish at the end of this campaign.

To Finish In The Top Half – Wolves

Another team that looks very easy on the eye at the moment is Wolverhampton Wanderers, led by the Portuguese coach Nuno Espirito Santo they have made an almost seamless transition to the top flight after winning last season’s EFL Championship.

The Midlands outfit is one that is brimming with talent and that perhaps comes as no real surprise when you consider that they spent in excess of £100m in the Summer, while it is those new additions that have impressed fans and pundits alike.

They’ve also impressed the betting companies as they are currently priced at 4/7 on to secure a top half finish, a feat that is almost unprecedented for a newly promoted club. However, this is no ordinary team from the second tier and they will be one that stays at this level for a very long time.
