EURO 2024 is over and eyes are turning towards the new season and the Premier League 24/25 odds. So who are the favourites? Who are the dark horses? and most importantly, where is the value? We will take a look below at the current market and share our thoughts with you.
This article will be updated regularly throughout the season. All odds are correct at the time of writing and are all subject to change.
Who are the favourites to lift the Premier League trophy?
This may come as a surprise but Man City are current favourites to win the Premier League outright. But on a serious note, we hope to see a different team lift the trophy this season. Arsenal are not a bad price at 14/5 considering how close they came last year. However, at this point in the summer, it is key to watch the transfer window before the season starts.
Who are the favourites to be relegated?
The bookies believe that new additions Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton are most likely to be relegated in the Premier League 24/25 season. Everton was a close call but the odds seem to be drifting this week. Interestingly, at one point Man City were 16/1 to be relegated. Being realistic, this could have been due to the volume of novelty bets with all the controversy surrounding Man City and FFP. However, since Man City were recently cleared of any wrongdoing this is extremely unlikely to happen.
Who are the Dark Horses for the new Premier League 24/25?
We are fully expecting a couple of surprise packages during the new season. But who will they be?
Aston Villa
Currently priced at 70/1, we think there is some serious value here if you wanted to consider an each way bet. Whilst it's unlikely Villa will win the league, they have a strong chance of a top 4 finish. Villa currently sit in 4th place in the premier league (as of 28th October 2024). And have been in some remarkable form, not only in the premier league, but also in the Champions League.
Tottenham Hotspur
This feels like it's becoming a familiar story. Spurs are notorious for having potential but bottling the league. They had a strong start last season with big Ange Postecoglou. But towards the end of the Premier League season, it was clear as day that he was frustrated with the club's situation. They have a good squad, a good manager but not the best owner. Can Spurs storm through that Daniel Levy shaped cloud they have hanging over them?
What are the Best Value Premier League 24/25 Odds?
In terms of outright odds, we initially backed Arsenal at 2/1. We saw some great value there, however they have now drifted to 14/5. Partly due to Liverpool having a strong season and are now breathing down their necks.
For Top 4 Finish, the odds are slightly more interesting. Chelsea are currently 10/11 and it seems that they have left their rough patch behind them. With the addition of Enzo Maresca, the bookies seem to think the Blues are in a position to be serious contenders for a top 4 place.

UPDATES
Tuesday 16th July 2024
With the EUROs over, fans are recovering and the attention will be back on Premier League. Over the last couple of weeks there have been a few events affecting the odds movements on the market. So who has moved and why do we think this?
Manchester United - SHORTENED
WAS 33/1, NOW 25/1
The Red Devils have a lot of work to do this summer to improve on last season and reach the Top 4. Ten Haag has confirmed his new contract and is ready to build.
There have been some offloads at Old Trafford, including Martial, Varane and failed signing Donny van der Beek. To replace Martial in attack, United have signed centre forward Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. In addition to this, fellow Dutchman and Bayern Munich star, Matthijs de Ligt, is strongly rumoured to be coming in to strengthen United's defence.
Brighton - SHORTENED
WAS 500/1, NOW 250/1
The Seagulls are still swarming after a busy start to the transfer window. They have been hard at work strengthening their midfield with youngsters. Their standout signing so far is defensive midfielder Mats Wieffer, who has joined Brighton from Feyenoord. The 24 year old enjoyed a good run at the Dutch giant, having made 79 appearances across all competitions.
Overall, Brighton don't currently look like they'll top the league. But if you like a novelty bet it could be worth an each way.
Newcastle United - DRIFTED
WAS 33/1, NOW 35/1
It is shaping up to be an interesting window for Newcastle United already. Earlier this week, Eddie Howe was shortlisted by the FA as a potential replacement for England Manager, Gareth Southgate. Today (16th July) Southgate announced that he would be stepping down from his role. Naturally this may cause panic amongst Newcastle supporters, however it wasn't long until Newcastle bosses confirmed their intention to hold onto Eddie Howe. It is not clear what Howe's intentions are although the news is likely to affect the Magpies camp.
On-top of the doubts surrounding Eddie Howe, Newcastle also suffered another blow over the last week with Amanda Staveley announcing her departure.
In terms of transfers, Newcastle spent big last season with 400m worth of transfers. Due to many other clubs being under the microscope, and some even being penalised, Newcastle have to be very careful.
To keep in line with FFP, Newcastle have managed to bag a couple of free agents. These include Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth (centre back) and veteran goalkeeper John Ruddy from Birmingham City. Currently, the only signing that has cost them anything is Lewis Hall, who was on loan last season from Chelsea. The 19 year old left back made 22 appearances for the Magpies across all competitions in the 23/24 season. During this time he also scored two goals.
Friday 9th August 2024
There have been a few transfers over the last few weeks however nothing has affected the market too much.
Man City - DRIFTED
WAS 13/10, NOW 6/4
City are yet to make a key move in the transfer window. With Arsenal making their statement signing of Riccardo Calafiori, they surely must be putting pressure on the title holders.
Liverpool - SHORTENED
WAS 8/1, NOW 7/1
If you are backing Liverpool to lift the Premier League trophy this season, now might be the time to get involved before the prices move again. Also yet to make a key signing, we can only assume that the lack of activity from City is impacting the price. 7/1 is surely worth an each way bet?
Wednesday 14th August 2024
The transfer window has become more active over the last week, with Man Utd, Spurs and West Ham all making big moves. For live transfer updates you can check the Sky Sports News site here.
Chelsea - DRIFTED
WAS 20/1, NOW 25/1
Chelsea are having a rough time with their transfer window. Negotiations between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid involving multiple players have been thrown into chaos after the sale of Samu Omorodion fell through due to contractual issues. Spanish media believe that Chelsea tried inserting a 'cheeky' clause into Omorodion's contract, leaving his agent unhappy with the London based football club.
Because of this, it lead to Connor Gallagher spending five days in Madrid, unsure of what his future would be after already completing a medical and agreeing terms with Atletico Madrid.
To add further confusion, Chelsea are now trying to salvage the sale of Connor Gallagher to Atleti by buying Joao Felix, who has previously played for Chelsea on loan. The issue here is that Atletico want a lot more for him than what Chelsea are offering.
