Will Manchester City make it six titles in seven years?
Can the Gunners break a 20-year drought?
What about Ange Ball?
BetDeluxe takes an in-depth look at the best bets for this season’s EPL title.
Manchester City
$1.72
There’s a reason these guys are $1.72.
The defending champions have won the last three titles and five of the last six under champion manager, Pep Guardiola.
After starting the season with six consecutive victories, things have slowed down for City as they’ve suffered successive losses to Arsenal (1-0) and, far more surprisingly, Wolverhampton (2-1).
Despite their poor form of late, they still have the hottest ticket in world soccer right now in the form of Erling Haaland, with the Norwegian superstar leading the EPL with eight goals. Julián Álvarez has been equally impressive, with three goals and three assists to start the season.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the champs, but don’t expect it to last.
Arsenal
$4.50
At this point of the season, Arsenal could well be the value pick of the lot as they sit in second spot on the ladder and hot on the heels of the Spurs.
Six wins, two draws and the same number of points (20) as the current leaders, Mikel Arteta’s men have been firing on all cylinders to start the season.
Their hot start culminated in a 1-0 victory over Manchester City, ending a 12-game losing streak against the reigning champs.
The Gunners have shared the scoring load more than any side, with Bukayo Saka leading the charge with four of the team’s 16 goals.
It’s been 20 years since the Gunners last saluted under Arsene Wenger, but there’s no doubt the rusted-on fans are starting to dream again.
Tottenham
$11
Aussie Ange.
That’s just about all we can say about this Tottenham side, as the former Australian national coach takes us on the ride of a lifetime with an undefeated start to his first season in charge.
Sitting in first spot on the standings, Ange Ball has resulted in six wins and two draws, including victories over Liverpool and Manchester United.
Son Heung-Min has been the star of the show-up forward with six goals, while James Maddison is equal-first for assists (5).
We’ve seen fairytales occur in the EPL before – Leicester City in 2015-16, anyone? – so we’re more than happy to take the $11 on offer as Ange attempts to create history in Tottenham.
Newcastle
$41
Newcastle at $41?
If we had to pick a roughie, why not follow the team who just dismantled Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 in their Champions League match-up?
Newcastle has been a different side since mid-September, with wins against PSG, and Manchester City (EFL) and a tough nil-all draw against AC Milan (UCL).
Most impressively, they’ve gone 3-1-0 in their EPL matches, including an incredible 8-0 drubbing of Sheffield United on the back of eight individual goal-kickers.
Newcastle has found the back of the net on 20 occasions from its eight EPL matches and ranks second with 2.5 goals per game.
It’s been a different Magpies side over the past month, and to get $41 at this stage of the season is well worth the punt.
