Premier League Betting: Bookmakers release odds for the 2021/2022 season
Pep's men strong favourites once again
As the dust settles one of the most peculiar Premier League seasons in history, bookmakers have released odds on who the winner of the 2021/2022 campaign will be.
After claiming their third title in the last four years, Manchester City have once again been installed as the red hot favourites. Pep Guardiola’s side put together a remarkable run of 15 consecutive victories between December and March this term and with a potential Champions League trophy heading to the Etihad in the next week, their season isn’t over yet.
Manchester City are priced at 4/6 to repeat their success and lift the 2021/2022 Premier League title - an implied probability of 60%. BetVictor have Chelsea second in the market at 5/1, which could well shorten if Thomas Tuchel manages to bring Champions League glory back to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Significant improvement has been made at Manchester United this season, although the off-field issues surrounding the owners continue to rumble on. 11/2 is on offer for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to claim their first league title since the Sir Alex Ferguson era, with the Red Devils unbeaten on the road since January 2020.
United’s last away defeat was in fact at Anfield, and Jurgen Klopp’s men can also be backed at 11/2 to lift next year’s trophy. The 2019/2020 winners will be hoping for better after an injury-riddled campaign which saw them finish third under extremely testing circumstances.
Leicester City missed out on Champions League qualification for the second season in a row after dropping out of the top-four on the final day. The Foxes are 33/1 to lift the trophy next season which is the same price as Spurs, who are still on the hunt for a new manager.
Arsenal will be without European football for the first time in 25 years in the 2021/2022 campaign. The Gunners can be backed at 80/1 with 888sport with significant improvement needed at the Emirates.
Everton (100/1), Leeds (150/1) and West Ham (150/1) round off the top-ten in the betting with freshly promoted Norwich (1500/1) and Watford (1500/1) being offered at four-figure prices.
Harry Kane’s potential switch to Manchester could well be one of the transfers of the summer and have a large impact on next season’s title race. You can see who’s currently favourite to sign the Tottenham talisman view his latest club odds here.
