Premier League 2018-19 Betting Odds: Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Others' Chances Of Winning Championship
The Premier League is coming off one of the least dramatic title races in recent memory, as Manchester City cruised to 100-point season and a comfortable 19 points ahead of second-place finisher and local rival Manchester United.
Will Pep Guardiola's squad finish atop the table again in 2018-19?
Oddsmakers sure think so.
According to Bet365, City are the odds-on favorite to repeat at 4/6. The club added attacking midfielder Riyad Mahrez this summer and didn't have any notable departures others than Yaya Toure. Oddsmakers last year had listed City as the favorites at 7/4.
After City are many familiar clubs, but not quite in the order some might expect. Liverpool, and their new goalkeeper Alisson Becker, have the second-best odds at 4/1 and ahead of their rivals Manchester United at 7/1. Jose Mourinho added Brazilian midfielder Fred and 19-year-old full-back Diogo Dalot from his former club Porto.
The London clubs are expected to battle for fourth place with Chelsea, who have a new manager in Maurizio Sarri, listed at 12/1 and Tottenham, who bring back mostly the same roster, at 16/1. Arsenal, after bidding farewell to longtime manager Arsene Wenger, are a longshot at 20/1.
The rest of the field is considered major underdogs. Everton and Wolverhampton are both 250/1 longshots, while Cardiff City has the worst odds at 2,000/1.
The Premier League season begins on Aug. 10.
