In this article, we check out the Premier League outright Title Winner, Top Four and Relegation odds as we look at the 2023/24 season.
With the 2022/23 campaign now over, our attention turns to the next one and who could challenge Manchester City for the title.
It will come as no surprise that Pep Guardiola’s side are already massive odds-on favourites to claim their sixth title in seven years and an unprecedented fourth title in a row.
Last season’s Arsenal were really the only challengers for the title, only to mess that up come the end.
The Gunners will get up and go again, and are expected to challenge again, with optimism boosted by the additions of Kai Havertz and Declan Rice.
Liverpool were the fifth-best team last season but the bookies seem to rate them and their new signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai highly – – making them the third-favourites for the title now.
Next up is Manchester United who finished third last season and seemingly looking to change up the squad, Maguire could be off and De Gea is leaving them, but who will be replacing them? Man Utd need to spend if they want to challenge their rivals.
Chelsea had a season to forget last time out, but the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino could just get them back competing for a European place, should he be able to work his magic in bringing back renewed hope for the Blues.
Newcastle United are listed as fifth favourites, and although surprising a lot of people with Champions League qualification as early as they have, everybody still remains unsure that Newcastle can reproduce that kind of season – but things are looking very well for them nonetheless.

Sky Sports have given tips to it’s Fantasy Premier League players as they get their teams in order…
They said via their website: “We all expected Erling Haaland’s price to go up – but seeing one player sit at £14.0m is a daunting prospect.
“After 36 goals last season, the Manchester City forward is surely a must for every team next summer. But it raises serious questions as to where you place the rest of the funds.
“Is a joint move for Haaland and Harry Kane (£12.5m) deemed too much money? Kane potentially leaving Tottenham for Europe would take that issue out of your hands, but with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.0m) also at an inflated price, you could spend around a third of your budget on three players.
“Mohamed Salah tends to be a FPL must, but is the Egyptian forward worth the £12.5m price when you can get multiple top-class options on the cheap?
“The likes of Marcus Rashford (£9.0m), Bukayo Saka (£8.5m), Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m), Jack Grealish (£7.5m) and even Kevin De Bruyne (£10.5m) have the potential to provide strong returns.
“So is the best option to go with Salah and make part of your midfield weaker? Or get several of the £7-10m options across the board and maximise your options?
“It’s the thing most people look for on FPL launch day: which goal getters have been moved from forwards to midfielders over the summer? See Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz from a few years ago.
“Well Havertz (£7.5m) is another option again this year. The German’s move from Chelsea to Arsenal – and potential midfield role for Mikel Arteta’s side this season – has been recognised by FPL.
“There’s Bryan Mbeumo (£6.5m) of Brentford who has also made the switch from forward to midfielder. The Frenchman will be a player who needs to step up in the absence of Ivan Toney, who will not return until January from his betting charge ban.
“Brennan Johnson (£6.0m) is another player who has gone from forward to midfielder over the summer. The Nottingham Forest star got eight goals last season in his debut campaign and could well improve on that tally this term, but a tricky start to the season for Steve Cooper’s side may mean he is a signing for later in the season.
“And there are those who excelled last season who could be deemed bargains in midfield. Put Bruno Fernandes and Martin Odegaard (both £8.5m) in that category, as well as Kaoru Mitoma (£6.5m). All three midfielders were expected to be way more expensive after last season’s exploits and should be targeted given the favourable starts to the season that Arsenal, Brighton and Manchester United have.
“The price of Newcastle defenders was expected to increase given their defensive solidity last season – but eyebrows were raised when Sven Botman was priced at just £4.5m.
“If you balance your budget right, the Newcastle man could represent a cheap, high-level, guaranteed starter for a team expected to do well defensively.
“The impact of Pervis Estupinan and Oleksandr Zinchenko (both £5.0m) at their respective clubs made them attractive options throughout the previous campaign and there is some surprise both are cheaper than Luke Shaw, Reece James and Ben Chilwell (all £5.5m).
“Having a cost-effective defender is a good way of maximising the premium talent, so these options are very helpful ones.
“There’s always one. Which one of the newly-promoted sides will present the £4.0m defensive option?
“Last year, Neco Williams ended up in everyone’s teams with Nottingham Forest. This year, Luton Town’s Amari’i Bell (£4.0m), a regular for the Hatters in the Championship last season, has been earmarked as the early option. Burnley’s Jordan Beyer (£4.0m) is another option who should get regular game time at that price.
“Going forwards, Luton duo Carlton Morris (£5.5m) and Elijah Adebayo (£5.0m) are probably the most potent goal threats.
“Burnley should be expected to continue playing a positive brand of football under Vincent Kompany. Conor Roberts (£4.5m) has experience of being a goalscoring defender, while midfielder Manuel Benson (£5.5m) has a taste for the spectacular.
“Sheffield United’s Iliman Ndiaye (£5.5m) could balance the books for those looking to make expensive striker incomings.”
