In this article, we check out the Premier League outright Title Winner, Top Four and Relegation odds as we look at the 2022/23 season.
Two clubs have shared the last five Premier League championships. Manchester City are aiming to be the only team to win three Premier League titles in a row. Manchester United under the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson achieved this feat twice, but Pep Guardiola and his team have not. Last season, City were pushed to its limit and needed their third highest points total to beat Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s team came agonisingly near to achieving an unprecedented quadruple. The Reds finished third or better in each of their last four campaigns, with an average 89.25 point per campaign. This run included a championship that ended the club’s 30-year wait for the title of English football’s top team. Manchester United wants to reclaim this honour. Erik ten Hag has brought the club back to the top of the league.
Arsenal has shown the most desire to win English football’s prized trophy. Gunners currently lead the league table. They have only lost three games in this season and play some exciting football. Mikel Artera and his band of young stars are going to be hard to beat.
Arsenal are four points ahead of Man City who have a game in hand after draw at West Ham. City host the Gunners on the 26th of April at Etihad Stadium.

Neville says Mikel Arteta’s side must shut off from media and focus on recovery; watch Arsenal vs Southampton live on Sky Sports on Friday; kick-off 8pm.
“It’s no doubt it’s a wobble but there’s still a long way to go,” he told the Gary Neville Podcast. “Eight games to go is still a fifth of this league. People were telling me we were on a run-in 8-10 weeks ago. That Arsenal were nearly there. Nonsense.
“The big thing for me is they can go seven points clear on Friday night against Southampton. They mustn’t make a mistake in that game and must look assured and full of authority. There’s no doubt in their minds there will be a little bit of ‘hmmm’ going on but there doesn’t need to be. This was always going to happen.
“In a marathon, you’re always going to have difficult moments, you’re going to have ups and downs, you’re going to have injuries, you’re going to miss penalties, you’re going to have your goalkeeper maybe letting in one that he shouldn’t do.
“But they just need to recover for Friday night, take a single game at a time, get seven points in front and Man City, as much as they are a powerhouse and striding forward, it’s still a daunting task when you look at a team, even with two games in hand and you’ve got to play against them, it’s still not nice to look at the table and see you’re seven points behind.
“Man City will be buoyed by Sunday, smelling blood and Arsenal have just got to resist those thoughts, maybe not look at the newspapers, the social media because there will be the suggestion City are coming on top.
“You always have to cope with that. The year Blackburn beat us to win the league there was a point where they looked like they were going to falter and they came back.
“It’s a wobble but you can recover from wobbles. The main thing is they don’t fall off the bike – and that would mean dropping points against Southampton at home. So be solid, get seven points clear and the Man City game at the Etihad will be a once-in-a-lifetime game that will take care of itself.
“What will happen will happen – these games you cannot predict, you’re not in control of it, you just go there have the time of your life and you sometimes win them and sometimes don’t. And they could win and be 10 points clear and probably be champions.
“Now they’ve just got to think about Friday night and doing the job against Southampton and then playing in the most important match of their lives at the Etihad, winning and then the title will be theirs. They’ve taken a punch, they’ve gone down to the ground, they’ve got up after three, they’re still fine, they’ve still got their senses and will have to pick themselves up this week.
“I thought these moments would come for Arsenal. What worried me a little bit was Arsenal looked the leggy team in the last half an hour – and West Ham were the team that played on Thursday night. I’ve been on those title run-ins where you have young players and you start to get a little sluggish, not moving as freely, not moving as quickly.
“Loads of recovery, loads of rest, get off your PlayStations, don’t go out for a meal, relax, watch films, sit in, do your preparation, everything perfectly, ice baths… whatever it is they do these days.
“Do everything perfectly, you’ve had a great season and win on Friday night. Don’t think of anything else. I’m sure they’ll be good enough to beat Southampton on Friday night but that’s a really important match for them.”
