Can you feel the excitement in the air? The end of July means that we are almost ready for the start of the Premier League campaign, and there are numerous ways to bet on the Premier League. Before the season gets underway with Liverpool and Norwich City squaring off at Anfield, you can bet on which team will be relegated, where teams will be in the table at the middle and end of the season, and on which players will outscore their counterparts. Let’s take a look at some of these bets.

Premier League Relegation Betting Odds
Sheffield United -165
Norwich City -110
Brighton and Hove Albion +180
Newcastle United +195
Burnley +200
Aston Villa +210
Bournemouth +400
Southampton +400
Crystal Palace +500
Watford +600
West Ham +1000
The oddsmakers are quite confident in Aston Villa’s survival this season. Although the Villans finished fifth in the Championship and won the playoff to earn promotion to the Premier League, they have the sixth-lowest odds on the board. The club spent heavily in the offseason to try to ensure that promotion sticks, doling out almost $150 million.
We didn’t see anywhere near the same investment from Sheffield United or Norwich City. Sheffield United were minnows in the market, spending just $28 million over the summer, and the biggest name they acquired was 36-year-old center back Phil Jagielka on a free transfer. Meanwhile, the Canaries spent a paltry $4.7 million, as they seem content to just role the dice with the squad that finished atop the Championship table last year.
Even though the situation at Newcastle United is a mess, I don’t see the Magpies going down. The club did lose Ayoze Perez, but the addition of Joelinton from 1899 Hoffenheim should make up for his loss.
I like the odds for Brighton to go down. The Seagulls finished just two points clear of the drop last season, and they didn’t make any significant improvements. They caught lightning in a bottle with Glenn Murray at the start of the year, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them finish with less than 30 points this campaign.
If you’re looking for a longshot with these odds, there’s reason to be pessimistic about Bournemouth. Although the Cherries are one of the most entertaining teams in the league, they give up a ton of goals and many key players were injured over the tail end of last year. If those players aren’t the same when they return, Bournemouth could drop.
Top Ten Finish
Everton -275
Wolverhampton -240
Leicester City -225
West Ham United +125
Newcastle United +250
Watford +250
Crystal Palace +275
Southampton +300
Bournemouth +350
Aston Villa +400
Brighton and Hove Albion +600
Burnley +700
Norwich City +1200
Sheffield United +1600
The chalk is heavy for the top three teams on the board, but I am a big believer in Wolverhampton this season. The Wanderers had a great record against the Big Six last season and finished in seventh place, and they have become even stronger with the arrival of Patrick Cutrone and Leander Dendocker. Nuno has made a name for himself as Wolves’ manager, and this club won’t have the same letdowns it did in 2018-19.
Player to Score More Goals
Harry Kane -190
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang +141
This is going against the grain, but I like Aubameyang’s chances to outscore Kane this season. Kane has missed significant stretches in two of the last three seasons, and he is playing on a team with many more options. Lucas Moura, Christian Eriksen, and Son Heung-min are also dynamic goal scorers, and Tanguy Ndombele was added in the offseason.
As for Arsenal, the Gunners are going to rely on Aubameyang, and he will be the No. 1 striker with Alexandre Lacazette in support. Aubameyang will have plenty of opportunities, and there’s good value in him at this price.
