Newcastle United 2024/25 Premier League top four chances – Bookies react after Leicester thrashing | OneFootball

Some interesting odds on Premier League top four (and other possibilities) for the 2024/25 season where Newcastle United are concerned.

With bookies taking stock after the weekend results, including that NUFC thrashing of Leicester.

A dominant performance seeing United win 4-0 and it could/should have been more.

That win coming in the sixteenth PL round of matches.

The bookies and punters reacting to how things now stand in the Premier League table (see below), as well of course, how they are now seeing the underlying strengths of the various teams and squads.

Listed below are the general Premier League odds now available from the various bookies for the 2024/25 season (in brackets are what the odds were after the opening round of PL games):

Win the Premier League:

8/11 (13/2) Liverpool

7/2 (40/1) Chelsea

4/1 (9/5) Arsenal

16/1 (11/8) Man City

500/1 (66/1) Aston Villa

500/1 (33/1) Tottenham

500/1 (28/1) Man U

750/1 (40/1 Newcastle United

750/1 (1,500/1) Forest

1,000/1 (200/1) Brighton

1,000/1 (1,500/1) Bournemouth

So Newcastle United now rated joint eighth most ‘likely’.

At the very top, Liverpool remain favourites, whilst Chelsea are now second favourites, the only one of the top four (as things stood before the weekend) to win their match. Manchester City now distant 16/1 fourth favourites as they lost yet again, this time late on at home to Man U in a woeful match.

This is how the Premier League table looks today (Monday 16 December 2024):

Premier League relegation:

1/16 (1/1) Southampton

8/13 (10/11) Ipswich

4/6  (1/2) Leicester

5/6 (7/2) Wolves

7/2 (5/2) Everton

10/1 (10/1) Palace

10/1 (12/1) Man City

22/1 (20/1) West Ham

66/1 (7/1) Brentford

300/1 (3/1) Forest

300/1 (11/2) Fulham

300/1 (200/1) Villa

300/1 (40/1) Brighton

400/1 (7/1) Bournemouth

450/1 (40/1) Chelsea

500/1 (250/1) Tottenham

500/1 (250/1) Newcastle United

500/1 (250/1) Man U

2,000/1 (2,000/1) Liverpool

2,000/1 (2,000/1) Arsenal

Eddie Howe’s team now seen as joint fourth least likely to go down in the 2024/25 season.

If you are wondering about the Man City 10/1 odds of relegation, this is due to the possibility (probability?) of severe punishment from the 115 Premier League charges they face, which could include amongst other sanctions, points deduction or even relegation. That case is ongoing. Though there again, the way their current form is going on the pitch as well now…

Finish Premier League top four:

1/50 (1/2) Liverpool

1/20 (1/9) Arsenal

1/10 (9/4) Chelsea

1/2 (1/7) Man City

13/2 (9/4) Tottenham

15/2 (2/1) Man U

10/1 (9/4) Newcastle United

11/1 (7/2) Villa

16/1 (11/1) Brighton

20/1 (100/1) Forest

28/1 (66/1) Bournemouth

40/1 (66/1) Fulham

100/1 (66/1) Brentford

This is where, like me, I guess you will be giving most focus.

Can Newcastle United bounce back into the Premier League top four and get Champions League football?

Well, the bookies now have NUFC seventh most likely, after that dominant win over Leicester.

The next Premier League match for Newcastle is against relegation zone Ipswich, can NUFC take advantage?
