Newcastle United 2024/25 Premier League top four chances – Bookies react after Man City match | OneFootball

Some very 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 Saturday’s draw against Manchester City.

The Premier League sixth round of games now completed.

With Bournemouth winning 3-1 against Southampton on Monday night.

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:

6/4 (9/5) Arsenal

2/1 (11/8) Man City

5/1 (13/2) Liverpool

14/1 (40/1) Chelsea

50/1 (33/1) Tottenham

80/1 (66/1) Aston Villa

200/1 (40/1) Newcastle United

200/1 (28/1) Man U

250/1 (200/1) Brighton

So Newcastle United now rated joint seventh most likely…

To be honest, I can’t see anything other than Man City or Arsenal, maybe Liverpool as a possible third contender. Interesting though of course to see the Rodri injury and failing to win against Newcastle United, seeing Man City no longer favourites. Considering they went into the Newcastle game with 13 wins and a draw in their last 14 Premier League matches, are Man City really no longer the best team?

This is how the Premier League table looks on Tuesday morning:

Premier League relegation:

2/7 (1/1) Southampton

4/7 (1/2) Leicester

11/10 (10/11) Ipswich

2/1 (7/2) Wolves

9/4 (5/2) Everton

8/1 (3/1) Forest

9/1 (10/1) Palace

10/1 (7/1) Brentford

12/1 (12/1) Man City

14/1 (7/1) Bournemouth

18/1 (11/2) Fulham

20/1 (20/1) West Ham

66/1 (40/1) Brighton

80/1 (40/1 Chelsea

200/1 (250/1) Man U

300/1 (250/1) Newcastle United

500/1 (200/1) Villa

750/1 (250/1) Tottenham

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

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

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

If you are wondering about the Man City 12/1 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 hearing now reported to be ongoing.

Finish Premier League top four:

1/20 (1/9) Arsenal

1/5 (1/2) Liverpool

1/4 (1/7) Man City

4/5 (9/4) Chelsea

11/4 (9/4) Tottenham

9/2  (7/2) Villa

5/1 (9/4) Newcastle United

15/2 (2/1) Man U

12/1 (11/1) Brighton

66/1 (25/1) West Ham

66/1 (66/1) Fulham

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 still have NUFC as contenders, seeing Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool as hot favourites for those Premier League top four spots, then Chelsea now seen as fourth most likely.

Tottenham and Villa now also rated ahead of Newcastle United, by bookies and punters.

I think that after these next two rounds of Premier League matches it will be interesting to see how things stand then.

Newcastle United away to Everton and home against Brighton, these are the type of matches where wins can very much be the kind of foundation needed for a challenge on the Premier League top four.

We are also now moving fully into the period of the season when European demands could impact on those teams competing this season in the three UEFA competitions.
