Latest Premier League Odds: Anything but Smooth Sailing for Favourites

Liverpool, Arsenal, and Spurs all continued their perfect starts, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. This and more in the latest PL odds watch.

Newcastle and Liverpool Face Off Amidst Isak Uncertainty

St. James’ Park hosted a fiery clash on Monday night as Newcastle took on Champions Liverpool. Already a heated fixture, tensions were heightened by Alexander Isak’s reported desire to join the visitors and his refusal to play for his current side.

Hugo Ekitike’s early second-half strike looked decisive, especially after Anthony Gordon’s late first-half red card. Despite being down to ten men, Newcastle battled bravely and found an equaliser, only for teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha to snatch a late winner for Liverpool.

Following their second dramatic victory in as many games, the Reds are now 7/4 to win the Premier League.

Gunners Fire Five Past Leeds

Arsenal extended their winning run with an emphatic triumph over Leeds. Summer signing Viktor Gyokeres bagged a brace, while Jurrien Timber also scored twice in an unlikely attacking showcase.

However, the victory came at a cost, as both Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka were forced off with injuries. Their absences did open the door for 15-year-old Max Dowman to make his debut. The Gunners remain 7/4 to lift the Premier League title.

City Stunned by Impressive Spurs

After brushing aside Wolves on opening weekend, Manchester City were outclassed by Thomas Frank’s Spurs in Saturday’s early kick-off.

First-half goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha sealed the win for Tottenham, leaving Pep Guardiola with plenty to ponder. City are now 9/2 to win the Premier League.

Chelsea Display Dominance Over Struggling Hammers

Chelsea secured their first win of the season with a commanding 5-1 victory over West Ham, even without Cole Palmer. Brazilian wonderkid Estevao shone, while compatriot Joao Pedro opened his league account for the club.

Five different scorers got on the scoresheet as Chelsea looked far more like the side that lifted the Club World Cup than the one that drew with Crystal Palace the previous week. They’re 8/13 to finish in the top four.

Thomas Frank has Spurs flying, with their victory over Manchester City making it two wins from two. With further signings expected before the transfer window closes, optimism is building in North London. They’re 3/1 to secure a top-four finish this season.

Despite playing much of the game with ten men, Newcastle pushed Liverpool all the way. Anthony Gordon’s dismissal seemed like a hammer blow, but instead inspired his side to rally.

A late strike from 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha denied the Geordies a deserved point, leaving them still searching for their first win of the season. They’re 14/5 to finish inside the top four.

Burnley Beat Sunderland in Probable Relegation Six-Pointer

Two newly-promoted sides clashed at Turf Moor as Burnley claimed a vital 2-0 win over Sunderland. The Clarets picked up their first points of the season, while Sunderland returned home empty-handed.

Burnley are now 4/11 to be relegated, while Sunderland face similarly tough odds at 4/7 to drop back down.

West Ham Woes Continue

The Hammers’ decline under Graham Potter shows no sign of stopping. With just one major summer signing, the squad already looks vulnerable, and Saturday’s humiliation against Chelsea only confirmed their struggles.

Some fans left before half-time, with frustration mounting around the club. West Ham are 7/4 to be relegated.

Nuno Voices Frustration At Forest Owner

Tension at Nottingham Forest has sparked a shift in the odds for the next Premier League manager to leave. Boss Nuno Espirito Santo openly criticised owner Evangelos Marinakis, citing a breakdown in their working relationship.

With speculation mounting, Nuno is 4/7 to be the next PL manager out of a job.

Potters Side Hammered Again

West Ham’s defeat to Chelsea has done little to ease pressure on Graham Potter. Previously favourite to be sacked first, he now sits behind Nuno but remains firmly under scrutiny.

Potter is 3/1 to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.

Haaland Goes Goalless

Erling Haaland drew a blank in City’s loss to Spurs, though he is placed at 1/1 and is so far the favourite in the Golden Boot race.

Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres scored his first league goals in style with a brace against Leeds. He’s 11/2 to finish as the Premier League’s top scorer.

Mohamed Salah has just one goal in two games, a modest return by his high standards. With Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo both impressing, Salah’s influence looks reduced this season. He’s 9/1 to retain the Golden Boot.
