A Sneak Peek into the Premier League's 2020/21 Line-Up and Bookies' Predictions

Who Might Be Crowned Premier League Champions in 2020/21?

Despite Liverpool's stellar performance in securing the title last season, bookmakers still have their eyes set on Manchester City as the top contender for this year. This isn't too surprising as City has clinched the Premier League title four times in the last eight years. You can find the best odds at 888sport , offering a 4/5 chance that City will once again take the trophy home next May.

After a long three-decade dry spell, Liverpool's victory last season was nothing short of a heartfelt comeback. Now, can they repeat their stunning success? Bookie Bet365 places Liverpool at 9/4 odds to capture the 2020/21 Premier League glory. Though longer than City’s odds, it’s still a bet worth considering given Jurgen Klopp’s impressive record. Remarkably, Liverpool has maintained an unbeaten streak at home since April 2017. They are determined to start off the new season strong, facing off against Leeds United this Saturday.

Chelsea has a legacy of consecutive Premier League victories from the Mourinho era, but it's been a while since those triumphant days. That's a bit too long for Roman Abramovich and the devoted supporters. With Frank Lampard at the helm since last July, he’s on a mission to bring another major title to Stamford Bridge. The club has been pouring resources into bolstering their squad with players like Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, and Thiago Silva, hoping to make significant inroads. Odds are still at 11/1 with tip for the World Cup Top Goalscorer Manchester United might not be a favorite for the title this time, listed with odds of 20/1 from bookmaker William Hill .

. Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the team ascended from a sixth-place finish in 2018/19 to third last season. But can they continue this upward journey? Last time around, they lagged 33 points behind Liverpool and were 15 points short of Manchester City. Whether they climb further will largely hinge on strengthening their defense and boosting overall team performance. Betway The recent legal drama involving captain Harry Maguire for charges of violence and attempted bribery in Greece brings cloud to United’s sunny ambitions. Adding to the turmoil, Mason Greenwood’s antics—breaking COVID protocols in Iceland—won’t earn any merit badges either.
