The juggernaut that is the English top flight is in full swing and we’ve got all the Premier League odds right here for you.
Arne Slot’s debut season at Liverpool is going like a dream – it certainly helps having Mohamed Salah in red-hot form – and the Reds have opened up a healthy lead at the top of the table as they search for a first title since 2020.
Manchester City’s bid to win an unprecedented fifth-consecutive title has gone wrong and Arsenal are playing catch up with barely any attackers left in their armoury.
The Gunners will, no doubt, keep applying the pressure but the trophy looks set to be heading to Anfield. Football’s a funny old game, though…
Liverpool
As Jurgen Klopp strolled off the Anfield turf for one final time he led the home fans in a slightly awkward ‘Arne Slot’ chant to usher in the new era.
Slot may have won the title in the Netherlands, but the Premier League is a different ball game, as he looks to fill Klopp’s shoes.
However, he’s taken to English football like a duck to water, with his side top the lot after 25 games with 60 points on the board.
Three of the club’s biggest stars – Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold – are entering the final year of their contract and success may be pivotal if they’re to stay.
Next Fixture: Aston Villa (A) Wed. Feb 19 – 19:30
Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s team are second favourites and look like being the only team capable of denying Liverpool.
The Gunners added depth in last summer’s transfer window, with Italian star Ricardo Calafiori coming into the defence and the experienced Raheem Sterling arriving on loan, but they still don’t have an out-and-out proven goalscorer.
Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are set for lengthy spells on the sidelines leaving Arsenal will no senior strikers. Could their lack of attacking depth prove costly?
Next Fixture: West Ham (H) Sat. Feb 22 – 15:00
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola has extended his Manchester City contract for another two years, but the problems are mounting at the Etihad Stadium.
A string of defeats in autumn and winter means the reigning champions have slipped as title favourites with Paddy Power and they are a long way off the pace.
Qualifying for next season’s Champions League now looks to be the height of their ambitions.
Next Fixture: Liverpool (A) Sun. Feb 23 – 16:30
