| Manchester City | 15/8 |
| Manchester United | 7/2 |
| Chelsea | 7/2 |
| Tottenham | 9/1 |
| Arsenal | 11/1 |
| Liverpool | 12/1 |

Odds are subject to change prior to the first match on August 11th. Odds at 9/1 mean that you will receive €9 for every €1 bet. Leicester City took down the Premier League title in 2016, accomplishing the feat as one of the greatest underdogs of all time. Before the 2015-2016 season began, Leicester City was a 5000/1 underdog on some sportsbooks. A €1 bet would have returned about €5000.
This season, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea will head in to the season as expected favorites. Meanwhile, Brighton makes its first Premier League appearance as a 1500/1 underdog while Newcastle returns to the top flight as a 500/1 dog to win the English Premier League outright.
In addition to betting on the winner of the EPL, you can also wager on your favorite team making an appearance in the top 4 or being regulated. In case you were wondering, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are 2500/1 dogs to be regulated.
Related propositional bets include markets on the top EPL goal scorers, top team scorer, team placement, top newcomers and more.
