Premier League top 4 odds and prediction: 10/1 outsiders remain genuine contenders

Current Premier League top 4 odds provide an indication of where teams are expected to end up come next May.

Will the league table look much as it did at the end of the previous campaign? Will we see some big changes at the top end of the Premier League table? Here’s our take on the current situation.

Best Premier League top 4 odds

Ignore the first three teams in the current long list if you want anything resembling a decent payout. Meanwhile, the 4/6 price against Man City reflects their status as something of a loose cannon, making them the first of our selections to watch.

Selections to watch

Man City

Although the title race is pretty much wrapped up at this stage, something that is certainly still up for grabs is a place in the coveted Premier League top four. Manchester City have been inconsistent all season, currently sitting in fifth place, one point behind Chelsea.

A 2-2 draw with Brighton did little to help the Cityzens' cause, as only nine games remain for them to secure a place in the Champions League, with Chelsea waiting to play Arsenal on 16th March.

While Omar Marmoush and Erling Haaland have been in good goal-scoring form, City's defence has been significantly leakier than usual, as they have seen the ball hit the back of their net 40 times this season.

Bookies still have Pep Guardiola's side priced at 8/11 to make the grade, but it is looking like a difficult task at present.

Newcastle United

There was no fixture for Newcastle this weekend, as they instead face off against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, meaning they retain a game in hand over their other top-four-chasing rivals.

The exploits of striker Alexander Isak have been integral to the Magpies' results this season, as the Swede has found the back of the net on 19 occasions, a record which has seen the club rise to sixth in the table.

Newcastle have also conceded less goals than fifth place Man City, and are still in with a good chance of returning to the Champions League. They were helped by a 1-0 win over West Ham United last time out.

They are still two points within the top-four spots, but the club's results will need to remain consistent if they are to stay in with a chance of featuring in next season's Champions League.

Brighton

Bookies are giving Brighton 10/1 odds to finish inside the top four this season, as the gap to the top has closed significantly in recent weeks. The Seagulls' form has been immaculate of late, with their last defeat coming on 1st February, winning six of the last seven in all competitions.

An Abdukodir Khusanov own goal and a direct free kick from Pervis Estupinian helped Fabian Hurzeler's side draw with Man City. The result extended their unbeaten run to over a month of fixtures.

Now level on points with Newcastle, the Seagulls should certainly not be discounted from making a surprise late push for the Champions League places.

Who will finish in the Premier League top 4? Here’s our prediction

We’re not raising any eyebrows here, but if City don’t lose any points as a result of their trial, they’ll surely have enough strength in depth to take up that fourth spot behind the expected top three.

Prediction (City not deducted points): Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City

If City do lose points, though, we feel that Villa’s prior experience of going the distance puts them in good stead, even with Midland rivals Forest currently laying waste to all in their path. They may be 9/1 in places, but the margins are still very fine going into 2025.

Prediction (City deducted points): Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa
