Selections to watch
The top three teams from last season, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, have the lowest odds of once again finishing in the top four in the Premier League. In fact, the odds are so low that they offer little value, which is understandable since these teams are clearly above the rest of the league, although that does not always translate into results.
After all, we have seen City struggle at one point last season, and the Cityzens had to dig deep to secure their place in the top four at the end. Still, it is highly likely that we will once again see these teams at the top and with the odds so low, we will focus on other teams that offer better value for money when it comes to the race for a spot in the Champions League.
Chelsea
With five wins in the final six rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea finished the season on a tear and managed to clinch fourth place and a spot in the Champions League for next season.
As one of the youngest teams in the league that struggled to find the best form for a while, it was an impressive season for them at the end, crowned with winning the Conference League with a victory over Real Betis in the final.
The Blues had an excellent summer, bringing in several top signings and winning the Club World Cup. They have enjoyed a decent start to the new season, too, picking up four points from their first two matches.
Newcastle
The Magpies were one of the main favourites to finish in the top four last season as well, and while they ended up in fifth, it was still enough to qualify for the Champions League this season.
As things stand, things are a little up in the air at St James' Park. The club have missed out on several top targets this summer and are almost certainly going to lose Alexander Isak before the window slams shut.
Their start to the season on the pitch hasn't been great, either, and they have picked up just one point from their opening two matches.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa's failure to finish outside the top four triggered an underwhelming transfer window, and unless something drastic changes over the final week of the transfer window, they should be considered as outsiders for the top four this season, regardless of what the odds say.
Things have gone a little stale on the pitch, and they haven't even managed to score a goal in the Premier League so far this season.
Manchester United
Manchester United have, on paper at least, resolved their lack of goals last season by bringing in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. The key now is bringing in players to help get the ball to this trio, most notably an all-action midfielder.
If the club are successful in their pursuit of Carlos Baleba, then they will have a legitimate shot at making the top four. However, if they fail to sign a top midfielder, then they are unlikely to find themselves that high up the table.
United were encouraging in their performance at home to Arsenal in their opening game of the new Premier League season, but still lost 1-0. They weren't quite as good against Fulham, but there were still some positive signs.
Who will finish in the Premier League top 4? Here is our prediction
We are not raising any eyebrows here, but Liverpool, Arsenal, and City should all be in the top four come the end of the season. However, the real question is who will be the fourth team to join them at the top Our money is on Chelsea. They have proven they have a lot of quality and have a bucket load of depth.
