If you’re not familiar with the English Premier League and how their system works of how to win championships (and there’s a lot of you), let’s go over that real quick before we get to the odds and my analysis. And trust me, it’s a fairly simple process.
The EPL makes up of 20 teams altogether that compete against one another twice a year. The season begins in August and runs all the way until May.
Here is how the scoring works for the EPL Table:
- WIN: 3 Points
- DRAW (TIE): 1 Point
- LOSS: None
After the 38 matches have been played, the team who finishes at the top of the league wins the English Premier League championship — yep, that’s it. It’s that simple. There is no playoff system with the EPL at all, unless… we’ll get to that here in a second.
If at the end of the season, two or more teams have the same amount of points, an order of factors then come into play to separate them until a winner is crowned. The first thing that is looked at is “goal difference”, which is the number you get by subtracting one team’s total goals conceded from their goals scored. If that number happens to be the same, then the champion is named by just the total amount of goals punched in. If that number is also the same, then the two have a playoff game, which has never been needed in the history of the Premier League — so don’t get your hopes up.
Now that we’ve got that settled (you would be surprised at how much I get asked this from non-soccer fans), let’s get to the odds and the analysis, followed by my prediction for the English Premier League Champion.

Favorites to Win the English Premier League Championship
MANCHESTER CITY (-275)
After the upset to Chelsea this past weekend, Manchester City (13-2-1) is no longer undefeated and ranked atop the EPL Table, but they still rank in the first spot according to the odds. When you look at the statistics for the team as a whole, it should come as no surprise. In goal difference, they come in at No. 1 with 36. In goals scored, it’s the same story with the No. 1 ranking with 45. For assists, do you really think it’s going to be a different story? No, the domination continues there as well. They’re ranked first overall with a total of 34. In goals conceded, they fail to get the No. 1 spot there, but I’m sure they don’t mind second place — which is where they come in at, allowing nine goals.
Manchester City has massive firepower in individualism to go along with the overall team numbers as well.
- For the year, Raheem Sterling has punched in eight goals with six assists — all of this in just 13 matches. And he’s not the only superstar that Manchester City has.
- Sergio Aguero has kicked in eight goals himself with four assists to go along with that number.
- Leroy Sane also adds a lot of scoring to Manchester City’s flow as well, punching in six goals for the season and assisting with five.
Utter dominance and unlimited starpower are the reasons why the defending champions still hold the top spot in the odds, and why they will likely do so for the rest of the campaign. Or will they?
LIVERPOOL (+250)
Liverpool (13-3-0) comes in as the second favorite to win it all with +250 odds, but places first on the EPL Table with an undefeated record — the only undefeated team remaining in the league.
And here’s an interesting factoid about Liverpool — The best three starts through 16 matches in Premier League history is as follows:
- 1. 2017-18 Manchester City (46 PTS)
- 2. 2005-06 Chelsea (43 PTS)
- 3. 2018-19 Liverpool (42 PTS)
Notice how this season’s Liverpool team comes in the No. 3 spot? Now check out another factoid about the first two teams on that list: They both won the championship in their season. So will Liverpool once again become title town? History says so.
Let’s look at the past five EPL games for them, that will put things in perspective even more of how dominating they are:
Premier League Champions 2018 19 Odds Predictions
- 1. Defeated AFC Bournemouth (4-0)
- 2. Defeated Burnley (3-1)
- 3. Defeated Everton (1-0)
- 4. Defeated Watford (3-0)
- 5. Defeated Fulham (2-0)
In the last five matches alone, Liverpool has outscored their opponents, 13-1. For the season altogether, they’ve outscored their opponents, 34-6. Do I even need to say it? That’s just absolutely insane. And even though they’re not statistically as great as Manchester City, they show up with some numbers themselves — top five numbers as a matter of fact.
In goal difference, Liverpool comes in second with 28. In goals scored, they have a total of 34 — which comes in third overall. Their 19 assists come in fifth, and they have the top defense in the league only allowing six goals total.
And the biggest thanks for Liverpool’s success has to go to their star, Mohamed Salah. He’s compiled a total of 10 goals for the season, which is tied for first with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Salah’s dominance to go along with the firepower of Sadio Mane (six goals) is sure to make Manchester City shaky in the odds, along with the rest of Liverpool at that — all they know how to do is win.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (+3300)
Not quite as elite as Manchester City and Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur (12-0-4) still comes in at the No. 3 spot with a total of 36 points — just six behind first-place Manchester City. Tottenham would get dropped to No. 5 Arsenal in Matchday 15, but was able to take out No. 4 Chelsea in Matchday 13. Meaning, the Spurs take a loss every now and then, yes, but have the capability to beat powerhouse talent such as Chelsea. And similar to Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur also places in the top five in each of the statistical categories.
In goal difference, the Spurs bring in a 14 to place fifth in the EPL. They’ve scored a total of 30 goals to place them fifth on the table. In assists, they’ve tallied 20 to put themselves at the No. 4 spot in the rankings. In goals conceded, they also come in at the four spot letting 16 hit their net.
And here is the brightest spot for Tottenham Hotspur as the season progresses:
Kane currently sits in third behind Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in goals scored with a total of nine — just one behind both Aubameyang and Salah (10). With these statistics, Kane is actually the current odds-favorite to finish with the most goals at the end of the season. If that happens, only currently being six points behind Manchester City for the lead, Tottenham Hotspur might be able to land themselves in the top spot when the smoke clears. After all, goals win games.

CHELSEA (+6600)
Right now sitting with a 10-4-2 record, Chelsea comes in at the No. 4 spot in both the EPL Table and odds. That placement pits them eight points behind the league leader, Manchester City, but that isn’t far off by any stretch of the imagination with 22 matches still remaining in the season. Despite losing to No. 3 Tottenham Hotspur in Matchday 13 and getting upset by the Wolverhampton Wanderers in Matchday 15, Chelsea still managed to pull an upset themselves over league leader, Manchester City — and did so in a dominating 2-0 fashion.
Even though a little inconsistency lingers within Chelsea, however, they still come with the productivity and effectiveness. In goal difference, they place third overall with a 20. They’ve scored a total of 33 goals to put them at the No. 4 ranking, and the ball movement has been excellent tallying 26 assists — that places second in the EPL. And defensively, Chelsea has conceded a total of 13 goals, which comes in the No. 3 spot. That number is a bit high (though not too bad), and needs to come down in order to compete with teams like Manchester City and Liverpool for the title — luckily for Chelsea, that’s doable. And no surprise coming from the Chelsea brand, they also bring along their firepower for the rest of the campaign.
It may not be that of Manchester City and Liverpool, but it’s pretty good. Eden Hazard has an excellent statline of seven goals and eight assists, Alvaro Morata and Pedro both follow-up with Hazard with a total of five goals apiece. Not bad odds for Chelsea the rest of the way.
A Bit of a Stretch, but Victory Isn’t out of the Question
ARSENAL (+8000)
Arsenal (10-4-2) sits in the No. 5 spot on the EPL Table with a total of 34 points — eight behind Liverpool. Arsenal’s big win in their last five games was against No. 3 Tottenham Hotspur in Matchday 15. The reason why that’s so key is because when you look at Arsenal’s schedule, they had yet to get a win against an elite EPL team. They’ve drawn against Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea — they’ve lost to Chelsea and Manchester City. Now that the monkey is off their back, Arsenal can now ride the wave of momentum to go along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s league-leading 10 goals — Alexandre Lacazette will also be able to help out the scoring, he currently has six goals to his name. Now let’s get to the team statistics, because I’ve got some good news and some bad news for Arsenal fans.
In each goal difference (15 – 4th), goals scored (35 – 2nd) and assists (25 – 3rd), Arsenal places in the top five compared to the rest of the league.
They have allowed way too many goals past them, a total of 20 to be exact. That’s not good at all, even last place Fulham is doing better than them sitting at 16.
Things don’t look too bad for Arsenal as the season progresses, but when you get to their defense, you can’t help but to ring the alarm. If Arsenal doesn’t fix that up, their chances of gaining ground will eventually evaporate — very inconsistent year defensively for Arsenal. If they clean that up, they’ll be sitting pretty with their potent offense.
MANCHESTER UNITED (+50000)
This is definitely a long-shot pick, but how can you leave the Manchester United (7-5-4) brand out of the odds-favorites? You can’t, that’s the thing. On the EPL Table, Manchester United currently comes in at the No. 6 ranking with a total of 26 points — 16 behind first-place rival, Manchester City. Other than draws with Chelsea and Arsenal, Manchester United has gotten absolutely dominated by elite clubs.
They got outscored by Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool by a combined score of 10-2 — not what we’re accustomed to with this brand. On top of that, they’ve been pretty inconsistent with middle-of-the-pack and below average teams — losing and drawing to several. (Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Brighton & Hove Albion) And it doesn’t get any better when you look at the numbers: Manchester United only has a two in goal difference, which ranks at No. 7 overall in the EPL. They’ve compiled 28 goals for the season which comes in at sixth. They’re seventh in assists with a total of 17.
When you look at the individual statistics, Manchester United has a bit of firepower, but are severely lacking in selflessness. Anthony Martial (7) and Romelu Lukaku (6) bring some healthy numbers in goals, but both have zero assists — the leading assist guy is Marcus Rashford with five. With the lack of ball movement and one of the worst defenses in the EPL, it could be a tough year, but should still be a winning one for Manchester United. If they clean up at a massive level, the payday could be massive with this long-shot pick.
