The Premier League having kicked off again after the first of so many ridiculous international breaks.

Eddie Howe’s team now seen as third least likely to go down in the 2024/25 season.
If you are wondering about the Man City 12/1 odds of relegation, this is due to the possibility (probability?) of severe punishment from the 115 Premier League charges they face, which could include amongst other sanctions, points deduction or even relegation. That hearing set to reportedly start today.
Finish Premier League top four:
1/12 (1/9) Arsenal
1/8 (1/7) Man City
1/4 (1/2) Liverpool
7/4 (9/4) Chelsea
5/2 (9/4) Newcastle United
7/2 (9/4) Tottenham
4/1 (7/2) Villa
4/1 (2/1) Man U
7/1 (11/1) Brighton
20/1 (25/1) West Ham
66/1 (33/1) Crystal Palace
66/1 (80/1) Bournemouth
This is where, like me, I guess you will be giving most focus.
With fair luck, can Newcastle United bounce back into the Premier League top four and get Champions League football?
Well the bookies still have NUFC as real contenders, seeing Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool as hot favourites for those Premier League top four spots, then Chelsea, with Newcastle United now seen as fifth most likely, by bookies and punters.
