Premier League winner
There’s no doubt that Manchester City are favourites to collect a sixth top-flight title in seven years having landed an historic treble last season.
City won 44 of their 60th competitive matches in the 2022-23 season, scoring three or more goals in 31 games in all competitions.
City scored 150 goals in all competitions last season, the most of any team in Europe’s top five leagues with over 34% of those struck by centre-forward Erling Haaland.
The 23-year-old broke the Premier League’s single-season scoring record in his debut campaign, and could improve further in his second full season in English football.
There are, however, a few concerns at the Etihad Stadium with Mateo Kovacic still their only arrival of note. City have lost stalwarts in Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez and missed out on the likes of Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice.
Transfer struggles aren’t something Arsenal have had to deal with. The Gunners have improved their starting XI significantly by shelling out just short of £200million on Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.

Mikel Arteta has shown maximum efficiency when it comes to transfer dealings, and will be capable of replicating last season’s efforts if his crop of young talent continues to improve.
Champions League participation could be viewed as a concern, but the squad looks deep enough to cope with the demands of top-tier midweek football — at least for the first half of the campaign.
It could be an extremely exciting campaign for Liverpool, whose squad is absolutely stacked with attacking talent. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have been drafted in to bolster the midfield ranks after the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Jurgen Klopp has an embarrassment of riches with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, Darin Nunez and Luis Diaz to choose from, while Europa League football is unlikely to disrupt or overexert his ranks.
The Merseyside outfit will be blockbuster to watch this season, and that’s already shown in pre-season with 4+ goals scored in each of their three clashes.
Manchester United are considered ‘best of the rest’ at 10/1 but the squad is still lacking with Mason Mount the only outfield arrival. Erik ten Hag desperately needs a striker and though Rasmus Hojlund is close to joining — he’s an unknown quantity in English football.

Premier League relegation
It’s going to be a long, hard season for quite a few sides. The gap between those in the upper echelons of the division and those dwelling at the bottom has widened after a busy (and expensive) summer of recruitment.
Six clubs have spent over £100million on additions, while the likes of Brighton, Aston Villa, Brentford, Burnley and Bournemouth have all spent upwards of £60m on fresh talent.
In contrast, promoted duo Luton Town and Sheffield United have spent a pittance. The Blades have signed 20-year-old Benie Traore and Anis Slimane on permanent deals for just over £6m, neither of whom have experience at the highest level.

Last season’s top scorer Iliman Ndiaye is close to joining Marseille, while influential loanee James McAtee has returned to Manchester City — both of whom were responsible for much of the creativity in last season’s promotion-winning Championship campaign.
They are led by Barnsley-born manager Paul Heckingbottom who has lost seven of his only ten fixtures as a Premier League boss.
Luton have brought in four paid signings with Ryan Giles and Tahith Chong among those through the door, but it’s highly unlikely they’ll replicate Bournemouth, Fulham and Nottingham Forest, who all survived after promotion last year.
The Hatters earned promotion via the play-off final, and built their success on a solid defence. They conceded just 39 goals all season and ground out 17 draws in their 46 fixtures. Goals were the big issue for Rob Edwards’ side, who notched upon just 57 — just nine more than relegated Blackpool.
Without goals, there’s simply too much pressure on the defence to succeed and that will surely be Luton’s undoing up against a higher calibre of opposition.
The bookies suspect that second-season syndrome will affect both Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, who are available at 9/4 and 5/2 respectively to finish in the bottom three.

Premier League top goalscorer
Feel free to skip past this section, there’s only one answer to who will be crowned the Premier League’s top goalscorer: Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian striker, 23, smashed nearly every record in the book during his debut campaign at the Etihad Stadium, and he’s likely to improve yet again.
As discussed earlier, Haaland scored 52 goals in 53 appearances for City and scored 2+ goals on 16 occasions – including six hat-tricks. So it’s no surprise to see him priced at odds-on 8/11 to retain his Golden Boot status.

But Sky Bet do offer an each-way market for the top goalscorer, and there’s certainly value to be had if your selection finishes in the top four of the scoring charts.
Harry Kane is Haaland’s closest rival at 7/1, although it does look increasingly likely that the England international will join Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
That could open the door to Brazilian forward Richarlison, who could is offered at a colossal 80/1 with Sky Bet. The attacker endured a torrid debut season in north London, but could be deployed in the No.9 role if Kane departs.
It is very hard to argue that Richarlison is not a natural No.9 after his starring role for Brazil at the World Cup, and netted a 45-minute hat-trick after replacing Kane in a recent friendly.
He’s unlikely to trouble Haaland, but with Son Heung-min and James Maddison pulling the strings in a side managed by attacking Ange Postecoglou, 80/1 could represent value for a place if Kane exits.
Mohamed Salah is perhaps a more solid option at 8/1. The Egyptian has won it three times, and still finished with 19 league goals in a Liverpool side that finished fifth in the division. Colleague Darwin Nunez is double the price at 16/1 and doesn’t have he African Cup of Nations taking him away at the beginning of 2024.

Top price boosts
There’s value here… if you can find it. We’ve all seen these 500/1 RequestABet that have flown in by January, and there will no doubt be a few dotted around ahead of the new season.
It’s not 500/1 but Arsenal to score 12+ Premier League goals in August is available at 9/1. The Gunners have three fixtures before September and those are against Nottingham Forest (H), Crystal Palace (a) and Fulham (H).

Arsenal scored nine in their opening three fixtures last season, and won 5-0, 4-0 and 3-0 against these opponents last year.
Manchester City to score 90+ league goals, Arsenal to score 80+ league goals, Tottenham to score 70+ league goals & Newcastle to score 60+ league goals is priced at 11/1.
City struck 94 last year, Arsenal bagged 88, and Tottenham and Newcastle scored 70 and 68 respectively. A repeat of that would be enough to see this price boost settled as a winner.
