Premier League Odds: Man City & Liverpool Lead the Way

4 Premier League Storylines to Follow After 3 Matchdays

1. Man City and Liverpool Are Flying High

Man City has started in ominous fashion, earning impressive away wins at Chelsea and West Ham in between a three-goal home victory over Ipswich, which were all achieved without Rodri.

Pep Guardiola could not have wished for a better start, which is also the case for Liverpool boss Arne Slot. Life as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement appears easy with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford an early statement to help them also sit on nine points out of nine.

After scoring a treble against Ipswich Town last week, Erling Haaland took his tally to seven goals for 2024-25 at London Stadium.

It means he has now scored more Premier League goals alone this season than any club has. Meanwhile, Mo Salah’s three goals and three assists attest to his fine all-round showings under new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.

It will come as no surprise that Pep Guardiola’s side is still a massive favorite in our soccer betting lines to claim an unprecedented fifth title in a row priced at +110.

Last season’s Arsenal was really the only challengers for the title, but just fell short on the final day. Liverpool could be the side to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League this season instead of Arsenal.

Before a ball had been kicked we thought it was going to be Arsenal’s year to give City a real go and possibly win it. But after watching the first three games, we think Liverpool could go past Arsenal. So, if you love your futures, the Reds are priced at +450 in our betting odds to win the EPL title.

2. Another Great Start for Brighton

Fabian Hurzeler has made a flying start at Brighton, earning a memorable triumph over Manchester United before they recorded a respectable draw at Arsenal. The 31-year-old has taken to English football like a duck to water.

They maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season after earning a 1-1 draw with 10-man Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, only the second draw in eight head-to-head meetings between the two sides.

After the international break they will play newly-promoted Ipswich and we will include them in our soccer picks and parlays to cover the spread.

3. Everton and Southampton: No Points After 3 Rounds

Everton missed a golden chance to finally secure their first win of the Premier League season, letting slip an 87th-minute 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 against Bournemouth to the dismay of a disgusted Goodison Park.

Not just that, but they conceded 10 goals in the first three rounds and we expect them to struggle this season. They will travel to play Aston Villa after the international break and we expect them to concede at least two-three goals.

Another team with zero points is Southampton, who lost to Brentford, Nottingham and Newcastle. On top of that, they have the worst attack in the league with just one goal scored so far this season.

Next they will play Man United at home and they enter this clash as huge underdogs priced at +326 BetUS soccer odds.

4. Man United Is Nowhere to Be Found

Manchester United supporters could be forgiven for feeling it is black day after Erik ten Hag watched his team lose to Liverpool on Sunday. It followed a last-minute defeat at Brighton, with familiar questions being asked and he must improve United’s performances to avoid further scrutiny over his future.

It was heavily speculated by soccer news outlets that the Dutchman would lose his job last term after overseeing a disappointing Premier League campaign but he was eventually handed a reprieve by United’s top brass after winning the FA Cup.

Ten Hag hasn’t enjoyed the best start to the new campaign, though, with United on three points from three games heading into the international break. It cannot be sugar-coated, the former Ajax boss is under huge pressure with his odds slashed on becoming the first Premier League manager to be sacked.

However, despite United’s torrid start to the new 2024-25 season, according to recent reports, the club’s hierarchy, which includes INEOS CEO, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, will not part ways with the 54-year-old anytime soon.

The upcoming international break provides a glimmer of hope for Manchester United as they aim to overcome their ongoing injury crisis. While some key players remain sidelined, there are positive signs for others making progress towards their return.

They have a mountain to climb and the schedule is not an easy one with two road games against the Saints and Crystal Palace and a home fixture with Tottenham.
