There’s a new La Liga leader, while the other top four European soccer leagues didn’t suffer any changes at the top. That doesn’t mean that things are settled. Quite the opposite, since the end of the season is a long way off.
Let’s take a look at what has happened in recent weeks and how the sports betting odds to win it all have changed.
Premier League (England)
Tottenham remain at first place after 11 games into the season for the first time since the 1975-76 season. That’s right, Jose Mourinho’s team beat Arsenal 2-0 (goals from Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane) to remain at the top with 24 points (7-3-1).
Liverpool also have 24 points (7-3-1), but they have conceded more goals than Tottenham (17/9). Last weekend, the “Reds” beat Wolves 4-0; Mohamed Salah, Georginio Wijnaldum, Joel Matip and Nelson Semedo (OG) scored the goals.

Chelsea haven’t lost in their last five English Premier League games, and now they own third place with 22 points (6-4-1). The “Blues” are followed by Leicester City (21 points), Manchester United (19 points) and Manchester City (18 points).
All four of these teams won last weekend, and keep in mind that Manchester United and Manchester City have one game less than the other.
