How bookies predict the Premier League table will finish in 2019-20

A new Premier League season is looming into view and after one of the tightest title races in years bookmakers predict we could be in for more of the same.

Manchester City pipped Liverpool to the league last term by a single point after winning every single one of their final 14 games.

Despite the departure of influential captain Vincent Kompany the bookies expect a repeat with every major firm in the UK making Pep Guardiola’s side odds-on to win a third consecutive title.

While the Reds are predicted to fall just short of City once again, they look set to finish well clear of their other rivals, with Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal the best of the rest in the bookies’ eyes.

At the foot of the table, it’s bad news for newcomers Norwich City and Sheffield United who are both expected to return straight back to the Championship, with the likes of Brighton, Burnley and fellow promoted side Aston Villa tipped to join them in the drop.
