Favorite to win the Premier League
Manchester City (-700)
City were gifted a path to the title on May 7, when Liverpool dropped points in a draw against Spurs at Anfield. However, Liverpool haven't done so since, while City returned the favor over the weekend as they drew with West Ham. As a result, the title will be decided on the final day with Man City a point ahead of Liverpool and holding a superior goal difference.
Liverpool (+500)
It may be 2022 but Liverpool need Steven Gerrard to come to their rescue yet again. The legendary former captain will lead his Aston Villa against Man City on the final day, while Liverpool will face Wolves. With City holding a six-goal edge in GD, finishing level on points won't be enough — to wrestle the title back, the Reds need to jump City.

Understanding EPL betting odds
EPL futures odds are constantly adjusted throughout the offseason due to player transfers and injuries. Once the season begins, title odds will change as teams win and lose games and as more players get hurt or suspended. Sportsbooks will also adjust EPL odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.
EPL futures odds will usually look like this:
- Manchester United +350
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $350 if Manchester City wins the EPL Championship. If it's close to the end of the competition, or a club has been particularly dominant, you might see them with a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds.
- Liverpool -500
This means that you would need to bet $500 to win just $100 on a Liverpool championship.
