Even though there are several more matches to go, we are more than halfway through the English Premier League 2023/2024 season. Similar to previous seasons, this one also has a lot to offer, and we are about to see which teams have the biggest chances of winning the trophy.
While on the topic of winning the EPL, we can see that some names are much closer to others. In fact, by analyzing Boylesports SA, one of the top-tier betting sites for South Africa, we can see that the odds for some teams clearly show they are the favorites. Some of the names you are about to see may surprise you, so let’s dive in.
Manchester City
Despite not leading the English Premier League Chart right now, Manchester City continues to be the big favorite to lift the trophy yet again. The best English football team won everything in 2023, and it will definitely want to repeat its performance.
Similar to last season, City had some problems early on. The team was behind Arsenal last season until the very end when it bounced back and won the trophy. At the time of writing, the team was 5 points away from the leaders, but City also had one less match.
Liverpool
Liverpool’s results in 2023 were not the best by any means, but it seems like the team is really motivated to win this year’s event. After 20 rounds in the EPL, Liverpool is leading the chart with 45 points and has a comfortable 2 points lead over the second on the list.
Although the odds for The Reds to win the EPL are not as good as those for the City, you can’t deny the fact that the team has a real chance of lifting the trophy. Having said that, it will be really hard for the squad to do that because there are 18 more matches to go. So far, Liverpool has only one loss, but it is yet to play against Manchester City.
Arsenal
Despite the fact that Arsenal had a fantastic start to the season, the team made a lot of mistakes in the last few rounds. Consequently, the team dropped from first place and is currently 4th. In fact, Arsenal has the same number of points as City, but the team has one extra game.
The Gunners really need to step up their game if they want to have a chance at winning the EPL. Making more mistakes will push Arsenal out of the top 4 and it will be really hard for the team to win.
Aston VIlla
No one thought that Aston Villa would be one of the challengers to win the most prestigious football competition in the world. However, the team is performing incredibly well after the first 20 rounds and is currently 2nd, just 3 points below Liverpool.
Some people believe that Villa will win the EPL in the same way as Leicester did a few years ago. The team has the chance to do that, but it will be hard because there are many more matches to go. In the end, it will probably all come down to the direct clash between Villa and the other title contenders.
