Newcastle United 2024/25 Premier League top four chances – Bookies react after Brentford defeat | OneFootball

Some interesting odds on Premier League top four (and other possibilities) for the 2024/25 season where Newcastle United are concerned.

With bookies taking stock after the weekend results, including that NUFC defeat at Brentford.

A really poor second half seeing the game end Brentford 4 Newcastle 2.

That defeat coming in the fifteenth PL round of matches.

The bookies and punters reacting to how things now stand in the Premier League table (see below), as well of course, how they are now seeing the underlying strengths of the various teams and squads.

Listed below are the general Premier League odds now available from the various bookies for the 2024/25 season (in brackets are what the odds were after the opening round of PL games):

Win the Premier League:

4/6 (13/2) Liverpool

3/1 (9/5) Arsenal

7/1 (40/1) Chelsea

10/1 (11/8) Man City

500/1 (66/1) Aston Villa

750/1 (33/1) Tottenham

750/1 (28/1) Man U

750/1 (200/1) Brighton

1,000/1 (40/1 Newcastle United

So Newcastle United now rated ninth most ‘likely’.

At the very top, Liverpool remain very clear favourites, whilst Arsenal next most fancied and Man City now only fourth favourites at 10/1, with Chelsea now ahead of them.

This is how the Premier League table looks today (Tuesday 10 December 2024):

Premier League relegation:

1/10 (1/1) Southampton

2/5 (10/11) Ipswich

4/5  (1/2) Leicester

5/4 (7/2) Wolves

3/1 (5/2) Everton

7/1 (10/1) Palace

12/1 (12/1) Man City

22/1 (20/1) West Ham

66/1 (7/1) Brentford

100/1 (3/1) Forest

300/1 (11/2) Fulham

400/1 (7/1) Bournemouth

450/1 (40/1) Chelsea

500/1 (250/1) Tottenham

500/1 (250/1) Newcastle United

500/1 (250/1) Man U

750/1 (40/1) Brighton

1,000/1 (200/1) Villa

2,000/1 (2,000/1) Liverpool

2,000/1 (2,000/1) Arsenal

Eddie Howe’s team now seen as joint fifth least likely to go down in the 2024/25 season.

If you are wondering about the Man City 12/1 odds of relegation, this is due to the possibility (probability?) of severe punishment from the 115 Premier League charges they face, which could include amongst other sanctions, points deduction or even relegation. That case is ongoing.

Finish Premier League top four:

1/66 (1/2) Liverpool

1/33 (1/9) Arsenal

1/6 (9/4) Chelsea

1/3 (1/7) Man City

9/1 (7/2) Villa

10/1 (9/4) Tottenham

11/1 (11/1) Brighton

12/1 (9/4) Newcastle United

12/1 (2/1) Man U

28/1 (66/1) Bournemouth

40/1 (100/1) Forest

40/1 (66/1) Fulham

80/1 (66/1) Brentford

This is where, like me, I guess you will be giving most focus.

Can Newcastle United bounce back into the Premier League top four and get Champions League football?

Well, the bookies now have NUFC joint eighth most likely, after that defeat at Brentford.

The next two Premier League matches for Newcastle are against Leicester and Ipswich, can NUFC take advantage?
