Premier League Odds 2023/24: Man City Still The Favourites Despite Losing Last Two

The current Premier League champions, Man City, are still propping up the outright betting market @ 8/11 with the best UK football betting sites despite suffering a mini blimp and losing their last two league matches.

City suffered a shock loss to Wolves on match week 7 and things didn’t get any better in their next Premier League game with a 1-0 away defeat to Arsenal. It was the first league win for the Gunners since 2015 and also the first time Blue Moon boss Pep Guardiola has tasted defeat against the North London club since being in charge.

The Arsenal defeat was also the first time City have lost two Premier League games in-a-row since December 2018 – when they were defeated to both Crystal Palace and Leicester City within 5 days.

However, despite this, the bookmakers are still making Man City the Premier League outright betting favourites to win their fourth title on the spin and their sixth since 2018.

Man City have now won 6 (and lost 2) of their opening 8 league games in 2023/24 and head into the international break on 18 points in third – just two off leaders Arsenal and Spurs.

No team has ever won the Premier League four times in-a-row, while next up for Man Ciy is a home match to Brighton on Saturday October 21st as they look to get their title defence back on-track.
