bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Arsenal have finally ended years of being second best by securing the Premier League trophy. Our customers clearly believe that, much like London buses, you wait ages for one only for a second to follow; the Gunners are currently the most backed selection in the outright market."
23.4% of our bets on the outright Premier League winner market have been placed on Manchester City, who will be looking to end their two-year top-flight drought in their first season under Enzo Maresca.
Best backed teams to be relegated
Team | Percentage of Slips | Odds |
Hull City | 28.29% | 1/4 |
Ipswich Town | 15.81% | 4/6 |
Newcastle United | 13.13% | 20/1 |
Manchester City | 10.87% | 12/1 |
Sunderland | 5.71% | 11/4 |
Coventry City | 5.29% | 8/13 |
Hull City are priced at 1/4 to be relegated on their Premier League return, and they make up 28.29% of the bets placed on the market.
Newcastle United are the third most backed team to face the drop to the second tier for the first time since the 2015/16 campaign; this could be a consequence of another underwhelming summer transfer window, having already missed out on Victor Munoz, Johan Manzambi and James Trafford.
