20/1 for a Premier League team to score 10+ in a game

Fair warning, Southampton fans, the below may not be for you...

As we head into 2025, we've priced up a Premier League to score 10 goals in a game in the calendar year.

For a number of years now it's felt like the gap between the top and bottom clubs is widening. Last year, all three promoted clubs went back down with a whimper and the same may happen this time around.

Eight goals have been scored on eight occasions while nine has been clipped five times, and three of them came between 2019 and 2022.

Manchester United were the first to score nine when smashing Ipswich 9-0 in 1995, with Roy Keane and Paul Ince scoring once, Mark Hughes bagging a quick-fire double, and Andy Cole finding the net five times.

Tottenham were next in 2009 with Jermain Defoe equalling Cole's five-goal haul as they thumped a hapless Wigan 9-1. We had to wait nearly a decade for the next nine-goal effort, with Leicester being the first - and to date only - team to score nine away from home with Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy scoring hat-tricks at St Mary's with the hosts having Ryan Bertrand sent off after 12 minutes.

Not 18 months later and a Southampton goalkeeper was fishing the ball out of his net another nine times after Alexandre Jankewitz was sent off two minutes into his first and only Premier League start with Jan Bednarek also given his marching orders after scoring a first-half own goal.

Liverpool remain the most recent side to score nine when they hammered Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield, leading to the dismissal of Scott Parker three days later.
