By the way, your figures don't look real, 2.25 for Arsenal considering that Liverpool is leading? Well, maybe Arsenal is strong, yes, but where is the space for Liverpool and Chelsea with figures of 2.25 and 3?
I also took those numbers from sportsbet.io and they should be correct. The odds for Liverpool to win the title are now 5.
I think the reason why Arsenal are ahead of Liverpool in the list of teams with more better probability of winning the English Premier League title this season is because of their records in the past two seasons but what I do not understand is how Arsenal is given 2.5 odds while defending champions Manchester City is given 3 odds. I will not agree with bookmakers on this one because to me, I think Manchester City have more chances of winning the league than any other team in the league
The odds that has been provided with Arsenal over Liverpool may be linked with the performance that this team has pulled inning the last several seasons, and the notably stable team and young players. There’s been notable changes in arsenal, particularly the transformations within the league season which put arsenal among the most formidable teams of the season. However, the gap in odds between Arsenal and Manchester City may seem small though surprising given the performance of City over recent years.
Other considerations might include fixture lists, form, fatigue or sheer mental attitude and yet, by any means that you care to consider, there is still the sneaking feeling that Manchester City are the more likely team. This is especially due to the fact that City have it in terms of quality and this makes them the favourite most of the time. But as we all know in this world of betting many things go by statistics and at times what happens on the field is not what emerges on paper.
