Premier League challengers next season?

Bookies odds
Man City 8-13
Liverpool 5-1
Man Utd 13-2
Chelsea 10-1
Spurs 12-1
Arsenal 25-1
250-1 bar

I wouldn’t be backing Liverpool at those short odds
While they may have the measure of City at Anfield,and have had for many years and as well as they have played this season they will still fall short of the points they accrued last season,with less wins.
Keita coming in should make a difference as has Van Dijk but they will still have an enormous points deficit to make up,even if City drop off 10 % next season

Similarly with Utd,can’t see the players coming in over the summer to invigorate them into a championship winning side,it’s far too unbalanced as a squad and the 2nd place finish I think flatters them as they are far from the 2nd best side in the country,once again the keeper is by far their best player which is telling
At 13-2 not for me

Chelsea would be the punt for me @ 10-1
If the new manager can get a togetherness back they will be really tough to beat,they already have a decent defence,top class DM in Kanye and plenty of match winners,so a couple of quality additions will see them right in the mix

Spurs @ 12-1 would just be a ridiculous bet they should be 25-1 with Arsenal. Both will have overachieved if they finish in the top 4

Why would somebody be offside if they were on when a team mate played it but off when it deflected off an opposition player? That’d contradict everything the offside rule is about.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps I'm wrong. If I am I think the rule should be changed. The attacker should not gain an advantage by being in an offside position.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps?!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've just thought of the scenario and replaced the opponent with the post and I would definitely consider it onside if it came off the post. So yes, I'm wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally! Fair play though.

I still think you were wumming for most of it though...

No value in Chelsea at those odds with them being in the Europa league. Not unless they recall some of those 48 players on loan.
