Before the season started, Manchester City were the heavy favourites to repeat as Premier League champions for the fourth straight season, and the most serious challenge could once again come from Arsenal, according to most sportsbooks.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle United were deemed the most likely to press that duo, with Chelsea the only one in the group that does not have to worry about European cup competitions after failing to qualify last season.

The big news in 2023/24 is that there’s a scenario in which the Premier League could see the top five teams all qualify for the UEFA Champions League if England finishes as one of the top two performing nations in European club cup competitions.
If the FA Cup winner or Carabao Cup winner finish in the top four, the European cup berth that accompanies that title would go to the next team in the Premier League standings not already qualified for Europe.

According to the sportsbooks prior to the start of the season, there were eight teams that stood out as candidates to finish in the bottom three places and suffer relegation down to the English second-tier Championship.
Luton Town, who were the last team to win promotion to the Premier League via last season’s Championship playoff final, were the team deemed most likely to finish in the bottom three.
Fellow promoted side Sheffield United were not too far behind, while the third promoted club, Burnley, were tipped to survive based on their longer preseason odds.
Meanwhile, supporters of Everton, Wolves, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest were projected to be in for another nail-biting season.
Odds below as of August 10, 2023, prior to the start of the Premier League season.
