The bookies have reacted to a busy weekend of Premier League football, where Newcastle United moved clear of certain European rivals and closed the gap to Man Utd following our vital 1-0 win at Fulham.
Newcastle’s odds (9/4) of securing a top-six finish have halved over the past 48 hours, as we not only gained two points on Man Utd – who we’re now just two points behind following their 2-2 draw with Liverpool – and also moved three clear of Chelsea after they conceded a 93rd-minute equaliser to Sheffield United on Sunday.
West Ham stayed above us on Saturday with a 2-1 win at Wolves, but the Hammers are priced at 28/1 for a top-six finish as they still have Liverpool (H), Man City (A) and Chelsea (A) to play and have played a game more than Newcastle. Brighton (28/1) are in a similar boat, with Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Aston Villa and a trip to St James’ Park to come.
Here’s the latest odds (via Sky Bet) for a top-six finish following the latest set of Premier League results:
Man Utd – 8/11 (1.73)
Newcastle – 9/4 (3.25)
Chelsea – 9/2 (5.50)
West Ham – 28/1 (29.00)
Brighton – 28/1 (29.00)
Bournemouth – 150/1 (151.00)
For context, these were the bookies’ top-six odds after Chelsea’s 4-3 win over Man Utd followed our frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Everton.
Man Utd – 4/6 (1.67)
Chelsea – 11/4 (3.75)
Newcastle – 5/1 (6.00)
Brighton – 16/1 (17.00)
West Ham – 50/1 (51.00)
Bournemouth – 50/1 (51.00)
Wolves – 100/1 (101.00)
