The Premier League is one of the most popular leagues in world football and here at 888sport, we have a range of different markets associated with the league for you to bet on to make the action even more interesting. Here is a look at the different markets on our site and everything you need to know about the odds, terms and potential returns.

• Premier League Betting

Premier League Outright Betting

At the start of every season, 888sport have an outright market on who will win the Premier League title. Once the season begins, though, this market then continues to be updated after every round of fixtures.

This means that you can wait for as long as you like into the season before making your mind up about who you want to bet on for the title. If you are playing beforehand, though, and want to bet each-way, the place terms are 1-2 1/2.

Manchester City went into the 2017/18 season as the favourites to win the league at the end of the campaign, however, as we saw in the 2015/16 season, the bookmakers don’t always get the outright betting correct. Leicester were as big as 5000/1 to win the title that year, and, steered by manager Claudio Ranieri, ended up stunning the world.

Following a number of additions to their squad in the summer and after a fast start to their campaign, Manchester United are also one of the fancied sides in the betting for the title this season. Jose Mourinho has an excellent record in his second season at the football clubs he has managed and that is reflected in the betting, as United have only their neighbours and rivals City ahead of them.

Golden Boot Winner (Top Goalscorer)

With so many world class strikers now applying their trade in the Premier League, the goalscorer market is an exciting bet to place as with every goal scored by your player in the season, you can cheer even louder.

Harry Kane has been successful in each of the last two seasons in the top goalscorer market, with 25 and 29 goals to his name respectively. As a result, the Tottenham forward was once again the favourite to make it a hat-trick of Golden Boot trophies at the end of the 2017/18 campaign before the season began.

Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez all share the record for the most goals in a Premier League season, with 31, so Kane will have his eyes on breaking that record this season, which is likely to be enough to win this market if you have backed the Englishman.

New Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku has made a fast start to his campaign at Old Trafford and is also likely to have been popular in the Golden Boot betting. The former Everton man was only four goals behind Kane last season. He will be expected to be United’s leading talisman.

If you are having a bet on a player to win the Golden Boot trophy, it is always worth checking if they take penalties for their club. This will obviously help their total goals at the end of the season and if it is a new player to the Premier League from a foreign club, you might just be able to find a bit of value in this market.

Top Assists Market

888sport are one of the few firms to offer betting on who will top the assists chart at the end of the season. You can find stats online on which players are producing the most assists before placing your bet. Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the favourite to top the charts this season, while Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil and Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne are usually popular selections in the betting heat.

Relegation Betting

Three clubs will be relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season and with 888sport, you can bet on which club you think will end the campaign in the relegation zone.

Normally, the promoted clubs from the Championship are among the favourite in this market and that is the case in the 2017/18 relegation betting, where Brighton, Huddersfield and Newcastle are all near the top end of the betting. Like the outright market, relegation odds are updated throughout the season so you can wait a few games to assess each team before placing your bet.

888sport also offer a market on who will finish bottom of the Premier League table. If you have a strong view on a team and you think will struggle more than any other club, this is a good market as the odds will be much bigger for them to end the campaign rock bottom than they would be just to be relegated.

PFA Player of the Year

The PFA Player of the Year Award is given to the player which has stood out the most each season and is awarded by a panel assembled by the sponsors of the league.

In the 2016/17 campaign, N’Golo Kante was recognised for his performances for the champions Chelsea following his move from Leicester. The Frenchman was excellent in front of the Blues’ back three and a key part of their success.

Some of the names at the top of the betting for this year’s award include Lukaku, Paul Pogba, De Bruyne and Eden Hazard.

PFA Young Player of the Year

Betting is also available on who will scoop the PFA Young Player of the Year this season. Tottenham’s Dele Alli is the favourite in this market, however, he could face stern competition from Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus, Marcus Rashford of Manchester United and German international Leroy Sane, which is reflected in the betting as it is a tight market.

Just like the PFA Player of the Year, the betting will be updated throughout the season, depending on how well the youngsters are performing for their respective clubs.

First Premier League Manager to Leave

It is unlikely to take long for the first managerial casualty of the 2017/18 Premier League season to be announced, such is the pressure on the shoulders of the 20 managers in the league. During the summer, Rafa Benitez was the favourite in the market as there have been rumours that the Newcastle manager is unhappy that he has not been backed enough in the transfer window.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is also one of the early frontrunners in the sack race as West Ham have made a slow start to the campaign, while they were expected to finish a lot higher than they did last season, therefore, Bilic has to deliver this year.

Once the first manager is sacked or walks from his position, the market then turns into the ‘next Premier League manager to leave’, where updated odds will be published. This process continues throughout the season. If you like these managerial markets, look out for the betting on who will become the club’s new manager once a sacking has been made.

Best London Team

This is a market offered by 888sport where you can bet on who you think will finish highest in the Premier League this season out of the six London-based clubs. You are effectively reducing the number of teams in the league by excluding all the clubs outside of London. Defending champions Chelsea are the favourites in this market, while Arsenal and Tottenham are not too far behind.

If you are betting on the Premier League this season, good luck with your bets and check the latest prices on all of 888sport’s market following every round of fixtures.

Clear your schedule; you won’t want to miss Super Sunday this weekend. Starting with Real Madrid’s conquerors Tottenham Hotspur at home to Crystal Palace, football fans should be prepared for one of the biggest Sunday’s of the Premier League season. Later, Manchester City will host Arsenal before Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United travel to Stamford Bridge for what may be a fiery affair at Stamford Bridge.

• Premier League Betting Odds

So without further ado, let’s get stuck into some of the top tips and betting advice ahead of the weekend. With it being Bonfire night, will we 'remember remember, the 5th of November' or is it going to be a damp squib? Check out my thoughts on the action below...

TOTTENHAM vs Crystal Palace

Spurs fans were in dreamland on Wednesday night – Mauricio Pochettino’s men ran out 3-1 winners against 12-time European Cup champions Real Madrid. On their day, Tottenham are capable of slugging it out with the best teams in the business but the hosts must be wary of complacency.

Assuming that Palace will roll over and encourage Spurs to tally up a cricket score would be foolish to say the least; the visitors will be tough to beat. Spurs will be riding high on Wednesday's win but they cannot afford to take the Eagles lightly.

Roy Hodgson has failed to inspire confidence during his brief Palace tenure but there have been some positive signs for Eagles supporters. Victory over Chelsea in October gave fans a much-needed confidence boost but the 4-1 defeat to Championship side Bristol City in the Carabao Cup shattered all momentum.

It is hard to see Palace getting anything here if Spurs bring their A-game; the 5/4 for a Tottenham win and clean sheet represents solid value.

TIP: Spurs to win to nil @ 5/4

MANCHESTER CITY vs Arsenal

Pep Guardiola’s side are starting to look unbeatable. It may be a little early to compare City to Arsenal’s “Invincibles” side just yet but the Blues are certainly a class above their rivals in terms of talent, guile and desire.

With so much attacking talent on display, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see City rack up plenty of goals. Prior to last month’s goalless Carabao Cup clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, City had bagged 19 goals in their previous five home games...

A positive result here could act as the catalyst for Arsenal to go on and rebuild their season after a sub-par start to the campaign. Yes, they are still well in contention for the Champions League spots but defeat in this fixture would see the Gunners drop even further behind City in the title race.

Arsenal are worth considering given City’s perceived aura of invincibility – the Blues will go through a difficult patch at some stage this season. It won’t be here though, the 13/10 for a City win with goals at both ends of the pitch is my best bet of this encounter.

TIP: Man City to win and both teams to score @ 13/10

CHELSEA vs MANCHESTER UNITED

And then in the final game of Super Sunday, we have the big one. Jose Mourinho, Chelsea through and through for so long, will take his Manchester United side down to Stamford Bridge for what could be a fiery encounter.

Antonio Conte’s side have struggled to inspire confidence so far this campaign and supporters will be nervy after Chelsea conceded three goals away at Roma earlier this week – hardly an assured defensive performance and very uncharacteristic of the Blues side that won the Premier League title last year.

United know that defeat is not an option here; Mourinho won’t stand for it. The Red Devils were humiliated 4-0 in the corresponding fixture last term and Chelsea fans were quick to jump on Jose’s back.

A win here, especially with Paul Pogba side-lined, would send out a statement of intent to United’s title rivals, especially those “noisy neighbours” at the Etihad Stadium. Their record at Stamford Bridge isn’t great though and the draw looks well priced at 43/20 given Mourinho’s hesitant approach in the big games.                           

TIP: Match to be drawn @ 43/20

Every October a team is appointed champions elect. Often a rash, reactionary naming after a tidal wave of early season hype, it seems to – more often than not – prove to be a foolish misjudgement based on results and short-term form.

• Premier League Betting Odds

It has happened prematurely to most of the top six clubs on one occasion or another. Manchester City have suffered the cursed fate before, and this year are having their name engraved in the trophy by some before Halloween has even passed.

11 matches into the 2017/18 Premier League season, Pep Guardiola’s side are on course to break every imaginable record. The swooning at their otherworldly football is justified. With 31 points, 38 goals scored, and only seven conceded, the two-time Premier League winners are winning with a panache we rarely see in England.

Pressure For Early Favourites

City were pre-season favourites for many, but the question that haunted their credentials was how their defence would cope. And, more specifically, how it would cope in the absence of Vincent Kompany. Until Stoke had the audacity to nick a couple of goals in their 7-2 drubbing last month, Guardiola’s team had let in just two, with Kompany having appeared in only three matches.

Sergio Aguero’s fitness has been similarly depended on at the Etihad Stadium since he arrived in 2011. The Argentine’s absence has been hardly noticed thanks, in part, to the form – and sensational talent – of Gabriel Jesus. Ex-Liverpool midfielder and pundit Danny Murphy noted Jesus as the best young talent he’s seen since Lionel Messi. Praise indeed...

A few can stake a claim to that title, but the 20-year-old Brazilian is certainly in the Premier League Golden Boot discussion and he will be quietly confident of adding to his tally of seven in the near future.

City have been scoring goals for fun this season. Their attack has everything, from the pace of Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling, the guile of David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne, to the lethal finishing of Aguero and Jesus. Now paired with a seemingly secure defence, City are a complete team. Their goalkeeping crisis has even been nullified with the arrival of the calm Ederson.

Goals rarely tell the whole tale, but City’s ruthlessness offensively can elevate them beyond domestic football. Their defence can afford a relapse with their current attacking form, and, even then, their ability to dominate possession gives their backline protection.

Where their Premier League contemporaries will become frustrated, City never suffer from a creative block. Ideas flow between their midfield and their attack, as they move like one entity, picking holes in their opponent at will.

Champions Swept Aside

Chelsea tried absorbing all of City’s play, and there’s arguably no Premier League team set up better to do so. Antonio Conte’s side limited their chances, but could not get enough of the ball to even momentarily panic John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi.

Guardiola has the five-star luxury of depth, especially in the final third. Should any team be able to limit their relentless chance creation, the vast quality will produce a moment of individual brilliance, just as De Bruyne did at Stamford Bridge.

Teams often have a whiff of invincibility early in the year. Guardiola’s team are one of the first to pose a significant threat to Arsenal’s USP, though. No Premier League squad has ever had this amount of quality in the attacking third, and the defence is solid even without Kompany and Benjamin Mendy.

City have deserved the plaudits. It could all come to a thunderous halt, but the performances thus far are as good as I can remember in the Premier League. Teams are not just being beaten, they are being dismantled. Kevin de Bruyne, almost a shoo-in to record more assists than any of his Premier League peers this season, almost single-handedly put Stoke to the sword in City's demolition job last month.

An unbeaten season has become a holy grail, and it is probably far too great an ask, though reasonable to suggest as a possibility. To say it is already City’s to lose, however, is no exaggeration. Their lead is up to eight points already and they are playing majestic football bordering on the unstoppable.

As Good As Anyone

October hyperbole has frequently been greeted with a hindsight giggle. Of all the early season fliers, though, Manchester City are the best we have seen. There might be a lengthy code to solve the puzzle opposition managers are faced with, but no manager has come close to toppling City in the first couple of months.

The once-overshadowed neighbours are the noisiest of all right now, and so they should be. City are playing joyous, jaw-dropping football. In De Bruyne they have perhaps the world’s best midfielder, and in the dugout they have a man whose place in footballing history is already cemented.

Guardiola has us watching in awe. The Spaniard has the talent at his disposal, but his brilliance is in how that talent is utilised and the spectacle it produces.

Trophies seem an inevitability for City this season. It’s simply a case of which ones. The longer this all-conquering, goal-heavy football continues, the higher the chance of a truly historic season becomes.

If ever the sweeping, autumnal, headline statements are deserved, it is for this Manchester City team.
