We have entered the final international break of 2018 – thank goodness for that.

Whilst the UEFA Nations League offering punters respite from mundane friendlies, there’s nothing quite like Premier League betting on a Saturday afternoon.

With the 2018/19 Premier League table starting to take shape, we look at a few of the main betting markets available with 888sport.

From top goal scorer odds to the Player of the Year award, let’s get down to the top outright Premier League markets.

Top Goal Scorer Betting

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is currently leading the Golden Boot charts with eight goals in 2018/19.

The Argentina man has scored in five of his previous seven league games and he is currently the 5/2 favourite with 888sport to finish as the top goal scorer.

However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eden Hazard are hot on his heels with seven goals each – and it would be foolish to write both players off just yet.

Aubameyang is a solid bet at 9/1 while Hazard is arguably the Premier League’s best player and he will see plenty of chances fall his way at Chelsea.

10/1 looks huge based on Hazard’s excursions so far this season. We will get back to the Belgian star later…

Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah, the two primary contenders for the top goal scorer award last season, have both notched six goals through 12 league games.

Kane tends to save his latter stages of the season though and he could be the main danger to Aguero.

Meanwhile, 2017/18 Golden Boot winner Salah is yet to get out of second gear but the Egypt man will take some stopping once he does.

Others to consider: Anthony Martial (33/1) has scored six goals in his last five games and he is an excellent price in Premier League top goal scorer odds.

At 40/1, Callum Wilson is a dark horse. The Bournemouth forward has been central to their attacking success this campaign and it would be foolish to write him off.

Finally, Marko Arnautovic is worth a speculative bet at 50/1. With West Ham starting to show signs of creativity in the final third, Arnautovic may be the main beneficiary.

 

Top Assists Odds

12 weeks into the 2018/19 season and the top assists leader is AFC Bournemouth star Ryan Fraser. The Cherries star has racked up six assists after a bright start to the campaign…

Currently 8/1 in 888sport’s top assists betting odds, Fraser is one of the first names on Eddie Howe’s team sheet and the Bournemouth man should be there or thereabouts.

Manchester City duo Benjamin Mendy and Raheem Sterling come next with five. The former started the season like a house on fire but his form has tailed off slightly in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Sterling continues to go from strength to strength. A regular under Pep Guardiola, the England man is the current favourite at 7/2.

11 players are stuck on four. The highest profile name on the list is Eden Hazard; Chelsea’s main man has been central to most of their attacking success this campaign.

At 6/1, he is well worth considering. Barring a serious injury, Hazard is going to play most of the 2018/19 Premier League season and he deserves to be in the conversation.

Jose Holebas (40/1) is a decent bet at a longer price. The Watford man is enjoying the best season of his career and the Hornets have been playing some superb football under Javi Gracia.

Available at the same odds is Johann Gudmundsson. The Burnley winger has been directly involved (two goals, four assists) in 50% of their Premier League goals in 2018/19.

 

Player Of The Year Award

This is starting to look like a two-horse race. Eden Hazard and David Silva have been sublime in 2018/19 and the PFA Player of the Year betting odds show both men at the top of the betting.

Hazard is the 2/1 favourite; and with good reason. The Belgian has been directly involved in 11 goals for Chelsea this season and he has been almost unplayable at times.

Maurizio Sarri’s side are still in the hunt for Premier League glory and Hazard’s form in the second half of the campaign will be key to their title aspirations.

David Silva is breathing down his neck at 5/2 though and the Spaniard is enjoying one of the best years of his career. In the absence of Kevin de Bruyne, Silva has stepped up to another level in 2018/19.

With four goals and two assists, he can’t quite match Hazard’s numbers but Silva has made Manchester City tick. He has been a joy to watch for City fans and neutrals alike.

At longer odds, Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk commands attention at 28/1. Now labelled as the best defender in the Premier League, he could feature prominently if the Reds lift the title.

Raheem Sterling deserves a token mention after his recent form. 25/1 could turn out to be a huge price if he continues to mature and dominate in the final third.

 

Young Player Of The Year Award

Sterling is 25/1 for the main award but the City winger is currently the 2/1 market leader with 888sport to claim the Young Player of the Year accolade.

The England star has improved considering under Pep Guardiola and he is still just 23 years old. Sterling will take some stopping in this particular category…

Fellow City winger Leroy Sane is also in the hunt at 8/1 but Everton midfielder Richarlison carries more appeal at the same price.

The Brazi youngster has adjusted quickly to life at Goodison Park after leaving Watford this summer and he has bagged six Premier League goals already in 2018/19.

James Maddison is blossoming into a household name and the Leicester City man will be an England regular in the near future. Watch this space…

Currently 12/1 for the young player accolade, Maddison could be set for a big money move to one of the Premier League’s top clubs if he continues to impress.
