English Premier League 2019-20 Preview with 22BET

The Premier League finally returns, and a long nine months of ups and downs will begin. Seeing how the previous season concluded, EPL 2019 will surely have a lot of drama in store for us. That’s why the new UK sports betting site 22BET offers a preview on the upcoming season.

The current champions Manchester City will be hoping to equal the most consecutive titles by winning three on the bounce, but they will be faced with a renewed challenge from Liverpool. 

Meanwhile, the other top six clubs could also provide fresh competition. The battle to avoid relegation will be another intriguing battle between a host of clubs. The greatest league in the world is back, and there are so many questions that we can’t wait to find out the answers to.

EPL Champions Odds

The favourites to win the Premier League 2019/20 are Manchester City who are currently 1.66. Pep Guardiola has strengthened his side with the arrival of Rodri from Atletico Madrid for a club-record fee. However, they have lost Vincent Kompany who departed the club to take up a coaching position at Anderlecht. The central defender’s departure will mean that the Citizens will have to adjust to life without their long-serving captain. 

Liverpool will likely pose the biggest threat, and they are next in the 22BET odds as they are priced at 3.25.

The Reds haven’t strengthened over the summer, and Jurgen Klopp has been critical of the talk surrounding the transfer market throughout the off-season. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane will again be their forward line, but it will be interesting to see how they adjust to life back in the Premier League after having a reduced break to the rest of the players in the division. 

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to improve on last season’s finish and will have a fully fit Harry Kane to lead their line. The Englishman is the 5.50 favourite with 22BET to finish the season as the top scorer, and should Spurs have any ambitions of winning the league then they will need to have a big season from their talisman.

Top Four

The remaining big six will likely be competing for one spot in the top four, and a place in the following seasons Champions League. United are the narrow favourites at 2.10, while Arsenal and Chelsea are priced at 2.25. United missed out on the top four last season after conceding more goals than ever before in the top flight. 

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be hoping that Frank Lampard enjoys an excellent first season at the club by bringing through their talented youngsters. Arsenal could boast a forward line of Nicolas Pepe, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, but there are still worries defensively for the Gunners.

Premier League Relegation

No club will want to be relegated from the Premier League, and for the first time in a long time, there are a host of sides that could be anxious to get themselves away from the bottom three spots. 

The newly-promoted duo of Sheffield United and Norwich are the favourites for the drop with 22BET, while Burnley are the 2.75 third favourites to join them. Newly promoted Aston Villa are expected to survive, but there are worries surrounding long-standing Premier League sides Crystal Palace and Newcastle United. 

Brighton are also among the favourites after finishing two points ahead of 18th-placed Cardiff City last season. The relegation battle will be an intriguing fight, and it will likely go down to the final seconds of the season.
