The Premier League has kicked off with a shocking result that is still making headlines in newspapers and websites all around the world as Manchester United, the team that went through a superb pre-season with victories against: Real Madrid, Liverpool, Valencia, Inter Milan and As.Roma.
Manchester United now leaded by Louis van Gaal enjoyed an undefeated pre-season with triumphs against the well-known clubs mentioned above faced a 2-1 defeat against Swansea City. That was the only real surprising outcome out of all the opening matches of the season in the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea cruised to a comfortable 3-1 victory against Burnley and this is what is expected from the team that is predicted to win the Premier League in this season.
According to bookmarkers and soccer betting websites such as: bet365, Chelsea are the heavy favorites of winning the league title this time around and this seems to be more logical outcome if you take into consideration the big name players that Jose Mourinho has at his disposal and their newest arrival Diego Costa who has made an immediate impact in Stamford Bridge as he scored a goal in Chelsea’s opening match of the season.
Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal is another club that are heavy favorites on making a genuine charge for the league title as the club signed reinforcements in the form of Alexis Sanchez, Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy.
Liverpool came in 2nd place in the previous season of the Premier League but this time around they aren’t expected or being backed to have such an impressive campaign after selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona. The odds of Liverpool winning the league in this season has significantly dropped for bookmarkers and punters ever since the Uruguayan attacker left Anfield.
The current champions of the Premier League, Manchester City along with Chelsea are the two favorites of securing the top spots of the English league and have the best odds according to soccer betting websites of lifting the prestigious silverware.
