Newcastle United 2024/25 Premier League top four chances – Bookies react after 5-0 Palace thrashing | OneFootball

Some interesting odds on Premier League top four (and other possibilities) for the 2024/25 season where Newcastle United are concerned.

With bookies taking stock after NUFC thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0.

That match was United’s game in hand and the victory coming after an overall very positive weekend of results in Newcastle United’s favour.

The bookies and punters reacting to how things now stand in the Premier League table (see below), as well of course, how they are now seeing the underlying strengths of the various teams and squads.

Listed below are the general Premier League odds now (morning of 17 April 2025) available from the various bookies for the 2024/25 season (in brackets are what the odds were after the very opening round of PL games):

Win the Premier League:

1/100 (13/2) Liverpool

125/1 (9/5) Arsenal

This is how the Premier League table looks today (Thursday 17 April 2025):

Premier League relegation:

Already relegated – Southampton

1/500  (1/2) Leicester

1/66 (10/11) Ipswich

33/1 (12/1) Man City

The bottom three also now looking all but a formality as well, all but inevitable that Leicester and Ipswich join Southampton in getting instant relegation after promotion.

If you are wondering about the Man City 33/1 odds of relegation, this is due to the possibility (probability?) of severe punishment from the 115 Premier League charges they face, which could include amongst other sanctions, points deduction or even relegation. Still waiting for the outcome of that case.

Finish Premier League top four:

Liverpool now guaranteed top four

1/100 (1/9) Arsenal

2/5 (9/4) Newcastle United

8/13 (1/7) Man City

7/4 (100/1) Forest

7/2 (9/4) Chelsea

9/1 (7/2) Villa

250/1 (66/1) Fulham

This is where, like me, I guess you will be giving most focus.

Can Newcastle United bounce back into the Premier League top four and get Champions League football?

Well, the bookies now have NUFC third most likely to finish top four.

With five Premier League wins in a row (six in all competitions), United the form team.

No wonder odds slashed to odds on 2/5 to make Premier League top four and with it now top five guaranteed Champions League football, United now in a great position to get over the line and return to the top European competition.

Newcastle now with the third best goal difference as well, improving it by +11 in the last three matches.
