Footy fans can rejoice a little earlier this August as the club season returns on 5 August with the start of a new season in the English Premier League. It also means less time than normal for bettors to place Premier League futures bets in the Outrights market as the season starts earlier to accommodate the Autumn World Cup in Qatar.
Running out of time to place your Premier League futures for the 2022/23 football season? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with some tasty predictions throughout the week to ensure anyone looking to gamble responsibly won’t miss out on the action.
Today we look at an interesting market, the league winners market (excluding Manchester City), which offers some value for those who think a new club could outperform City’s main rivals at Liverpool and break up the current Premier League duopoly can.
Those confident of Liverpool finishing in the top 2 or winning the league can bet in this market at odds of around -225. A safe investment for a small return for those who want to put their money in the hands of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is said to be the second favorite for the league title.
However, for those looking for a juicier return than LFC’s short price tag to win the league or finish runners-up behind City, there’s another club to consider that could make the leap to trophy contenders this season wants to create.
Tottenham’s best runners-up Longshot
Tottenham Hotspur, listed at BetMGM as the second favorite in the market at +550 odds, appear to be the club most likely to overtake City or Liverpool this season. With Antonio Conte a proven winner in the managerial role, Spurs supporters need to feel good to build on an encouraging finish to last season, in which they beat their north London derby rivals Arsenal to a fourth-place finish and qualifying for the Champions League surpassed .
Now Spurs will tackle the next steps to achieve their goal of finally winning a trophy to climb up the English football hierarchy. A realistic goal for a club that finished last season on high and took on all the newcomers.
The choice: Tottenham is second (+550)
Improved Depth in North London
To bolster their chances of building on last season, Spurs owner Daniel Levy made some significant investments to increase squad depth at Tottenham. Brazilian striker Richarlison arrives from Everton to relieve Harry Kane and Son Heung-min of some work, while prolific Bundesliga and Serie A winner Ivan Perisic arrives from Inter Milan to reunite with Conte and provide a proven lead take over.
Spurs also strengthened their midfield with Yves Bissouma as well as the CB position with the loan of Barca’s Clement Lenglet. These additions will help Spurs’ hopes of further promotion up the table. Especially when you consider that the roster depth and injuries of the likes of Kane and Son have provided a wrench in previous seasons in which they could potentially have accomplished more.
big game spurs
An improved squad aside, another reason to feel comfortable about Spurs’ chances of climbing this season in Premier League futures markets is their pedigree against the two clubs chasing them for the league title. Last season, Spurs went unbeaten against City and Liverpool and were the only club that seemed to reach the highest level of the top two clubs in the EPL.
In fact, Spurs have beaten the vaunted city on two separate occasions in the past year. A good omen for a club that needs to get as many points as possible from the big clubs if they want to push the title.
Consistency against the ‘smaller’ clubs in the Premier League is required and should go hand in hand with the extra depth of squad mentioned above. However, to be the man you have to beat the man and Spurs have their best track record in recent memory of taking points straight from the hands of Man City and Liverpool.

Last word
Spurs supporters have been waiting for it to be ‘their year’ for some time and it feels like half a decade has been waiting for the north London club to take the next step after a previously encouraging season. But if there’s one year Spurs will strike fear into the awaited Premier League title contenders, it will be this.
Spurs may not win the league title over the City powerhouse that Erling Haaland just added, but I love their chances of surpassing Liverpool en route to a season of hope to keep pressure on Manchester until the final day of the season. Back Spurs +550 is at least the second best club in the Prem behind City Dynasty.
