After hiring former Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United is the fourth-most backed club to be relegated and the most backed team to win the Premier League in 2022/23.

Leeds, Brentford, Everton, and Southampton will join Manchester United in the relegation struggle, according to (presumably rival) fans' bets. While winner Manchester City and runner-up Liverpool will struggle to 8th and 6th.

Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, and Manchester United are the top four bets for next season's top four finish.

Fans also care about the Golden Boot, with Haaland tipped to win in his first season for Manchester City, followed by Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus, Liverpool's Darwin Nunez, and Tottenham's Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son.

Norwich and Burnley are favourites to return to the top flight of English football, leaving Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, Sunderland, and West Bromwich Albion to compete in the play-offs.

Remember that these are fan bets, with bet365 offering odds of 4/7 on Manchester City recovering their title, making it the favourite for the next season. Liverpool is second with odds of 2/1.

Early excitement is good, but fan betting is typically emotional rather than pragmatic, which is why Manchester United, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest are defying expectations.

Indeed, bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Nottingham Forest's return to the top flight is logical, but I never expected such a boom in interest in Steve Cooper's squad.

"We have more bets on the Tricky Trees winning the Premier League than Manchester City and Liverpool, and only Newcastle are above them in slippage to finish in the Top 4.
