Newcastle 7/1 To Make Champions League

Last updated : 02 July 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Current holders Man Utd are favourites to hang onto the Premiership, with Arsenal the side dropping down the odds.

The Gunners are 10/1 now they have lost their star striker Henry to Barcelona, making them very much an outside bet.

We are out of contention, but Liverpool are still a long way off lifting their first Premiership title, if you believe the odds of 11/2.

Man Utd 6/4
Chelsea 11/8
Liverpool 11/2
Arsenal 10
Tottenham 80
Newcastle 200
Everton 250
Aston Villa 400

Can anyone break the "Top Four"? If anyone can, Spurs are favourites.

Tottenham (13/8), Newcastle (7/1), Aston Villa (9/1)

As for relegation, three stand out as what the bookies see as certainties ... and the Mackems WILL escape (or so the betting suggests): Derby (4/7), Birmingham (11/10), Wigan (11/8).

Unlike last year, when Glenn Roeder was seen as the first Premiership manager to get the chop, the Newcastle manager's job looks safe.
