This year sees the 26th season of the Premier League. The season kicked off on the 18th of August and it runs until the 13th of May in 2018, offering some of the worlds most exciting and strategic betting opportunities.

Chelsea took the trophy home last year and the League is joined by promoted teams from the EFL Championship, namely Newcastle United, Huddersfield Town and Brighton/Have Albion.

Chelsea is the current defending champions and have been putting in a good performance this season. They are currently getting 7/2 to 5/2 odds for retaining their hold on the Premiership Cup.

Manchester United have pretty good odds for lifting the Cup again, receiving 15/2 odds. Tottenham Hotspurs are a big favourite with 9/1 odds for a win. Most bookmakers give Arsenal and Liverpool pretty close odds, both receiving a 14/1 shot at the Cup.

For fans of long odds, Everton, Leicester City and Southampton are on offer at between 200 to 1 and 1000 to 1.
