Betting insights
- Manchester United pulled off an upset over Manchester City in the FA Cup to close out its season and that probably saved Erik ten Hag’s job. He’s still on the hot seat, though, considering the Red Devils’ eighth-place finish was their worst since 1990.
- The post-Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool has a soft landing with an away game at recently promoted Ipswich Town. The Reds still have a stacked roster and are third in odds to win the Premiership behind Manchester City and Arsenal.
- The Gunners ended up trophyless for a fourth straight season despite finishing runner-up in each of the last two campaigns (no, we’re not counting Community Shields). That said, Arsenal is loaded with talent and poised to contend yet again.
- Tottenham had a solid first season under Ange Postecoglou but will be looking to take the next step by finishing inside the top four. Picking up a win on the road versus Leicester would be a good start. The Foxes were promoted back to the Premiership after being relegated in 2022-23.
