Latest Premier League Updates
Liverpool missed a chance to extend their lead at the top of the table after Manchester United held them to a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
The Reds started slowly in the pelting rain, falling behind early in the second half before turning up the gears and taking the lead with a 70th-minute penalty. The live Premier League odds briefly shifted in Liverpool's favour before the Red Devils capitalised on a defensive error to level the game ten minutes later.
Title challengers Arsenal dropped points after a 1-1 draw against Brighton. The Gunners had the lead by the 16th minute, but the Seagulls fought back with a second-half equaliser, denying Arsenal the chance to reduce Liverpool's lead. An 'Outright' bet on Crystal Palace vs Chelsea would've been a push or loss for most because the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Manchester City claimed their first back-to-back league victories since October after thrashing West Ham 4-1 at Etihad Stadium. Third-place Nottingham, meanwhile, smashed a sorry Wolves side 3-0, securing their sixth straight league win.

- Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea
- Southampton 0-5 Brentford

Matchday 21 Predictions and Tips
Matchday 21 promises thrilling encounters, starting with Brentford hosting Manchester City at the Gtech Community Stadium. Despite Brentford's current strong form, City should continue their recent slight upturn in performances with a win. Chelsea's squad depth and home advantage may edge out Bournemouth before Liverpool faces Nottingham later in the day.
The Nottingham vs Liverpool odds indicate an easy win for Liverpool, but Forest's six consecutive wins suggest otherwise. It could be a high-scoring game that ends in a narrow Liverpool win. You might want to consider a bet on the Everton vs Aston Villa game to end in a low-scoring draw.
Arsenal are difficult to play against at the Emirates, and Tottenham don't have what it takes to serve them their first home league loss—the match should end in an easy win for the Gunners. The final game of the week will likely secure the Red Devils their first win in 5 league games, as they face last-place Southampton.
2023/24 Premier League Recap
Manchester City made it four on the spin last season, in historic fashion. Arsenal and Liverpool gave them a good run, which led to a memorable title race late in the campaign.
At the other end of the standings, things were no less competitive. Nottingham Forest and Brentford survived relegation and will remain in the Premier League this season. But Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United all dropped into the Championship.
Interesting Premier League Results
In recent years, there have been quite a few interesting results in the English first division. City lifted the trophy in 2024, making it their fourth consecutive win. The team became the first to achieve such a feat.
Another memorable result was the Arsenal and Aston Villa match on April 14th, 2024. The Gunners lost 2-0 during the run-in, which affected their chances of topping the table. This was a huge surprise, as many expected the North London side to win the game in their pursuit of their first EPL win since 2004.
There's also Liverpool's historic win against Manchester United in the 22/23 season. The match ended 7-0 in favour of the Reds, and the victory over their rivals marked one of United's heaviest defeats ever.

Premier League Betting Tips
Focussing on dependable Premier League betting strategies can significantly enhance your experience. Always do your research on teams before you make predictions. You should generally check the form, injuries, and head-to-head stats of recent games.
Factors like home advantage or fixture congestion can also alter the outcome of an EPL game. There is more at stake for a team battling relegation than for a mid-table team. Therefore, they could be viable candidates in the 'Double Chance' market.
Another important tip is to look beyond the obvious. Betting on favourites in the Premier League winner odds might seem safe, but backing the underdogs or going for trickier bets like 'Both Teams to Score' might come into play depending on the circumstances.
We also recommend using statistics wisely. Numbers are a great, unbiased indicator for football betting picks, especially in the EPL. A team's recent form often matters more than what they did six months ago. Consider the 'Over 2.5 Goals' or 'Team to Score First' markets if a club is on a goalscoring trend.
These tips can help you with the English Premier League odds, as well as when placing Europa League bets and other competitions.
Important 2024/25 Premier League Dates
The upcoming season will kick off on August 17th, 2024, and conclude on May 25th, 2025. This campaign is spread across 33 weekends, four midweek rounds, and one bank holiday match week. Key opening fixtures include Manchester United hosting Fulham on the first day, while defending champions Manchester City begin their defence against Chelsea on August 18th.
Notably, the London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham will take place on September 14th. On the same date in December, the two big teams in Manchester will face off.
Remember that clubs from the Premier League can qualify for various competitions in Europe and will depend on their position after the final match. Teams in the top four qualify for the Champions League, while the fifth position plays in the Europa League, and finally, the sixth team gets into the Conference League. Rest assured that you can bet on all these competitions at Betsafe. We provide markets for Champions League bets and other international competitions.
Promoted Premier League Teams
Three teams from the English second division are elevated to the EPL every football year. First and second automatically qualify, while third to sixth compete in the playoffs. Last season, Leicester won the Championship, with Ipswich Town being runners-up. So, both sides will compete in the main league as the new campaign starts.
Norwich, Leeds, West Brom, and Southampton battled it out in the playoffs for the last spot in this season's Premier League. Southampton eventually secured its top-flight status.
