Upcoming Premier League Fixtures & Odds
Premier League Structure
Running from around mid-August each year until mid-to-late May, the Premier League features 20 teams who all play each other twice over the season, once at home and once away for a total of 38 games. Teams are awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a defeat.
All points are entered into a league table format and, at the end of the season, the team with the most points are crowned champions. At the other end of the table, the three teams with the least points are relegated into the second tier of English Football – the EFL Championship.
In the case of a team being level on points, whichever side possesses the best goal difference — calculated by subtracting goals conceded from goals scored — finishes higher. In the rare case that two teams are tied for points and goal difference, goals scored are used as a tiebreaker.
There are two transfer windows in the Premier League — one in summer and one in the month of January, where teams are able to buy and sell players to other clubs both in England and the rest of the world. Naturally, bookies will always have markets available for transfer window Premier League betting.
The top four highest finishing teams in each Premier League season will advance into the following season’s Champions League, while the three subsequent teams will move on to the Europa League. However, it is possible for the team that finishes seventh to lose their place. If the FA Cup or League Cup winners are not already in Europe, then this place goes to them instead.

Premier League Betting – 2022/23 Predictions
Our football experts have conducted extensive research and put together their predictions for the 2022/23 Premier League below.
- Manchester City 2022/23 Predictions
- Manchester City 2022/23 Predictions
The champions are hunting for their third consecutive Premier League crown and their fifth under Pep Guardiola in 2022/23.
Their summer window began with the generational striker talent Erling Haaland joining the club, but there’s no denying that the departures of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus will change the way they operate in the final third.
Pep Guardiola’s dynamics will have to alter, and there’s a possibility that we see the Cityzens endure a minor slide next season. It’ll be tough to replicate the highs of 2021/22, even with Haaland signing.
They’ll most certainly be in the title fight and are rightly the favourites to retain their crown. But will they be able to reach 90+ points again? We’re not so sure.
- Liverpool 2022/23 Predictions
- Liverpool 2022/23 Predictions
Similarly, it’ll be incredibly tough for Liverpool to mount the sort of challenge they did last season. Sadio Mane’s exit is a huge blow, even if it was mitigated by the big-money arrival of Darwin Nunez, while the club’s lack of refreshment in midfield is slightly worrying.
Could we see the Reds stagnate next season?
To be fair, stagnation may be the wrong word, but we’re expecting the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham to run City and Liverpool closer in 2022/23.
- Chelsea 2022/23 Predictions
- Chelsea 2022/23 Predictions
A tumultuous period for Chelsea looks to have been stabilised, thanks to new owner and interim sporting director Todd Boehly. The Blues are free-spending once again, with the business they’ve conducted/will conduct hugely exciting. Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling are stellar acquisitions.
Should Chelsea also sign Nathan Ake from City and Presnel Kimpembe from PSG, then their defence will once again be in a very good place following the exits of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. Rudiger is a huge loss, though, and any player will find it tough to replicate the German’s efficacy in Thomas Tuchel’s back three. Tuchel is also currently reliant on a 37-year-old Thiago Silva to stay fit for the majority of the season, but many are expecting a switch to a back four for the upcoming campaign.
Overall, the departure of Romelu Lukaku should see the Blues become more fluid in attack with goals set to be shared around. The return of Ben Chilwell is huge for Tuchel, but they’re probably an elite midfielder (N’Golo Kante two/three years ago, or Declan Rice) short of competing with City and Liverpool. Thus, we expect them to be competing for third spot.
- Tottenham 2022/23 Predictions
- Tottenham 2022/23 Predictions
Tottenham are favoured ahead of Chelsea by some bookies to compete with last season’s imperious top two. Antonio Conte has many believing that the Lilywhites could forge a title challenge in 2022/23.
Daniel Levy has loosened the purse strings for the demanding Italian coach and sporting director Fabio Paratici has so far delivered in the market. Yves Bissouma and Ivan Perisic will be key for Conte next season, while Richarlison is the alternative forward option Spurs have required for years.
Their work this summer, combined with Conte’s genius and Harry Kane’s telepathy with Son Heung-min, means they should improve on last season’s points tally and fourth-place finish.
However, a deep title charge may not yet be in their reach.
- Arsenal 2022/23 Predictions
- Arsenal 2022/23 Predictions
Following 18 months of indifference, it finally felt as if the Mikel Arteta project finally got underway at the Emirates last season.
Arteta’s young Gunners were joyous to watch at times; however, in the end, immaturity, injuries and inexperience cost them a place in next season’s Champions League. They were pipped to the post by bitter rivals Spurs, but many will favour them to go all the way in the Europa League.
Arsenal are on an upward trajectory, but they have their work cut out if they’re to improve on last season’s fifth-place finish considering the improvements of their rivals.
Nevertheless, they’ve conducted impressive business of their own with Gabriel Jesus arriving from City. The Brazilian could transform Arsenal’s attack, but further upgrades are required in other areas of the pitch if they’re to compete with the likes of Chelsea, Spurs, and United.
For now, a fifth- or sixth-place finish appears likely, but that projection will change if they add a versatile defender, technically proficient midfielder and high-output winger to their ranks before the end of the transfer window.
- Manchester United 2022/23 Predictions
- Manchester United 2022/23 Predictions
Erik ten Hag has taken on the daunting task of coaching the poisoned chalice that is Manchester United. The former Ajax boss must oversee a culture shift from the top down to ensure the Red Devils return to where every supporter believes they belong.
They’ve certainly got the talent, and now they’ve got the manager to return them to the promised land. But it’ll take time.
To suggest that they could compete for the title next season would be outlandish, considering how poor they were in 2021/22. However, should Ten Hag succeed in inculcating his progressive principles onto a talented group of players, there’s no reason why they can’t make a serious push for a top-four spot.
A top-class holding-midfielder is still required, however, and their backline is somewhat of a worry. Another goalscorer could also be on the agenda this summer should Cristiano Ronaldo depart – a move that might actually benefit Ten Hag.
- Premier League 2022/23 Relegation Predictions
- Premier League 2022/23 Relegation Predictions
Unsurprisingly, the three newly promoted sides are favoured by the bookies to go straight back down. However, Fulham and Nottingham Forest’s rather shrewd work in the transfer market thus far has given both sides a shot of staying up.
Fulham have seemingly learnt from previous errors and haven’t gone crazy this summer, while Taiwo Awoniyi and Moussa Niakhate are excellent additions for Forest at both ends of the pitch. Steve Cooper is also an excellent coach who’ll give his side the best shot at survival. Bournemouth, though, are destined for the drop. They won’t score enough goals.
Among last season’s Premier League incumbents, Leeds and Brentford are particularly at risk of succumbing to the Championship. While Leeds have been busy, the departures of the irreplaceable Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips could prove fatal.
Brentford, meanwhile, were in free fall before Christian Eriksen arrived last season. Thomas Frank won’t be able to call upon the Dane next term, and the Bees could struggle as a result.
Everton risk getting dragged into the dogfight again, while Wolves could be a longshot for the drop. Southampton have bought well this summer and they should have enough to retain their status in the top-flight.
Premier League Stats To Look Out for
One thing that the best providers of Premier League betting tips have in common is that they all use extensive statistical analysis to aid their predictions.
Over the past few years, there has been a significant spike in the amount of sophisticated football stats freely available to the public. FBref and Sofascore, for example, are great resources for finding all the facts and figures you need to know about the Premier League.
As well as all of the traditional metrics such as goals, clean sheets and possession, more advanced stats such as expected goals (what means Xg?), pressures and goalkeeper save percentage can now be tracked easily. Using these more complex numbers can really give you an edge when predicting how Premier League matches might turn out.
Football statistics can also be useful for tracking individual players' performance. For instance, if you are trying to select who might finish as the league’s top scorer, you should not just look at how many goals they scored. You should also check out their xG, goals per shot on target and shot conversion rate as well.
In addition, do not forget to consult the our Profit and Loss rankings before placing your bets. These are updated after each Premier League gameweek and can give you some extra, useful insights. Additionally, KickForm — our in-depth stats centre — is also freely available for all of our readers to enjoy.
Best Premier League Betting Offers
Premier League betting is very popular, with many bookmakers tailoring their promotions accordingly. Here are some of the EPL offers you can expect to see from sportsbooks all season long.
Free Bets
One of the most common Premier League betting sign-up offers is a free bet bonus. After you complete your registration, many betting sites will reward you with some betting credit. In some cases, this will come with no strings attached. Generally speaking, though, you will need to make a qualifying bet first.
Deposit Bonuses
Another popular Premier League betting offer is a first deposit bonus. If a sportsbook is offering this promotion, your very first payment will be eligible for a percentage boost. For example, if an operator is offering a 100% bonus and you deposit £20, you will have £40 to bet with in total. Always make sure to check out any wagering requirements before activating the offer.
Big Game Offers
As well as these sign-up offers, high-profile Premier League games will occasionally attract one-off special promotions. These usually come in the form of in-play free bets, although deposit boosts and enhanced odds are also fairly common. The only catch is that your bonus must be used on a specified market.
Popular Premier League Betting Markets
As the most watched football division on the planet, you will not be surprised to learn that bookmakers offer deep and varied Premier League betting markets.
- To Win Outright
- To Win Outright
This market is simple. All you need to do is select which team will lift the Premier League trophy at the end of the season. While many Premier League bettors prefer to place their wager at the beginning of the term, there is also value to be found once the title race gets underway.

- Top Goalscorer

The race for the Premier League Golden Boot is always one of the most fascinating subplots of the season. Using statistical analysis, which takes things such as xG, shots per game, shots on target and conversion rate into account, can be extremely useful in aiding your selection for this one.

- To Be Relegated
- To Be Relegated
The battle to beat the drop in the Premier League undergoes hundreds of twists and turns over the course of the campaign. New signings, managerial changes and team fixtures can all affect a relegation-threatened team's chances, so pay close attention to all of this before placing any Premier League bet, especially when betting on who could end up in the EFL Championship next year.

- Next Manager to Leave Post
- Next Manager to Leave Post
Few professions have less job security than Premier League management. Clubs — particularly those at the bottom of the table — tend to be extremely impatient, with managers dropping like flies throughout the year. Knowing which sides have particularly trigger-happy owners is important when wagering on this Premier League betting market.

- To Win PFA Player of the Year
- To Win PFA Player of the Year
At the end of every season, the PFA Player of the Year is crowned. This can be a tricky Premier League betting market to find value on, as there is normally a standout favourite. Because of this, it is best to place your wagers towards the beginning of the season, if possible.

Premier League Accumulators
Premier League accumulators are hugely popular, with thousands of punters placing these kinds of bets every weekend. Accumulators consist of loads of small wagers which multiply to create higher odds.
The advantages of Premier League accumulators is that they offer big winnings – if successful, that is. On the flip side, it only takes one wrong result to bust your entire coupon. In a division as unpredictable as the EPL, this presents a high risk. Despite this, though, accumulators remain a hugely popular way for players to bet on the Premier League.
Premier League In-Play Betting
As well as all of the above pre-match markets, Premier League betting also includes great in-play options. Here are some of the best ways to bet in-play on EPL games.
- Next Team to Score
- Next Team to Score
With this Premier League bet, you are trying to predict which team will grab the next goal. Odds on this can be affected by several factors, including the momentum of the game, whether one team has had a man sent off, and much more. This is a great market if you are watching the game live, as it is much easier to keep track of all this than if you are just following the commentary.
- Number of Corners
- Number of Corners
This market has gained popularity recently. Essentially, you are trying to predict if a team will get above or below a certain amount of corners. If you are feeling brave, there is also the option to bet on the exact number of corners a side has.
- Next Goalscorer
- Next Goalscorer
This is one of the most popular in-play Premier League betting markets. Here, you are wagering on which team will score next, or even which player will score the next goal in a game. Predicting the latter is much harder, but it will also come with far better odds. Don’t forget that you can always choose ‘No Next Goalscorer’, if that is the way you see things going.
- Exact Scoreline
- Exact Scoreline
For this market, players are challenged to bet on what the exact scoreline will be. Again, statistics can be helpful for bets like these. For instance, if a team has a good record for scoring in the final 15 minutes, you should account for this in your decision-making process.
- Player to Be Carded
- Player to Be Carded
Tempers can often flare up in Premier League matches, with yellow or red cards frequently handed out. If you notice that a certain player is looking particularly riled up, it could be worth wagering on him going into the referee’s notebook.
Premier League Live-streaming on Betting Sites
If you were hoping that Premier League betting would allow you to stream your favorite games, we have some sombre news for you.
Unfortunately, as UK broadcasting rights are solely held by Sky Sports, BT Sports, Amazon Prime and the BBC, no sportsbooks are permitted to stream EPL games.
Despite this, some football is permitted to be streamed live by UK sportsbooks. Top betting sites such as the operator bet365, Betfred, and bwin all possess a range of soccer matches to enjoy, featuring games from La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A. This somewhat makes up for the lack of Premier League action.
Online EPL Betting vs Betting in Shops
After decades of high street dominance, the rapid increase in smartphone technology now means the majority of UK punters do their betting online. Here is why it is so popular:
- Online-only promotions – If you continue to place your wagers at a brick-and-mortar betting shop, you are missing out on the wonderful world of online-only promotions. From sign-up offers to free bets and everything in between, online sportsbooks are well known for rewarding their players regularly.
- Convenience – Another great advantage of online Premier League betting is the incredible convenience it affords. Provided you have access to a solid internet connection, you can place bets no matter where you are in the world.
- Cash out – Cash out has revolutionised sportsbooks, offering players more control than ever over their betting. This feature is only available online.
- Usability – In a betting shop you can often be left waiting in a queue, and browsing through the various markets is far from intuitive. Most online betting sites, meanwhile, have all-in-one mobile apps which are extremely easy to navigate.
History of the Premier League
In early 1992, the FA Premier League was formed. At the time, English football was in disarray, with stadiums crumbling, hooliganism rampant, and the on-field action lagging behind the rest of Europe.
By the following August, 22 clubs, who had each resigned from the Football League in May that year, kicked off the new Premier League season. At the time, the league was known internationally as The Premiership, but was rebranded in 2007 to the Premier League. Today, it is known as the English Premier League, or the EPL for short.
The first Premier League match broadcast live saw Nottingham Forest beat Liverpool, while the first Premier League goal was scored by Brian Deane of Sheffield United in a 2-1 win against Manchester United. In 1995, the number of teams competing in the Premier League was reduced to 20, which remains the same today.
Since the 2000s, the global profile of the Premier League has expanded rapidly. This has led to more lucrative television and sponsorship deals, causing the division to become one of the richest and best-known on the planet today.
