What price are Newcastle to finish in the top ten? Read oddschecker’s preview of all the key markets ahead of the new season.
If this would have been written earlier in the year we may be telling a different story, when the rumours of a Saudi takeover of the club prompted bookies to move Newcastle to 80/1 to win the league and just 6/4 to sign Philippe Coutinho, and that’s without mentioning the Mbappe rumours.
Premier League top ten odds
Seemingly bound for another mid-table finish, the 19/20 was their second successive 13th place finish, achieving 10th before that in the 17/18 season. Ambitious fans will be hoping to improve on last season’s finish and find their way into the top 10.
Burnley are one of the least favourites to finish in the top ten
Bookies aren’t expecting Newcastle to improve any time soon, rather than another year at the middle of the table, they’re expecting an even worse result. Pricing Newcastle up at 9/4 for relegation and 5/1 to achieve a top ten finish.
Some fans will be dreaming that Steve Bruce can lead Newcastle to a place into the top six which looks unlikely as bookies have placed them at a best price of 35/1 to do so.
28 year old, Jeff Hendrick, was one of the players who came in. At Burnley, since 2016 the central midfielder has been a staple in the Burnley squad since then and Steve Bruce will hope his move can make a difference in The Magpies Squad.
Everton, Southampton & Leeds in favour to beat Newcastle to a top-half finish
Everton and Southampton both finished above Newcastle last season in 12th & 11th place. Bookies have once again hedged their bets for them to finish above Newcastle once again and many are expecting them to land in the top 10 in the 2020/21 season.
Everton are as short as 4/9 for a top 10 finish and at a best price of 8/11, whereas Southampton are priced at 13/8.

Who will be Newcastle’s top goalscorer?
Miguel Almiron was Newcastle’s top scorer last season in all competitions he scored eight, but only managed four in the premier league, it’ll shock no one that he’s 500/1 to win the golden boot.
Jonjo Shelvey was the Magpies top scorer in the Prem last season with six goals. He hasn’t been named in the golden boot market.
Allan Saint-Maximin scored four in all competitions and three in the Premier League last season, he’s also been priced at 500/1 to be the league’s top scorer.
Next Premier League manager to be sacked: how safe is Steve Bruce?
At 10/1 to be the next manager to leave his post, with the market as tight as it is Steve Bruce is looking fairy safe, for now, but he’ll need to improve this season to secure his position for the future.
Aston Villa’s Dean Smith shares the same odds to leave as Bruce at 10/1, but Palace’s Hodgson is looking the most likely to go at 6/1 followed by David Moyes at 8/1.
