Man City to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League odds have drifted from 4/7 to 11/10 with 12 bookmakers easing prices. Track the latest market shift.
The odds on Man City to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League have drifted out from 4/7 to 11/10 with Sporting Index, which is a strange look for a side who have just taken Liverpool apart.
12 bookmakers have eased their odds on Man City to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League.
The best price available on Man City is now 6/5 with Boyle Sports.
Arsenal remain the clear favourites at a best price of 1/10 with William Hill.
Man City have won their last six matches in the Premier League, the latest being Sunday's win over Liverpool.
On the pitch, nothing looks wrong at all. Sunday's 3-0 win over Liverpool was ruthless. Once Ryan Gravenberch was sent off, Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki all scored in the second half, and that front line is the clearest reason to believe in this side. It keeps a run of six straight Premier League wins going, and you would usually expect a run like that to have bookmakers cutting the price, not pushing it out.
So the drift on Man City to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League to 11/10 with Sporting Index has to be explained off the pitch. Man City lodged their formal appeal against the independent commission's financial breach verdict at the start of October, saying the original findings contain material errors. Enzo Maresca has said he has total trust in Khaldoon Al-Mubarak and Ferran Soriano, but he would not speculate on his own future until the appeal is concluded. After the Liverpool game he said his team's job was to "make our noise by winning games". That is exactly what they are doing, but the market is pricing in the uncertainty in the boardroom rather than the football on the grass.
Premier League Top 2 Finish odds
The best price on Man City to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League is 6/5 with Boyle Sports, with Spreadex, Betfred and Bet Victor all quoting a slightly shorter 11/10.

Can Man City finish in the top 2 of the Premier League?
Arsenal are the clear favourites at a best price of 1/10 with William Hill, and they sit firmly at the top of the Premier League log. They came from behind to beat Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Friday, with Riccardo Calafiori scoring the equaliser, and that kind of stubborn streak is why bookmakers barely look past them. Man City are still second-shortest at 6/5 with Boyle Sports, so even after the drift the market has them holding on to the other spot. Their attack is the reason for that, and on current form it is hard to see Liverpool or Chelsea matching it.
Arsenal – 1/10 with William Hill, the clear favourites and the side everyone else is chasing.
Man City – 6/5 with Boyle Sports, second-shortest even though bookmakers have eased their price.
Liverpool – 10/3 with Spreadex, left looking up at Man City after Sunday's defeat.
Chelsea – 10/3 with Sporting Index, level with Liverpool in the chasing pack.
Latest bookmaker offer
What do Man City need to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League?
Keep winning and let the lawyers deal with the rest. Man City face Ipswich on Saturday before AEK Athens in the Champions League the following Tuesday, and with Haaland, Doku and Cherki in this kind of form the football looks well sorted. The bigger question is the appeal, which is due to be heard before Christmas, with a formal resolution set for early 2027. Until that is settled, our prediction is that 6/5 with Boyle Sports is a price shaped by off-field doubt rather than anything this team is doing in front of goal.
