Liverpool to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League odds have shortened from 7/2 to a best price of 3/1 with BetTom, as three of 15 bookmakers cut.
The odds on Liverpool to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League have been slashed from 7/2 to 15/8 with Skybet, with a cracking week on the pitch behind the move and 3/1 still the best price available at BetTom.
Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday, with Alexander Isak on the scoresheet.
Three of 15 bookmakers have cut their odds on Liverpool to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League.
Arsenal are the clear favourites at a best price of 1/12 with Bet Victor, and Liverpool sit third-shortest behind Man City.
Liverpool followed that up with a 4-3 win over Villarreal in midweek.
Liverpool did the damage early against Brighton on 25 October 2026. Florian Wirtz forced Pascal Groß into an own goal, and Isak doubled the lead soon after for his sixth league goal of the campaign. Virgil van Dijk said afterwards that the side went direct on purpose to get around Brighton's high press, and it worked. No messing about in the build-up, just the ball into the forwards and a game killed off inside the first half hour. That is the story of this Liverpool side right now: an engine room that gets the ball forward fast and an attack that punishes you for it.
The Champions League win over Villarreal told a similar story, a messy, open outing settled by firepower rather than control. Back-to-back wins with goals in them are exactly what moves a market, and three of 15 bookmakers have reacted by trimming their price on this selection. The one worry is Wirtz, who came off in the 65th minute against Brighton with an ankle issue. He is central to the forward line that has driven this shortening, so his fitness matters more than anything else on the medical list.

Can Liverpool finish in the top 2 of the Premier League behind Arsenal?
Arsenal are the clear favourites at a best price of 1/12 with Bet Victor, and it is hard to argue with that given how they are playing. The log leaders kept rolling on 24 October 2026 with a 2-0 win over Everton, Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhães getting the goals. That leaves the real fight for the second spot, where Man City lead the chasing pack and Liverpool are third-shortest. Chelsea are lurking just behind, which makes the next few fixtures for Liverpool so important.
Arsenal – 1/12 with Bet Victor
Man City – 2/1 with Skybet
Liverpool – 3/1 with BetTom
Chelsea – 7/2 with Paddy Power

What do Liverpool need to finish in the top 2 of the Premier League?
There is a big stretch of fixtures coming up for this Liverpool side: Chelsea in the League Cup on Wednesday, then Arsenal on 1 November. The Arsenal fixture is the one that shapes this market most. Beat the log leaders and the case for finishing inside the top two gets a lot stronger, mostly at Man City's expense rather than Arsenal's. Our take is that the shortening is earned, because this attack is scoring freely, but everything hinges on Wirtz's ankle. If he is fit to line up alongside Isak, the current price still has appeal. If he is not, Liverpool lose the player who makes the forward line tick, and the odds could ease back out just as quickly.
