Premier League top four odds 2023/24: Who will finish in the Champions League places?
The 2023/24 Premier League season sees the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham all trying to get back into the top four.
Three of the Premier League’s so-called ‘Big Six’ finished outside the top four last season as Newcastle broke the glass ceiling and secured a seat at the Champions League table, joining European champions Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Chelsea and Spurs failed to secure European football for 2023/24 in any capacity, but fans may see that as a blessing in disguise. Now Mauricio Pochettino and Ange Postecoglou both have time to re-establish both clubs back near the top of the table. However, Spurs will have to do so without Harry Kane, who has finally left the club, signing for Bayern Munich.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have Europa League football to look forward to, but Jurgen Klopp will not be satisfied with another season outside the coveted top four. And his summer business suggests he wants to see his side re-enter the title-challenging conversation.

Here are the latest Premier League top-four odds for the 2023/2024 season:
Man City
At this point, a top-four finish is par for the course for Pep Guardiola and his Treble-winning side. It’s simply non-negotiable, and in the eyes of many, frankly impossible for them not to achieve it. That sentiment pays testament to the level of dominance Guardiola has wrought over English football as his side has monopolised the Premier League title over recent years, and now become European champions and Treble winners. After five games of the new season, Man City are the only side left perfect in the Premier League.
Arsenal
Last season felt like an opportunity for Arsenal to achieve something special as their rivals dropped off. Mikel Arteta can claim huge plaudits for the consistency upon which Arsenal dominated teams throughout the season, but ultimately, they fell short at the final hurdle (as far as the title race is concerned). Not wanting to rest on their laurels, Arsenal made three game-changing signings in the summer ((Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber) that Arteta will hope to consolidate their intentions of challenging for titles. A long-term injury to Timber may temper that optimism, but the top four should still be the absolute minimum. Even with the injury, Arsenal have started well, taking 13 points from their opening five games.

Liverpool
Klopp has conceded that 2022/23 was simply not good enough, despite the club’s late resurgence. As a result, he completely revolutionised his squad over the summer. Old guard members James Milner, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Roberto departed alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister wered signed for a combined £95m. Luis Diaz is also back from injury, and has claimed the fabled No. 7 shirt, while Darwin Nunez has had a season to adapt to the Premier League. He’s also inherited the No. 9 shirt. After opening the campaign with a draw against Chelsea, Liverpool have cooked up a four-game winning streak to sit just two points behind Man City.
Tottenham
Tottenham entered the season with a cloud of uncertainty hovering over them. Postecoglou is a Premier League greenhorn and there was no telling how he would adapt after a slightly easier ride in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic. But the Australian has already overseen a massive change in Tottenham. A team that has become synonymous with not being able to get over the line, now never quit until the final whistle goals. They are playing attacking football that Tottenham fans have been craving, and getting the results from it. They are one of four teams still unbeaten in the Premier League, dropping just two points in an opening weekend draw against Brentford before beating Man Utd, Bournemouth, Burnley and Sheffield United.
Newcastle
The mega-rich Tynesiders look to have finally dismantled the ‘Big Six’. Rather than being a flash in the pan, Eddie Howe is backed with limitless wealth and signed Sandro Tonali from Milan — who is already looking the part in the Premier League — as well as Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about Newcastle’s intentions, I don’t know what will. They look like they’re here to stay, but did suffer a bit of a wobble with three consecutive defeats to Man City, Liverpool and Brighton. It’s early doors.

Brighton
Another team to impress last season, Brighton have started the new campaign in fantastic fashion. Roberto De Zerbi’s men one their opening two matches against Luton and Wolves but then had doubts thrown at them following a defeat to West Ham. But the Seagulls have bounced back in the best possible way with comfortable victories over Newcastle and Man Utd, the latter a 3-0 win at Old Trafford. They’re here to stay.
Chelsea
Chelsea spent a lot of money in the summer, giving Pochettino almost a brand new squad to get on with, while also shifted some deadwood. However, money isn’t immediately solving Chelsea’s problems. After a disastrous campaign last season, Chelsea have been just as bad at the start of 2023/24. The Blues have won just one of their first five Premier League games under Pochettino, scoring five goals. They have been struggling with injuries, which continue to pile up, but there are already worries growing over what they can achieve this season.
Man Utd
Erik ten Hag had a brilliant maiden campaign at Old Trafford as he won the League Cup, reached the FA Cup final and got Man Utd back into the top four. He has also proven he is not afraid to make the big decisions, engineering Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, stripping Harry Maguire of his captaincy and not yielding to David de Gea’s wage demands. It’s the kind of authority that Sir Alex Ferguson once wielded over Old Trafford, and Ten Hag appeared to be bringing back the good times. However, all good feeling has left Old Trafford after Man Utd lost three of their opening five Premier League games in a season for the first time. While there were narrow wins over Wolves and Nottingham Forest, Man Utd have fallen to Tottenham, Arsenal and Brighton, the latter a humbling defeat at Old Trafford.
