The combined bookies’ odds from across the United Kingdom reveal the Foxes are largely being tipped to miss out on the top seven. In fact, the predictions have City as low as ninth and should that prove accurate, City will finish in that position for the third straight season. Meanwhile, Manchester City are expected to lift the title again, just ahead of Liverpool. Elsewhere in the top four, Tottenham are being tipped for a promising season, finishing third, just ahead of Chelsea, who, if the bookies are to be trusted, will claim the final Champions League spot. Manchester United and Arsenal are likely candidates for the Europa League as far as the bookmakers are concerned, along with Wolves, who are being tipped for a another seventh-place finish. At the bottom end of the table, Sheffield United and Norwich are tipped to go straight back down, finishing 20th and 19th respectively. But Aston Villa are being tipped to beat the drop with a 15th-place finish projected. Burnley are the third most likely team to face relegation, just ahead of Brighton, who battled relegation last term.

Raw Dykes Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 I can't see a finish as low as 9th happening again this season. With Rodgers managing instead of Puel, Tielemans here from the start of the season, and Perez linking midfield to Vardy, plus hopefully a bit more strength in depth, I'm sure we'll do better than last season. I've no doubt that, at the very least least, one of Man Utd, Arsenal or Chelsea are in for a proper stinker of a season. I'll predict that one of them will miss out on Europe by a distance. I don't like to set myself up for disappointment, but all the signs point to us having a good season. I'll predict 7th, at least.
foxfan92 Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Was looking at this earlier. All I can say is I hope they've underestimated us again. (Although I doubt they've underestimated us quite as much as they did in the 2015/16 season.)
Izzy Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Good. I'd much prefer everyone tip us to finish 9th than 6th. Less pressure and expectation - just how we like it. Keep writing us off please
joachim1965 Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Don't care, they didn't fancy us to win the league, didn't stop us .

ealingfox Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 I think 9th sounds about right to be honest. A cup win is our best route into Europe.
RumbleFox Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 I was looking to put a bet on us to finish top six. I only ever really bet on the National and am a bit useless. Where would one find the best odds for such a bet? X
RowlattsFox Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 People are more confident than I am. I hope and I think there is a chance we could challenge but that's it. I don't want to get into a position where people are expecting a top 6 finish and we will see Rodgers out threads if we're not. You could put us, Wolves, Everton and West Ham in line because we all have as much chance as eachother to gatecrash the top 6, however one of them teams could finish as low down as 10th. Its competitive.

Where would one find the best odds for such a bet? X Premier League top 6 finish Bet Victor will give you 10/1 which seems a bit daft, as the rest are only offering around 4/1 edit. Scrap that Bet victor has already dropped its odds to 4's.
pSinatra Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Don't be disappointed to see Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal above Leicester, or anyone you think might break into the top 6. Betting odds reflect where the money is going. If you've read Redcafe, you'll know that there's millions of people all over the world who refuse to accept that it has become a basket case. They'll be lumping all their money on their team based on blind faith - just like they've always done. This is just the bookmakers reducing their risk & isn't based (largely) on any detailed analysis.
Ron Combo Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 I can't access UK bookies' prices from here. Anybody know the general odds in the UK on us winning the FA Cup? Bet365 in Italy are offering 34/1.
funkyrobot Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 7th for Wolves with their small squad and playing Thursdays in the Europa. Wow.
Ben. Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 Think Newcastle fans would snap your hands off for an 11th place finish in their current circumstances...
Ted Maul Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 If Wolves take Europe seriously there's absolutely no way they're finishing 7th. Newcastle will be closer to 11 points than 11th place.
ealingfox Posted 19 July 2019 Posted 19 July 2019 What i want is for us to be built up to a level sort of like Everton, where we can have a bad season yet not be in any real danger of relegation. I don't know exactly how you get to that sort of state. Stoke finished 9th 3 years in a row and look at them now.
