Premier League odds: Manchester City favorite to repeat; best values to topple the reigning champs

It certainly makes sense for City to be first after it ran away with the title last season and didnt lose any important pieces. Liverpool edges Manchester United with the second-best odds which is probably fair, considering the Reds have been busy boosting their midfield and goalkeeper depth. I must say, it is surprising to see Chelsea fourth considering Tottenham and Arsenal both have stronger squads. The Blues, at least early on, dont feel like a top-four team with a weakness up top and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois gone to Real Madrid.

As for some higher-than-expected odds, how about West Ham and Wolves at 250/1? Both teams have been super busy in the transfer market and hope to surprise the league this season with a strong, top-half finish.
