English Premier League Champions, UEFA Qualification and Relegation
The English First Division began in 1889 with the English Premier Division as we know it today formed as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992. The EPL consists of 20 teams who play each other home and away over the course of one season that runs from August to May.
English Premier League Champions
The 20 English Premier League clubs each play 38 matches during the season - 19 at home and 19 away. There are no playoffs at the top of the English Premier League table to determine who qualifies for the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.
Clubs are awarded three points for a win and one for a draw. The club that accumulates the most points after 38 matches are crowned champions. When multiple teams earn the same points they are separated by goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference, head-to-head away goals scored and away goals scored.
English Premier League UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League Qualification
England have traditionally been near the top of the UEFA coefficient ranking which are calculated by the performance of teams in UEFA competitions in the previous five years. That means the top four English Premier League clubs automatically qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage the following season.
The fifth-placed team in the English Premier League automatically qualifies for the subsequent season's UEFA Europa League group stage. The FA Cup winners also qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage, unless the FA Cup winner also finished in the top five in the Premier League in which case the place reverts to the team that finished sixth.
The winner of the English League Cup qualifies for the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round, unless the winner already qualified for a UEFA competition via the Premier League or FA Cup. If that occurs the spot reverts to the team that finished sixth in the English Premier League, or seventh if the FA Cup result caused the sixth-placed team to qualify.
English Premier League Relegation
The clubs that finish in the bottom three positions in the English Premier League are automatically relegated to England football’s second division, known as the EFL Championship or English Championship.
The top two teams from the EFL Championship are promoted to the Premier League with the third team promoted after a series of play-offs involving the third, fourth, fifth and sixth placed clubs.
English Premier League History
The English First Division ran from 1889 until 1992 and had a history that is as rich and dramatic as any other major league in Europe. Great teams like Tottenham Hotspur in the early 1960s, Manchester United in the late 1960s, Leeds United in the early 1970s, Nottingham Forest in the 1970s and the dominant Liverpool teams of the 1970s and 80s all helped in the growth of English football.
The English Premier League was founded in 1992 when English football was still reeling from the Heysel and Hillsborough tragedies. Those unfortunate incidents had severely tarnished English football’s image and caused English clubs to be banned from European competitions.
Satellite broadcasting company Sky TV wanted to pay for the TV rights for English football games, using the business models laid down by US sporting competitions like the NFL and the NBA. The English Premier League was formed with the 20 teams all agreeing to break away from the FA and strike their own lucrative deals with Sky.
In 1986 Alex Ferguson was appointed manager of Manchester United, then the biggest and wealthiest football club England. United won England's football championship when they became maiden English Premier League champions in 1993. Manchester United would go on to win four of the first five EPL championships. Their dominance was briefly interrupted in 1995 by Blackburn Rovers.
Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal in 1997 and won the English Premier League and FA Cup double in his first season. The Gunners would win the EPL in 2002 and 2004, with Wenger’s 2003-04 team known as “The Invincibles” after going all season without defeat.
Russian businessman Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003, recruited a young Portuguese coach named Jose Mourinho who took Chelsea to the English Premier League title at the first time of asking in 2004-05. Five EPL titles, six FA cups, four League Cups, European Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League titles were all won during Abramovich’s time as owner.
Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Manchester United and helped the Red Devils achieve UEFA Champions League success in 2008. Alex Ferguson bowed out at the top in 2013 at the age of 71 having just won his 13th Premier League title.
In 2008 the Abu Dhabi United Group purchased Manchester City and spent large amounts of money acquiring top players. City landed their first league trophy in more than 40 years in 2012. They had more success, but hiring the man regarded as the best coach in the world in 2017, former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, took them to the next level.
Guardiola’s Manchester City team played as high a level of football as was ever seen in the English Premier League. His Manchester City team won their third Premier League title in 2017-18 with five games to spare.
They broke a number of records including most points (100), most wins (32), most away wins (16), most goals (106), most consecutive league wins (18), highest goal difference (+79), most passes in a game (903), fewest minutes behind in matches (153 minutes) and biggest winning points margin (19).
The 2018-19 English Premier League season was one to remember, Manchester City winning the title again after winning their last 14 league games. Guardiola’s side retained the title on the final day of the season, finishing on 98 points, one in front of Liverpool who finished runners-up on 97 points.
Liverpool’s tally was the highest total in English top-flight history for a second-placed team. Manchester City would go on to become the first English team to complete a domestic treble with wins in the 2018-19 English League Cup and the 2018-19 FA Cup.
English Premier League Player Records
The English Premier League has featured some of the best footballers to play the game. Gareth Barry, Ryan Giggs and Frank Lampard all made over 600 EPL appearances.
The top goalscorer in English Premier League history is Alan Shearer who scored 260 goals for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United from 1992-2006. Shearer also holds the record for the most Premier League hat-tricks (11), most Premier League penalties scored (56), most Premier League goals scored from inside the box (227) and most Premier League goals in a single match (5).

English Premier League Winner Betting Odds
The English Premier League winner odds is an outright market where you bet on who you think will win the English Premier League at the end of the season.
Below we can see an example of English Premier League winner odds before the start of the 2019-20 English Premier League season.
| Club | Odds |
|---|---|
| Manchester City | 1.71 |
| Liverpool | 3.65 |
| Tottenham | 17.00 |
| Chelsea | 29.00 |
| Manchester United | 41.00 |
| Arsenal | 81.00 |
| Everton | 501.00 |
| Newcastle | 501.00 |
| Leicester City | 501.00 |

| Burnley | 3000.00 |
| Brighton | 3000.00 |
| Sheffield United | 3000.00 |
| Norwich City | 3000.00 |
How to Bet on the English Premier League Winner Market
With Manchester City breaking a number of records in 2017-18 it appeared they would stroll to the title again in 2018-19. It was far from the case as Liverpool pushed them all the way and almost got it done.
There have been some major upsets in the EPL such as Leicester’s remarkable title win in 2016-17 where they were 5000/1 to win the title. There are only few clubs that can realistically challenge Manchester City due to the superior finances available to the club.
The 2019-20 English Premier League Winner betting odds reflect this with Liverpool the only other team given some hope by bookmakers with Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United at longer odds. It’s always advisable to wait approximately 10 matches into the season to get a clearer picture of which clubs can contend for the title.
Odds to win the EPL vary with different bookmakers so it always pays to compare bookies to get the best available odds. The betting odds on any particular team winning the English Premier League title will fluctuate throughout the season which means that value can be obtained at any time.
English Premier League Top 4 Finish Betting Odds
The English Premier League Top 4 finish market is another common EPL outright betting market. If we eliminate Manchester City and Liverpool who are almost guaranteed to finish in the top 4 in the 2019-20 season, there is often plenty of value if you can spot a club that are undervalued.
Clubs that have done well in the transfer market or appointed a new manager could start the season with inconsistent results before going on a long winning run. Their top 4 odds will shorten after each win which is why it’s important to know when to place your bet.
There are a number of other outright betting markets available in the English Premier League such as:
- English Premier League Top 3 Finish
- English Premier League Top 6 Finish
- English Premier League Top 10 Finish
- English Premier League To Finish in Top Half
- English Premier League To Finish in Bottom Half
- English Premier League To Stay Up
English Premier League Relegation Betting Odds
The English Premier League Relegation betting market is an attractive way to be on the EPL. This market is simply selecting a team to get relegated into the English Championship by finishing in the bottom three positions. Clubs that recently won promotion to the Premier League are usually in the discussion with clubs that may have narrowly survived in the EPL the previous season.
There can be fantastic value found in the relegation market midway through the season. Some clubs may have started the season strong but injuries and predictability means they fall into the bottom three and find it hard to escape the drop.
| Club | Odds |
|---|---|
| Sheffield United | 1.73 |
| Norwich City | 1.91 |
| Burnley | 2.88 |
| Brighton | 3.00 |
| Aston Villa | 3.25 |
| Southampton | 6.00 |
| Crystal Palace | 7.00 |
| Bournemouth | 7.00 |
| Watford | 7.50 |
| Newcastle | 9.00 |
| West Ham United | 13.00 |
| Leicester City | 81.00 |
| Everton | 81.00 |
| Wolverhampton | 81.00 |
| Manchester United | 2000.00 |
| Arsenal | 2000.00 |
| Chelsea | 2000.00 |
| Tottenham | 3000.00 |
| Liverpool | 5000.00 |
| Manchester City | 5000.00 |
Premier League Points Handicap Market
Another outright betting market in the English Premier League is the points handicap market. Each club is assigned a points handicap from 0 to +40 points and your job is to pick the winner at the end of the season after the handicap has been added to the total points.
English Premier League Top Goalscorer Odds
One of the most popular player betting markets in the English Premier League is the top goalscorer market. Players at the top clubs will always feature prominently in this market as they will score the most goals and spend most of their time on the attack.
From 2000-01 to the 2018-19 season, players from the top six clubs have always finished as top scorer. Arsenal’s Thierry Henry was top scorer four times in 2001-02, 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06.
The 2018-19 season saw three players share the English Premier League top goalscorer award. Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored 22 goals alongside Liverpool’s Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah.
| Player | Club | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Harry Kane | Tottenham Hotspur | 6.00 |
| Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | 6.00 |
| Sergio Aguero | Manchester City | 7.00 |
| Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang | Arsenal | 8.00 |
| Sadio Mane | Liverpool | 13.00 |
| Raheem Sterling | Manchester City | 19.00 |
| Gabriel Jesus | Manchester City | 26.00 |
| Jamie Vardy | Leicester City | 26.00 |
| Alexandre Lacazette | Arsenal | 29.00 |
| Romelu Lukaku | Manchester United | 29.00 |
| Roberto Firmino | Liverpool | 34.00 |
| Paul Pogba | Manchester United | 41.00 |
| Marcus Rashford | Manchester United | 41.00 |
There are a few factors to take into consideration when planning on who to bet on to be the English Premier League top scorer. These include how well a team is likely to perform, playing style and tactical approach, competition for places in the starting XI and injury history.

Online English Premier League Betting
There are a number of factors you need to take into consideration before selecting online bookmakers to use to bet on the English Premier League.
The first is the markets and odds on offer for EPL matches such as handicap, first goalscorer and win to nil. Does the bookmakers will have the odds on offer for all the markets for every match?
Particular knowledge is required when selecting bookmakers to use for outright markets. Can you cash out during the EPL season? Will the market be available for the entirety of the English Premier League?
Having multiple online betting accounts will give you insurance against technical issues such as maintenance closures and will allows you compare bookmakers to find the best price on offer which is where you can find value.

English Premier League Live Streaming
Two things that have revolutionised sports betting, the introduction of live in-play betting and live streaming. Live in-play betting allows punters the opportunity to bet on a match or game after it has started.
For example, if a football match is already in progress, a bettor can still wager on the outcome of the game, but additionally can place a wager on other betting markets such as over/under 2.5 goals.
Live streaming gives the sports fan the opportunity to watch a game or match that they have wagered on in real-time, on a mobile device like a smart phone, tablet or laptop no matter where they are as long as they have a suitable internet connection.
English Premier League games can be live streamed by a number of top online bookmakers. You can enjoy watching live sport on the go with bet365 live streaming, as long as you have a funded sports account or have placed a bet within the last 24 hours.
Bet365 have made it simple to switch between the betting markets and live action, meaning wherever you can get an internet signal you can now bet and watch the game.
