Three months on from Leicester City’s 4-0 triumph over Aston Villa in front of 32,000 supporters at the King Power Stadium, the Premier League is set for its next round of fixtures, with Villa again involved in the first game back.

Dean Smith’s team host Sheffield United at 6pm on Wednesday, 17th June, and the visitors have been installed as favourites with a best price of 7/5.

The Blades are understandably favoured given their outstanding performances this season, but their betting odds are shorter than they would have been with a full Villa Park crowd in attendance.

Evidence from Bundesliga fixtures since the German top-flight’s resumption suggests that the home advantage is now obsolete, and as such, it is a tricky fixture for Villa as they look to get out of the relegation zone.

While several away teams have been tipped to get a result in the opening batch of games, Arsenal are not one of them as they visit Manchester City. You can get odds as big as 8/1 on the Gunners with City priced at 4/11.

On Friday, 19th June, game week 30 gets underway with Norwich City vs Southampton followed by Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United.

UK betting sites can hardly split Spurs and the Red Devils, but United are slight favourites at 8/5 to emerge victorious in North London. Tottenham had been favourites themselves when the market opened, but the line has shifted since.

The pick of the fixtures on the Premier League’s first weekend back is the Merseyside derby between Everton and champions-elect Liverpool. It remains to be seen whether the game will take place at Goodison Park, but the Reds will be odds-on either way.

Jurgen Klopp’s side could even secure the title with a win on Sunday night but that would require Arsenal inflicting defeat on Manchester City beforehand.

With the destination of the championship all but confirmed, the most interesting Premier League outright betting markets come further down the table.

It appears to be too big an ask for Norwich City to make up a six-point deficit and escape the drop, but any of the five teams above them could end up in the remaining two relegation places.

Villa are two points from safety with a game in hand but you can still back them at 9/4 to stay up, while Bournemouth, currently in 18th, are 10/11 to survive or 4/5 to go down.

Should the Cherries get out of trouble, that could be bad news for the other teams on 27 points. Watford are 5/2 for relegation, with West Ham at 21/10.

Brighton are on 29 points, two clear of the bottom three, but could easily be dragged into it and are 3/1 to go down in Graham Potter’s first season in charge.

With various outright markets and a wide range of fixtures to wager on across not just the Premier League but also La Liga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga, there are sure to be plenty of betting offers on online betting sites.
