Premier League 2022/2023 predicted table as Leeds United scrape survival and Man Utd move up

It feels like barely a day has passed since the end of the 2021/2022 Premier League season - a campaign to forget for Leeds United. Plagued by a litany of injuries to key players, the Whites came dangerously close to relegation to the Championship and survived thanks to a final day win at Brentford and Burnley defeat to Newcastle.

But the simple fact is Leeds remain a Premier League side, and a busy start to the summer looks to have set the club in good stead to learn from last season and build on 17th place. And bookies have already set their stalls out on the league’s outright betting odds.

Here is the predicted 2022/2023 Premier League table based on those odds.

1. Manchester City (4/7 to win)

Unsurprising, given how dominant they looked last season and the reinforcements due over the summer. Pipped Liverpool to the title last season and were a striker short of a perfect team.

Well now they’ve got arguably the best number nine in the world in Erling Haaland and have no clear weaknesses, making them odds on to make it five titles in six seasons.

2. Liverpool (9/4 to win)

The Reds are the only side who have come anywhere close to City over the last few seasons, and put together a 19-game unbeaten run to take it to the final day.

Look likely to strengthen with the arrival of 26-goal Darwin Nunez this summer but could lose Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.

3. Chelsea (14/1 to win)

The gap between Chelsea and the top two says it all, as Thomas Tuchel’s side ended last season 19 points off the champions.

Todd Boehly takeover could provide huge financial backing but last season’s £97.5 million signing Romelu Lukaku could be on the way out already.

4. Tottenham (16/1 to win)

Racked up eight wins in 11 to pip a stuttering Arsenal to fourth place and looked solid under Antonio Conte - although Champions League football could prove a hindrance.

Progress depends on summer investment, with Conte more than capable of building an elite team if backed.

5. Manchester United (25/1 to win)

The worst season in the club’s Premier League history saw Manchester United finish sixth with 16 wins and 58 points - 35 off their city rivals.

Erik Ten Hag will hope to rejuvenate the side and will be backed in the market to do so, but offloading the likes of Paul Pogba could have just as positive an effect.

6. Arsenal (50/1 to win, 2/1 top-four)

Should have secured Champions League football last season from the position they were in, but consecutive defeats to Spurs and Newcastle crushed any hope.

Still a young, exciting and improving side with a good manager. A world-class striker could elevate them higher than predicted.

7. Newcastle United (66/1 to win, 15/2 top-four)

The biggest jumpers of the lot for obvious reasons. Picked up the fourth most points in the league between February 1 and the final day and improved exponentially under Eddie Howe.

Backed to spend big in the summer window as the club look to bring in Champions League-level talent such as Sven Botman and Victor Osimhen.

8. West Ham (11/1 top-four)

Continued to punch above their weight last season but struggled to cope with additional demands of European football.

Will need to reinforce over the summer but lack the financial clout of any of those above.

9. Aston Villa (14/1 top-four)

Showed spells of improvement under Steven Gerrard but never found the consistency to make a genuine climb up the table.

Snapped up signings early in Phillipe Coutinho, Boubacar Kamara and Diego Carlos and financially able to add further.

10. Leicester City (14/1 top-four)

Failed to find any consistency last season and were distracted for the most part by Europa Conference League football midweek.

Will no doubt recruit some promising talents over the summer while selling off one key player - namely Youri Tielemans - as is the Foxes way.

11. Brighton (20/1 top-four, 9/1 to be relegated)

Smart recruitment and a top-class manager has propelled the Seagulls to relative Premier League comfort.

Could lose Yves Bissouma but will no doubt have a replacement line up already and will add more shrewd signings.

12. Crystal Palace (33/1 top-four, 11/2 to be relegated)

Finished 12th and played some brilliant football in what was meant to be a transition season under Patrick Viera.

Brought in exciting Championship talent last summer and would be inclined to do similar again.

13. Wolves (33/1 top-four, 5/1 to be relegated)

Won one of their last nine and fell to 10th by the end of last season, but were solid during the first two-thirds of the season and at one point pushed for Europe.

Likely to lose Ruben Neves in the summer which would be a massive blow.

14. Everton (33/1 top-four, 9/2 to be relegated)

Were in very real danger of going down last season but managed to win three of their last six to pull clear.

Frank Lampard didn’t revolutionise the team but did keep them safe. Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin may both leave but funds will be used to reinvest.

15. Southampton (3/1 to be relegated)

Almost always put together a good mid-season run to secure safety before crumbling and flirting with the drop. Won one of their last 13 and finished 15th last campaign.

Lack the financial power of most top-tier teams and unlikely to recruit big in the summer.

16. Leeds United (5/2 to be relegated)

Needed a final day win coupled with Burnley defeat to survive last season but managed it with a litany of key injuries and the sacking of Marcelo Bielsa.

£35 million already spent on Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen as the club look to get business done early and learn from last year’s near-fatal mistakes.

17. Brentford (5/2 to be relegated)

Had a brilliant debut season in the Premier League including wins against Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham - finishing in 13th.

May struggle with the dreaded second-season syndrome and losing Christian Eriksen, but recruit smartly with a small budget.

18. Fulham (6/5 to be relegated)

Won the Championship with 90 points and were rampant in doing so, but struggled to make the step up to the Premier League last time and will want to avoid becoming a yo-yo club.

Whether Aleksandar Mitrovic can come anywhere close to last season’s 43 goals will play a huge role - expect incomings to be more considered than previous years.

19. Nottingham forest (8/11 to be relegated)

Returned to the top-flight for the first time in 23 years after beating Huddersfield Town in the playoff final.

Have a great manager in Steve Cooper but look have lost loanee Djed Spence and look likely to lose Brennan Johnson as well.

20. Bournemouth (8/13 to be relegated)

Finished two points behind Fulham in the Championship last season but simply lack the budget or stature to compete.

Questions over Scott Parker’s level as a Premier League manager but both he and Cherries fans will be hopeful of proving the bookies wrong.
