Finally, there is the top 10 market to ponder, and here we find a smorgasbord of candidates, not least Everton who tempt at 7/2. The Toffees would have finished 12th last term were it not for their points deduction and it was not simply that which proved so costly. The threat of it and the uncertainty that followed undermined Sean Dyche’s side at every turn.
Still, it is a recently promoted team that most appeals, even if history tells us otherwise.
A remarkable 43 of the 94 teams who have come up from the Championship in the Premier League era have gone straight back down while last term, all three promoted sides suffered that fate.
But we have also seen on numerous occasions promoted sides initially soar, maintaining their momentum and gate-crashing the party in some style until gravity eventually takes hold.
Why not Ipswich to do precisely this going into the autumn? And why should they be expected to decline thereafter?
Buoyed by Kieran McKenna’s decision to stay in Suffolk the high-pressing, possession-based fare perfected by the Tractor Boys is a neat fit for the top-flight. In truth, they’ve bene playing Premier League football now for two years and more.
Odds 8-1 |  |

10/1 with Sky
I think expectations are far too high with some people. 17th would be an incredible achievement. |  |

Not sure Everton would be a very safe bet, aren't they likely due more FFP trouble? Also their takeover has just gone belly up again which means a chance of admin, if it's not sorted soon, which in turn would lead to a hefty points deduction and a fire sale. I'd keep your money in your pocket for that one!
On the town angle, who knows? It could go either way but confidence is still going to be high and a few decent results in our first 5 games and there's every chance we could be a surprise package! [Post edited 20 Jul 2024 14:45]

I would love 17th, and I agree it would be an amazing achievement, but you just never know with Kieran. I can't say it's likely that we'll finish in the top half, but I'd have a couple of quid at 10/1. |  | | |

I got 11/1 at William Hill and a cheeky £150 laid on …… |  | | |
