Leeds win at Forest as bookmakers update predicted Premier League finish and title odds | OneFootball

Leeds United opened their second season back in the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, sealed by Anton Stach’s 88th-minute free-kick. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, bookmakers have updated their predicted final table after this first glimpse of Daniel Farke’s side.

Leeds began the campaign at a Forest team who finished last season 16th, two places and three points behind the Whites. Farke’s men have now won five of their last eight matches, building on a strong end to last season.

Defending champions Arsenal opened Friday with a 3-0 home win over Coventry City. Saturday brought big wins for newly promoted Hull City, who beat Manchester United at MKM Stadium, and Ipswich Town, who saw off Sunderland 2-1 at Portman Road. Brentford produced Saturday’s biggest margin with a 3-0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur, while Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-0.

The results left Leeds sixth in the very early table ahead of Sunday and Monday’s fixtures.

Based on the latest odds, the new predicted top six is: 1st Arsenal, title odds Evens, in from 5-4 and now as short as 4-5 with some firms. Then 2nd Manchester City, 9-2, out from 4-1, 3rd Liverpool, 7-1, out from 13-2, 4th Chelsea, 8-1, 5th Manchester United, 16-1, out from 12s, and 6th Tottenham Hotspur, 50-1, out from 33s.
