For the big English Premier League clubs, a season is usually defined by whether or not they win silverware (and how much of it they win).
One month into the 2019-20 football season, fans are already getting a good indication of what to expect from each club. Manchester City and Liverpool are the runaway leaders in the EPL. But what about other silverware? What are each of the big clubs’ odds of winning a trophy this season?
Manchester City, 1/7 to Win a Trophy
Last season, Manchester City became the first club in English football history to win the domestic treble of the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup. This season, the club is looking to go one better and add the Champions League. Individually, it is the favourite in betting markets for all four tournaments. However, the odds of Manchester City winning four trophies and a historic quadruple are 50/1. What is virtually certain is that City will win at least one trophy, which is a 1/7 bet at bet365.
Liverpool, 4/5 to win a Major Trophy
Man City claimed most of the silverware last season, but it was Liverpool who won the Champions League. The Reds are second-favourite to win this season’s EPL and third-favourite to win the Champions League (behind City and Barcelona). They are odds-on to win a major trophy, at 4/5. Most importantly for Liverpool fans, the bookies are offering 20/1 on a Premier League and Champions League double.

Tottenham, 11/4 to Win a Major Trophy
Spurs had a great season last year but missed out on silverware as their rivals City and Liverpool dominated. Still stinging from last season’s Champions League final loss to Liverpool, Spurs fans will have their eyes on going one better and winning some silver this season. Tottenham’s odds of winning a major trophy are currently 11/4. The question is: which trophy? Spurs are a distant third-favourite in Premier League betting, and are also in third in the FA Cup and League Cup. Realistically, the cups may be Spurs’ best hope.
Manchester United, 2/1 to Win a Major Trophy
Manchester United will appear in the Europa League this season and the move down to Europe’s second-tier tournament could help United in its bid to pick up some silverware. Aside from that, United is paying 100/1 to win the Premier League but far shorter odds to win the FA Cup or League Cup. United do perform well in these tournaments and is paying 2/1 to win a trophy this season.
Arsenal, 9/4 to Win a Major Trophy
Gunners fans have been starved of silverware for the last few years after going through a long period where they seemingly won titles and cups every season. Arsenal’s defence is about to get a whole lot better, but will it be enough to challenge for a trophy? The Gunners typically perform best in the FA Cup, but it’s in the Europa League where we think the best chances are. Arsenal is paying 9/4 to win a major trophy in one of these four tournaments.
Chelsea, 10/3 to Win a Major Trophy
Chelsea has started the 2019-20 EPL season in disastrous fashion and is now paying 125/1 to win the title. With that out of the picture and the Champions League a long shot, Chelsea will be focused on winning the FA Cup or League Cup. Chelsea is 10/3 to win a trophy and 66/1 to win the cup double.
