Premier League odds: City tipped to lift title, Huddersfield to finish bottom
The odds are in following Huddersfield Town's promotion to the Premier League.
Unfortunately, the West Yorkshire side's appearance in England's top flight for the first time in 45 years is thought to be brief, as bookies from the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook have picked the Terriers as the odds-on favourites to return to the Championship with a last-place finish.
However, Huddersfield can draw some encouragement from the fact that it has a better probability (2000/1) of winning the league than Leicester City (5000/1) did ahead of its Premier League-winning campaign.
Brighton & Hove Albion isn't expected to fare much better following its promotion after being tipped to finish 19th, but Newcastle United - the third side to come out of the Championship - is expected to mount a strong return to the Premier League with a comfortable 11th-place finish.
Manchester City is predicted to lift its third Premier League trophy in six seasons, while defending champion Chelsea drops to second. Manchester United and Tottenham round out the top four, respectively.
