Liverpool are 7/4 to retain their title in BOYLE Sports’ Premier League outright winner odds following a dramatic 3-2 victory at Newcastle.
The Reds looked to be in full control at St James’ Park when leading 2-0 through goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike, while the Magpies were down to 10 men due to the dismissal of Anthony Gordon.
Liverpool
Slot Hails Mental Strength
However, Newcastle staged a heroic comeback with strikes by Bruno Guimaraes and William Osula, only for 16-year-old substitute Rio Ngumoha to snatch it for the visitors deep into stoppage time.
Arne Slot hailed his team's mental strength, stating, “Winning away at Newcastle, then you definitely need to have quality, especially in an atmosphere like this.
"Not football quality, because that’s not what we showed today, apart from the last goal we scored. That looked a little bit like what I see on a daily basis on the training ground. “But to have the mentality to fight here in such a hostile stadium, that is definitely something you also need if you want to compete in the end.
“Winning is something else, but at least competing, you definitely need to have this mentality – and that’s what we showed.”
Arsenal
Big Win For Gunners Comes At A Cost
Arsenal are the same price at 7/4 after also making it two wins out of two with a 5-0 thrashing of Leeds at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners ran riot with doubles from summer signing Viktor Gyokeres and Jurrien Timber and a further score from Bukayo Saka. However, on a day when latest recruit Eberechi Eze, was unveiled to supporters, the win was marred by injuries to Saka and Martin Odegaard.
“We are two weeks in and we have already lost Kai (Havertz), Martin and Bukayo,” said boss Mikel Arteta. “So it tells you how well-equipped you have to be in this league to manage and to maintain the level that we want.”
Next up for Arsenal is a mouth-watering clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Tottenham
Impressive Spurs Stun Sloppy City
Tottenham are the only other team on six points after a fine 2-0 away triumph over Manchester City, and they are 25/1 in the Premier League outright winner odds.
Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha hit the target, and Thomas Frank beamed: "This was away at the Etihad – one of the most difficult places to go to. I think the mentality is the key thing. You need mentality to win games like this.”
Man City
City Drift
Having won 4-0 at Wolves first up, City returned to earth with a bump and are out to 9/2 for the title.
Pep Guardiola’s side were on the back foot for large periods, and home debutant James Trafford’s error for Palhinha’s goal just before half-time was a body blow they were unable to recover from.
