Since Belgian international football player Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury and Norwegian international footballer Erling Haaland found his mojo again, the telepathic link between the two English Premier League players is now a force to be reckoned with.

Now that Haaland and De Bruyne are clicking together again, does this mean they can win the 2023/24 English Premier League (EPL)? Let’s dive in to find out.

Can Manchester City win the 2023/24 English Premier League?

After beating fierce rivals Manchester United on March 3, 2024, Manchester City closed the game at the top of the table to just 1 point behind league leaders of the English Premier League, Liverpool.

There are just over 10 games to go before the end of the current campaign, and this hugely significant win over United has led many to believe that the current reigning champions can go on to win the league for a second consecutive season.

The quickest, easiest, and most reliable way to find out if Manchester City can win the premier league again this year would be to examine the latest odds currently being offered by globally renowned iGaming operators on trusted South African online sportsbooks, such as the official 10bet.com website.

It’s good news for Manchester City fans because almost all of today’s most trusted online sports betting sites, 10bet SA included, currently have Manchester City as the odds-on favourite team to win EPL 2023/24 outright.

Online sports betting in South Africa is perfectly legal on fully licensed and regulated sportsbooks like 10bet, provided you are at least 18 years old. Let’s take a quick look at the latest odds for the top three favourite EPL teams to win the league outright this season:

Team: Manchester City (odds-on favourites). Decimal odds: 1.80. Fractional odds: 4/5. American/moneyline odds: -125. Implied probability rate (IPR): 55.60%

Team: Liverpool (second odds-on favourites). Decimal odds: 3.20. Fractional odds: 11/5. American/moneyline odds: +220. Implied probability rate (IPR): 31.30%

Team: Arsenal. Decimal odds: 4.50. Fractional odds: 7/2. American/moneyline odds: +350. Implied probability rate (IPR): 22.20%

In other words, to place a wager on Manchester City to win the EPL outright would be a reasonably secure bet, but don’t forget – nothing is guaranteed to win and anything can happen in football to upset the odds.

What does the league table look like?

As it stands, Liverpool are top of the table. Manchester City are in second place, and Arsenal are in third place, followed by Aston Villa (4), Tottenham Hotspur (5), Manchester United (6), and West Ham (7).

Here’s how the top three looks today:

1. Team: Liverpool. Played: 27. Won: 19. Drawn: 6. Lost: 2. Goals For (GF/Scored): 64. Goals Against (GA/Goals Conceded): 25. Goal Difference (GD): 39. Points: 63.
2. Team: Manchester City. Played: 27. Won: 19. Drawn: 5. Lost: 3. Goals For (GF/Scored): 62. Goals Against (GA/Goals Conceded): 27. Goal Difference (GD): 35. Points: 62.
3. Team: Arsenal. Played: 26. Won: 18. Drawn: 4. Lost: 4. Goals For (GF/Scored): 62. Goals Against (GA/Goals Conceded): 23. Goal Difference (GD): 39. Points: 58.

Can Manchester City win the treble again?

In the previous football season (2022/23), Manchester City won the treble – the English Premier League, the English FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League, something that very few clubs have managed.

They are still in all three competitions, meaning they can still win the EPL, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League.
However, based on their current form and the fact they have done it before, almost all of today’s most trusted online bookmakers feel it’s such a good possibility that they have reduced their odds of Manchester City achieving this to around 11.00 (which is 10/1 or +1,000), with 9.10% implied probability rate.

They are the current odds-on favourite to win the Champions League at around 2.50 (6/2, or +150), with a 40.00% IPR, ahead of Real Madrid and Arsenal.

Upcoming fixtures

Manchester City play Copenhagen at home in the second leg of the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League on March 6, 2024, and then when they return for league action on Sunday, March 10, they face one of their toughest challenges yet.

They travel away to play league leaders Liverpool at Anfield in a 17:45 kickoff. The following game is in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Newcastle United on Saturday, March 16, before returning for league action on March 31 in another huge fixture (possible title-deciding game) against Arsenal at home.

Other upcoming fixtures are against Aston Villa (home), Crystal Palace (away), Luton Town (home), and Spurs (away), to name a few.
