- Arsenal (1/8), Chelsea (5/6) and Manchester United (8/13) are the top three customer picks for a top-four finish across both global and UK bet365 punters

bet365 Data Reveals Three-Way Race for Final Champions League Spot as UK Punters Back Newcastle for Shock Relegation
bet365 has released fresh customer betting data ahead of the 2026-27 Premier League season, revealing two genuinely interesting stories from its global and UK punter base.
The data shows a three-way race between Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham for the final Champions League spot, and a striking UK-vs-global split on the relegation market where domestic customers have piled heavily onto Newcastle at 8/1 while global customers see Manchester City as the more likely candidate for a fall.
These numbers cover both the Top Four and Relegation Singles markets across bet365's global customer base, offering a rare look at where genuine punter sentiment sits at one of the most active UK betting sites.
2026-27 Premier League Top Four: bet365 Customer Betting Data
The Top Four market reveals a clear consensus at the top of the table and a much more contested picture at the bottom of the Champions League places.
Global and UK % share of bets placed for Top Four:
| Team | Global % | UK % | Outright Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 23.21% | 24.88% | 1/8 |
| Chelsea | 21.91% | 23.11% | 5/6 |
| Manchester United | 17.45% | 18.75% | 8/13 |
| Manchester City | 13.39% | 8.64% | 2/7 |
| Liverpool | 9.83% | 8.23% | 4/9 |
| Tottenham | 7.07% | 7.86% | 3/1 |
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United dominate the share of bets across both audiences, with Arsenal at 1/8 to finish in the top four now one of the shortest prices in the market for a Champions League place.
Manchester United's ranking is notable: at 8/13 outright with 17-19% customer share, the market and the punters agree that Michael Carrick's side are firmly re-established as a top-four contender.
Premier League Relegation: The UK vs Global Divide
The relegation market shows the most striking split in the whole data set, with UK and global customers taking dramatically different views on where the danger sits.
Global Top 5 (relegation singles):
- Manchester City — 24.3%
- Newcastle — 18.8%
- Coventry — 17.9%
- Hull — 17.2%
- Fulham — 6.8%
UK Top 5 (relegation singles):
- Newcastle — 46.8%
- Manchester City — 23.9%
- Hull — 6.9%
- Fulham — 4.2%
- Tottenham — 3.0%
Global customers have put more of their focus on Manchester City (24.3%), likely reflecting the ongoing Premier League FFP investigations and the outside chance of a points deduction that could compound into a genuine relegation risk over a full season.
| Premier League Relegation 26/27 | Outright Price | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Hull | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Coventry | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Ipswich | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Sunderland | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Fulham | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Leeds | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Crystal Palace | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Nottingham Forest | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Brentford | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Newcastle | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Everton | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Bournemouth | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Manchester City | 12/1 | 7.7% |
At 12/1 with 24% global customer share, punters are effectively betting on the ongoing Premier League FFP investigations resulting in a points deduction significant enough to send Manchester City down.
UK punters have collectively backed Newcastle at 46.8% to be relegated at a market price of 8/1. Newcastle at 8/1 implies roughly an 11% chance of relegation, but UK customer betting suggests punters believe the chances are much higher.
