Arsenal are favoured to win the Premier League in 2023, with BETSiE projecting the Gunners as a 55.3% chance of winning the league this season. Meanwhile, Manchester City are considered a 43% chance. The bookmakers disagree with BETSiE, with the oddsmakers considering Man City roughly a 63% chance to win the league with Arsenal at around 35%.
ESPN’s FiveThirtyEight has Man City as 50% chances to win the League, while Arsenal are given a 42% chance. So it’s safe to say that BETSiE is on her own when it comes to their fancying Arsenal to finish the season atop the table.
