No Favourites Anywhere: All Ten Fixtures Priced Identically

Ten fixtures, one price

There is a curiosity running through this round of Premier League fixtures: every match is priced identically. According to FanTribe's odds data, all ten fixtures from Saturday lunchtime to Monday night are lined up at 2.00 for the home win, 3.00 for the draw and 2.00 for the away win. For a desk that watches prices move, there is nothing to move: no line deviates, and no favourite has been named anywhere on the card.

The Anfield toss-up

Sunday's meeting of Liverpool and Arsenal is where the level pricing bites hardest. According to the Premier League table, Arsenal travel holding one of only two perfect records in the division, nine points from three, and sit four clear of a Liverpool side that is unbeaten but has drawn twice. The odds make nothing of that gap: home win and away win are the same even-money price, with the draw at 3.00.

Level at the Bridge

Saturday's 12.30pm opener between Chelsea and Manchester United repeats the pattern. Chelsea are fourth on six points; United are 11th on four, per the table. Both are still 2.00, with the draw at 3.00, meaning home advantage, form and everything else is priced at nothing.

No mercy for the strugglers

According to the Premier League table, Tottenham Hotspur are 17th with a single point and no goals scored, yet they host Crystal Palace in Saturday's 5.30pm kick-off as even-money shots. Aston Villa, 18th on the same return, welcome a Fulham side sitting 19th on zero points in the 8pm kick-off: level again. At the very bottom, Coventry City are pointless and goalless, and the same 2.00 to beat Sunderland that Sunderland are to beat them.

Hull City's start is the quiet story of the round: third in the table, unbeaten, with three goals scored and none conceded, according to the Premier League standings. They host Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon and, like everyone else, find no edge in the price. Even leaders Manchester City are refused favourite status at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The crowd has yet to speak

FanTribe's fan prediction data for this round is not yet available at the time of writing, so there is no crowd verdict to set against these flat lines. When the numbers land, the question is whether supporters can see edges the market will not draw: Arsenal's perfect record at Anfield, Hull's momentum, or Newcastle United's unbeaten start against an Everton side also unbeaten in three on Monday night.
