Manchester City is a -575 road favorite on the Premier League odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Perhaps best known for its high-powered offense, Manchester City has been winning games with its sensational play on defense of late giving up zero goals in each of its last four matches and in a remarkable 10 of its last 12 matches.
Brighton will try to crack the code at home as a +1500 underdog to win and a +700 underdog to force a draw to spoil City’s celebration.
Liverpool (-315) will look to wrap up the season with a win at home against Wolverhampton (+900 to win, +450 to draw) on Sunday. If Liverpool picks up a win in this one it will finish the season with 97 points; more points than any other previous English Premier League champion has ever earned with the exception of last year’s 100-point Manchester City club. Liverpool has lost only one game all season with a fantastic 29-7-1 record, yet still doesn’t have control of its own destiny heading into the final gameweek.
On the bright side for Liverpool, the team did advance to the Champions League Final with a shocking 4-0 win over Barcelona on Tuesday. It may also have the league’s top goal scorer in Mohamed Salah, who is a -300 favorite at online betting sites to win the award over Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero (+350), teammate Sadio Mane (+1200) and Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (+1400). Salah enters action with 22 goals as the other three on this list are sitting on 20.

Tottenham is a +110 favorite at home against Everton (+230 to win, +250 to draw) while Chelsea is a slight +150 road favorite visiting Leicester City (+170 to win, +260 to draw).
