Get best prices on Man City or Chelsea winning Premier League
Published:As another mouth-watering season of English football lies in prospect, Ladbrokes are offering punters the chance to back a league winner at a better price than all competitors.
With bets allowed up to a stake of £50, Ladbrokes customers will be able to select league winners either as single or multiple bets, and a wide array of tempting options are available throughout the top four tiers of English football.
Manchester City clinched a maiden Premier League title last term, and they are 13/10 to retain their crown, though punters backing them would hope for a safer return than last season, when it took a final-day injury-time winner to land the trophy.
Their local rivals Manchester United are 13/5 to re-assert their dominance on the top tier meanwhile, as they go in search of a 20th English title after a rare trophy-less campaign in 2011/2012.
Champions League winners Chelsea are thought to be the only other serious contenders for the title, with the Blues 5/1 shots to garner league silverware under Roberto Di Matteo.
Elsewhere, recently-relegated Bolton enjoy 15/2 favouritism for Championship glory, and in Owen Coyle they have a manager who has experienced promotion from the league in the past, albeit via the play-offs.
Other relegated sides Wolves and Blackburn are also favourable, at 9/1 and 12/1 respectively, while 8/1 Leicester will be fancied by many after heavy summer investment.
Lower down the ladder, Sheffield United are the leading fancies at 6/1 to claim the League One title at the second attempt, while Paolo Di Canio’s Swindon are 9/1 to win consecutive league championships.
Big spending Fleetwood are 6/1 second-favourites for League Two success meanwhile after last season’s promotion from the Blue Square Premier, and a rumoured loan move for Joey Barton could aid their hopes no end.
Rotherham are 7/2 favourites to top the table though, and will hope that Lewis Grabban, who hit 21 goals for the Millers last season, can fire them to glory.
