The Citizens added an exclamation point to their memorable year the following day. Chelsea made the trip to Etihad Stadium for a 1-0 loss at Manchester City. This was far less drama compared to how the 2021-22 season finished in the Premier League.

Manchester City Poised To Break EPL Record
There are only two Premier League squads that have won three consecutive EPL titles. After being crowned 2022-23 champs, Manchester City joined Manchester United as the only clubs in Premier League history to win three straight titles.
Manchester United won three league championships from 1998 to 2001. They did the same from 2006 to 2009. It took over a decade later for the second franchise in Premier League history to do the same.
Seeing Manchester United’s bitter rival tie their record has to be tough for supporters of the Red Devils. There is a good chance that Manchester City will break the record next season.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada, Manchester City is a solid favorite to win the 2023-24 Premier League season championship. Currently, Manchester City has -150 odds to lift the trophy next year.
With an implied probability of 60%, there is a better chance of Manchester City winning another Premier League championship than not. If this happens, Manchester City will stand by itself as the only EPL club to win four straight league championships.
Despite having the second-best odds, Arsenal is well behind in the betting markets at +700. Manchester United rounds out the Top 3 with +800 odds to win the Premier League next season.
Champions League Title In Reach For Manchester City
Manchester City managed to hold solid form against Chelsea following a 4-0 clinic against Real Madrid last Wednesday.
It was as perfect of an effort that we’ve seen from Manchester City all season. Conversely, Real Madrid was at their worst in a horrific display of incompetence in Manchester at Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City notched the 5-1 win on aggregate to advance to the Champions League Final. Inter Milan finished off AC Milan with a 3-0 win on aggregate to clear their intercity rivals in the semifinal.
The latest Champions League odds at Bovada suggest that Manchester City will be too much for Inter Milan. The Citizens are favored with -260 odds to win the Champions League on June 10.
For a club playing with a plethora of confidence recently, the Champions League odds make plenty of sense. Inter Milan is third in the Serie A table, with a record of 21-3-12 and 66 points.
Currently, Manchester City hasn’t lost a match since a 1-0 final against Tottenham Hotspur on February 5. Man City has settled for four draws since then, but it has been nearly four months since they’ve lost.
Erling Haaland Sets Premier League Record, Closing In On Golden Boot
While it is not official yet, Erling Haaland has all but locked up the 2022-23 Golden Boot in the Premier League. In preseason EPL Golden Boot odds, Haaland was favored to win the award with +275 odds.
Before the calendar turned to 2023, the Norwegian was already a heavy favorite to win at -1000 odds. Considering the insane pace that Haaland was scoring at, it still wasn’t the worst value at online betting sites.
Thanks to everyone for the support and love, these memories will last a lifetime! 💙 🏆 pic.twitter.com/8ZMJ6iNjsE

Five months later, Haaland broke the Premier League record with more than 35 goals in a single campaign. The striker has notched an incredible 36 goals through 33 league matches in the Premier League.
Haaland’s 36 goals not only broke the 38-match record, but also beat the 42-match EPL record. His incredible accomplishment includes an average of more than 1 goal per 90 minutes.
Under contract for the next four years in Man City, the 22-year-old will spend the prime years of his career as a member of the Citizens. The only question is if Haaland can break his own record in the future.
Oddsmakers have confidentially listed Haaland as the favorite to win the EPL Golden Boot next year, as well. Barring an injury or another serious incident, Haaland is in the driver’s seat for another big-time effort in 2023-24.
Available only at Bovada, the online bookmaker is offering a special Premier League multi-bet for the 2023-24 season. At +175 odds, you can bet on Man City winning the 2023-24 Premier League Championship and Haaland finishing as the top scorer in the league.
