Alternative Premier League Table: What if the bookies' favourites had won every match?

Definitive proof that the bookies really DON'T get it right every time 

Arsene Wenger SHOULD be a big fan of bookmakers

"The bookies know best" is an old saying many football fans have heard in the past.
Many times, supporters have lost money backing the less favoured team and cursed their bet. "Why didn't I go with the favourite?" they howl. "The bookies made them favourites for a good reason - damn my inferior predicting abilities!"

Well, we have good news for those despairing punters. The Alternative Premier League table you can see below proves bookmakers regularly get their football predictions wrong.

It shows how the table would look if the bookies' favourite had won every Premier League game played this season.
And it's surprisingly inaccurate:

Alternative League Table

IF BOOKIES HAD GOT EVERY MATCH RIGHT
1	Arsenal	72
2	Manchester City	69
3	Manchester United	66
4	Chelsea	63
5	Tottenham Hotspur	57
6	Liverpool	51
7	Southampton	51
8	Everton	39
9	Leicester City	36
10	Swansea City	36
11	Crystal Palace	27
12	Bournemouth	27
13	West Ham United	27
14	Stoke City	24
15	Norwich	21
16	Watford	21
17	Aston Villa	18
18	West Bromwich Albion	18
19	Newcastle United	18
20	Sunderland	9

Seeing Leicester drop to ninth is no great surprise - they continue to be considered underdogs in many games, despite their ludicrously outstanding run of form.

That leaves Arsenal and Man City in first and second - again, not a massive shock.

 But Chelsea in fourth? Clearly, the bookies keep assuming The Blues are going to win matches that they don't. As for West Ham (13th) and Sunderland (NINE points adrift at the bottom) - clearly the men who make the odds aren't huge fans…
