Premier League Week 3 Projections

Week three of the Premier League is here and even though the transfer market is at the forefront with the window closing there are games to be played and projections to be made.

This week there are even more close match ups and just one game with a team expected to win over 50% of the time.

For Arsenal things could really meltdown for the fans with going to Anfield as underdogs. A second loss in a row plus the expected inactivity on the in goings in the transfer market could see things turn absolutely toxic among the fan base.

Lastly here is the latest full season projections:

The title race has tightened up with Manchester City drawing against Everton last weekend combined with Manchester United's second 4-0 win and Liverpool also winning. Arsenal's loss at Stoke saw them drop from second title favorites to the sweet comfort of 4th.

The race for top 4 is incredibly tight, with ten teams with at least a 10% chance of being a part of that group. Chelsea have seen their odds drop the most since the start of the season going from 46.8% pre-season to 38% this week while Manchester United have improved their odds the most going from 45.9% to 61%.

In the relegation battle, there are seven teams with at least a 15% chance of going down. Newcastle have moved to joint worst odds with Brighton after two losses to start the season. Newcastle has seen their relegation odds increase 23% since the preseason projection going from 32% to 55%. If Newcastle can't get at least a point against West Ham at home the season might be in jeopardy of being over for them.
