Football fans are in disbelief after seeing what Paddy Power has done ahead of Liverpool’s crucial match against Manchester City.
On Sunday afternoon, fans will witness one of the most highly anticipated Premier League games of the season as reigning champions Manchester City host league leaders Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.
The stakes were already high, but Arsenal’s unexpected 1-0 home defeat to West Ham on Saturday raised them even further. Following that result, Paddy Power made a surprising announcement on social media, leaving fans stunned.
Saturday’s outcome in London ensures Liverpool will maintain their eight-point lead over Arsenal, regardless of the result at the Etihad. With only 12 matches left in the season, Arsenal’s chances of catching Liverpool seem increasingly slim.
Paddy Power appears to share this sentiment, as they have decided to pay out all bets placed on Liverpool winning the 2024/25 Premier League title—despite three months still remaining in the season.
Announcing the decision on X, the betting company stated: “We’ve seen enough. With Arsenal losing to West Ham, the title race is as good as over. So we’re paying out on Liverpool to win the 2024/2025 Premier League.”
Fans reacted with a mix of amusement and shock. One commented: “This bookie is hilarious, definitely seen enough. Easiest Premier League title ever.” Another added: “This is a different level of disrespect, and we fully deserve it.” A third simply joked: “Stay humble, eh?”
Several fans shared their winning bet slips in the comments, with one bettor revealing a £750 payout after placing a £100 bet on Liverpool earlier in the season.
As of now, Paddy Power has Liverpool as favorites to win against Manchester City on Sunday, offering odds of 23/20, while a City victory is priced at 19/10.
