A New Battle in England

The 2025-26 Premier League season is about to kick off and, as always, the title race promises excitement from start to finish. The three main contenders —Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City— once again take center stage, although the bookmakers show a clear gap in their chances of lifting the trophy. Behind them, Chelsea and Manchester United complete the top five, but with far slimmer hopes.

Liverpool Lead the Odds

Arne Slot’s side appears as the main favorite to lift the trophy, with a 33% chance. The presence of Mohamed Salah as the attacking leader and a refreshed squad ready to compete on all fronts have boosted the bettors’ confidence. The Reds are determined to reign in England once again and end City’s recent dominance.

Arsenal and Manchester City, the Main Challengers

In second place is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, with a 28% chance. The Gunners have kept the core of the squad that pushed for the title until the very end last season and are looking to take that final step. The youth and talent of stars like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard are their biggest weapons.

The defending champions, Manchester City, surprisingly sit at just 21% in the predictions. Despite having Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, doubts about their squad and a more balanced competition have lowered their odds. Even so, Pep Guardiola’s side knows what it takes to win under pressure and can’t be ruled out.

Chelsea and Manchester United in Pursuit

Further back are Chelsea (9%) and Manchester United (3%). The Blues are betting on their new project to climb the table, while Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils need a strong season to regain relevance.

The Numbers Are on the Table

The odds point to a Liverpool title, but the Premier League has always been fertile ground for surprises. Every team will take the field with one clear goal: to break the stats and stop the Reds from lifting the trophy.
