Premier League Title Odds: Liverpool Favourites To Defend Crown
© PA

Betting sites are offering odds on next season’s Premier League title race, with Liverpool emerging as early favourites to defend their crown.

Following a sensational 2024/25 campaign under new manager Arne Slot - culminating in a 20th top-flight title won with a commanding 10-point lead over second-placed Arsenal - the Reds appear well-positioned to retain the trophy. 

The additions of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong are set to enhance the squad’s depth and dynamism, even in light of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure to Real Madrid.

However, Liverpool's path to consecutive championships will be anything but straightforward. 

Arsenal, hungry to build on another near miss, remain a potent threat, while perennial challengers Manchester City can never be discounted under Pep Guardiola’s watch. 

Meanwhile, Chelsea have reasserted themselves on the world stage by capturing the FIFA Club World Cup, signalling a resurgence that could make them genuine title contenders.

Liverpool will face stiff competition in what could be one of the most closely contested seasons in years, but lead the market at 9/4 with football betting sites to win the Premier League.

Gunners Looking To Go One Better

Despite finishing in second yet again last season, Arsenal have consistently challenged at the top end of the table over the past few years. 

This time around, they’ve added further steel and creativity to their ranks, with players such as Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard bolstering the midfield. 

There’s also hope that attacking reinforcements will give them the firepower needed and Mikel Arteta’s side are 5/2 with betting apps to go one better in 2026. 

While questions remain about their ability to sustain a challenge across an entire season, particularly in the face of European commitments, there is no doubt among bookies that Arsenal will once again be in the mix.

City Preparing To Threaten Again

Manchester City are aiming to bounce back from what, by their high standards, was a disappointing campaign. 

For the first time since Guardiola took charge, they ended the 2024/25 season without silverware and looked unusually fragile, suffering nine league defeats. 

The ageing core of the squad and the departure of key figures such as Kevin De Bruyne have sparked concerns, though it would be foolish to write them off. 

With Guardiola at the helm and a transfer war chest at his disposal, City remain a serious threat to anyone and are 3/1 in the Premier League title odds.

World Champions Chelsea Have Momentum

Just behind the leading trio, Chelsea are quietly building momentum for what could be an unlikely title push. 

Under Enzo Maresca, the Blues ended last season with a flourish, capped by victory in the final of the Europa Conference League. 

The development of young stars like Cole Palmer and steady progress in other key areas, such as the addition of Joao Perdo, suggest they could bridge the gap on the frontrunners with a bit of consistency. 

Their success in the Club World Cup will certainly have turned heads, and there is growing belief at Stamford Bridge with the Blues 9/1 to win the Premier League in 2026.

Newcastle Head The Chasing Pack

European experience has toughened Eddie Howe’s Newcastle team, and smart recruitment could push them into the top-four conversation. Though they are 33/1 to go all the way and win the Premier League in 2026.

Manchester United (40/1) remain a club in flux. A 15th-placed finish last season marked one of their worst-ever league campaigns, and continuing uncertainty around the manager has fuelled pessimism. 

Tottenham, despite a recent change in the dugout and a Europa League title to their name, face an uphill battle to break into the elite tier with Thomas Franks’ side 50/1 for the title.

Further down the list, Aston Villa (100/1), Brighton (250/1) and Nottingham Forest (250/1) would all cause a huge shock if they were to win the Premier League.
