Premier League Top-Four Odds: Unbeaten Chelsea's Price Shortens

After last season’s thrilling race for the Champions League places was decided on the final day, betting sites have updated odds on this season's top four finishers.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City seem to be nailed on to finish in the first four, but the remaining place will be keenly fought for by several clubs hoping to enjoy successful seasons.

It is still far too early to make accurate assumptions, but some clubs have laid down a marker with impressive starts, while others have performed well below expectations.

Tottenham, Everton and Bournemouth have made impressive starts, while newly promoted Sunderland are the early surprise packages with two wins from three matches.

On the other hand, top-four contenders Newcastle and Aston Villa remain winless, while Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have endured mediocre starts.

Here, Gambling.com looks at the latest Premier League top four betting odds for the 2025/26 season.

Liverpool, Arsenal And City Odds-On

Football betting sites expect Liverpool (1/14), Arsenal (1/9) and Manchester City (2/5) - all of whom will have loftier ambitions of winning the title -  to secure top four finishes with relative ease next season. 

All three sides began their campaigns with victories, but arguably, City were most impressive in their 4-0 thrashing of Wolves.

Since then, however, Pep Guardiola's side have suffered defeats to Tottenham and Brighton, which has seen their price drift in the market.

Arsenal were not at their best in a 1-0 win over Manchester United, and lost to Liverpool, who top the table with three wins from three. 

Premier League Top Four Odds 

Chelsea's Odds Shorten

Having secured fourth place last season and won the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup, confidence was high at Chelsea going into the new season. 

A 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace was a disappointing start for Enzo Maresca's side, but they have bounced back with wins over West Ham and Fulham.

There has been another influx of new signings this summer, and the Blues will hope to continue their push for a Champions League place in the next few games.

Chelsea are now odds-on for the top four at 2/5.

United Considered Despite Poor Start

Following a disappointing 15th-place finish last term - their lowest since 1973/74 - it would be a huge achievement for Manchester United to secure a top-four finish this season.

Manager Ruben Amorim has attempted a rebuild over the summer, but the inconsistency remains at Old Trafford.

They can be considered lucky to have drawn at Fulham and in beating Burnley, with a number of refereeing decisions going their way.

Goalkeeping blunders have once again caused concern, and defeat to Grimbsy in the Carabao Cup was a new low under Amorim.

Despite their struggles, United are 7/2 for a top-four finish.

Toothless Newcastle On The Drift

Newcastle United's players cannot be blamed for being distracted this summer, and this has been seen in their start to the season.

The Alexander Isak saga is finally over after the transfer window slammed shut, and having made some eye-catching signings, Eddie Howe will be hoping that his new-look team can finally kick into gear.

Under Howe's leadership, Newcastle ended a 70-year trophy drought by winning the EFL Cup and finished fifth in the league last season, securing Champions League qualification.

They have performed well at times so far, but have drifted to 9/2 in the Premier League top four odds after a winless start to the season.

Tottenham Impress Under Frank

The Thomas Frank era at Spurs has been a success thus far, with two wins from three seeing them sit in fourth spot.

A 2-0 win over Manchester City was particularly impressive, although they were brought back to earth with a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

They now have what could be considered an easy run of fixtures, giving them a chance of getting more points on the board.

Spurs can be backed at 5/1 with BetMGM.

Villa And Brighton Among Outsiders

Aston Villa (14/1) just missed out on a Champions League spot last season, and their chances of a top-four finish have taken an early hit after a winless start to the campaign.

Brighton (12/1) are once again proving to be a tough team to beat, while Bournemouth's price has shortened to 18/1 with Betting apps after two wins from three games.

Nottingham Forest (22/1) and Everton (28/1) are also considered to be top-four contenders.
