Manchester City @ 2.20
The champions have been oscillating around even odds since betting opened for the new season. Given their record of winning six of the last seven titles, it’s understandable.
Pep Guardiola’s contract expires in June 2025, and he has hinted that the upcoming campaign might be his last at the Etihad. This could serve as motivation, though it might also lead to complacency, similar to Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp’s announcement last January.
There is some uncertainty due to the Financial Fair Play (FFP) and sustainability charges they face, but on the field, City remains the team to beat. Guardiola’s transfer activity has been minimal, likely due to the existing squad’s high quality.
Arsenal @ 2.90
Arsenal made a more sustained title challenge this time around, improving significantly after dropping off in the 2022/23 season.
Although they fell short on the final day due to City’s brilliance rather than their own failings, retaining key players and potentially adding a true center-forward, such as Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, could bolster their chances. They are also expected to sign Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. If City stumbles, Arsenal might be ready to capitalize.
Liverpool @ 8.00
With Jurgen Klopp’s departure, Liverpool enters a new era under Dutchman Arne Slot. Mohamed Salah, despite exit rumors, appears ready for the new season.
Clubs often struggle in the seasons following a legendary manager’s exit, so patience might be the key with Liverpool as they adapt to Slot’s leadership.
Chelsea @ 21.00
Chelsea begins another new era under Enzo Maresca, appointed as Mauricio Pochettino’s successor. True to form, they have been active in the transfer market, signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Renato Veiga, Marc Guiu, and Tosin Adarabioyo.
The Blues showed signs of cohesion towards the end of last season under Pochettino, and Maresca will aim to build on that momentum, with Cole Palmer likely to be central to his plans.
Manchester United @ 26.00
Manchester United had a turbulent 2023/24 season but ended it by winning the FA Cup. Erik ten Hag remains the manager, and the team has made some moves in the transfer market, including signing Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee and targeting Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite to strengthen the defense.
Ten Hag has won two trophies in two seasons at Old Trafford but still divides opinion among fans and the media.
Newcastle @ 26.00
Newcastle United, under Eddie Howe, struggled compared to their impressive 2022/23 season when they secured a Champions League spot for the first time in 20 years.
Injuries hampered their performance, and despite their wealthy Saudi owners, they had to adhere to financial regulations, which was evident in the sale of midfielder Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest. However, they made some astute free transfers, including signing defender Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth.
Tips for Betting on the Premier League Winner Predictons
Betting on the Premier League winner is straightforward. You are wagering on which team will finish first and lift the trophy at the season’s end. Winning bets are paid out when the league standings are finalized, either on the final day or when a team has mathematically secured the title.
This form of betting is popular in the UK and can yield significant returns, as seen in 2016 when Leicester City’s unexpected title win at odds of 5000/1 resulted in a memorable payout for some bettors.
