Premier League Winners Odds

Here are our predictions for the 2024/25 Premier League season at the top end of the table, focussing on the best odds surrounding the potential league winners.

All odds are subject to change.

Arsenal - 6/4

After entering the campaign as narrow 2nd favourites for the title, the Gunners have now flipped the switch and lead the way in the punters' preference for prospective Premier League champions. The series of events that have led to a flipping of the consensus have been many, ranging from Rodri's ACL injury to Arsenal's watertight defensive showings, but it's not too hard to see why many now side with the North London club.

With the signing of Riccardo Califiori and the return of previously injured Dutch defender Jurriën Timber, Arsenal's defensive depth is frightening, and for a team that's founded on its defensive strength, there is a feeling that a big injury to a William Saliba, or a Gabriel Magalhães, could not derail their title charge in the way it did in 2022-23, for example.

Kai Havertz, who has six goals in ten games this season, appears to have found a new gear, potentially addressing Arsenal's long-standing striker problem, while Bukayo Saka, with three goals and seven assists, looks ready to make a serious run at the PFA Player of the Year award.

With strong performances against the likes of Manchester City and PSG in the first couple of months of the season, Arsenal's metal has already been firmly tested and they've passed with flying colours. One of Arsenal's most tormenting nemesis once said: "Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles". Well, if Alex Ferguson spent his last five or six years as Manchester United manager battling against this Arsenal side, the rivalry may not have been quite so one-sided.

Manchester City - 7/4

By the breadth of a hair, Manchester City are now the 2nd favourites for the Premier League title. Results haven't been a major issue for Pep Guardiola's side but performances perhaps haven't been as dominant as we've come to expect from the men in blue. That isn't too far detached from what we saw for much of last season, to be fair, where City were often quite uninspiring in terms of their performance standard but remained very adept at finding ways to win games.

The sight of City's laboured attempts to break down a ten-man Arsenal side at the Etihad was starkly revealing and for a team known for its elaborate problem-solving abilities, it could be perceived, amongst other things, as evidence of a side past its peak.

There is also the major factor of the ACL injury to midfielder Rodri. The Spaniard, arguably City's most important player, is indispensable and irreplaceable, evidenced by the number of minutes he played last season, and his season-long absence is going to be hugely impactful.

City still have Erling Haaland, of course, and are highly unlikely to finish anywhere below 2nd, but it feels like the Sky Blues have a lot working against them this season and will be faced with a level of adversity that might just allow Arsenal to pip them to top spot.

Liverpool - 10/3

Liverpool came into the season out at 7/1 to be crowned Premier League champions and after two months of football, their chances have doubled - at least as far as the bookmakers are concerned. The Reds have made a very strong start to life under new manager Arne Slot and sit top of the league table with 18 points. Liverpool look strong defensively and their forwards are firing on all cylinders, and while many doubt the idea they can remain in contention with City and Arsenal, they have all the foundations of a top team.

Ryan Gravenberch's conversion from a box-to-box midfielder to a deep-lying first receiver has thus far looked a masterstroke by Slot and has addressed what was a glaring issue in the team coming into the campaign.

Liverpool aren't blessed with depth in defence or in midfield but they have immense levels of quality in key positions and if, and only if, they can keep their key players fit and firing, they might just have a chance.

Chelsea - 20/1

Along with Liverpool, Chelsea have been one of the surprise packages so far this season. The appointment of manager Enzo Maresca and the departure of Mauricio Pochettino was a polarising move that was met with swathes of scepticism, but the early evidence is positive.

Maresca has shown himself to be tactically flexible and has a very settled starting XI, with the likes of Levi Colwill and Noni Madueke making huge strides in their performances - particularly the latter, who is proving to be a talisman in the back line.

There were question marks over whether or not star man Cole Palmer would be able to maintain the same level of output he produced under Pochettino, with the contrasting approach of Maresca not necessarily as conducive to maximising Palmer's qualities as it was under the Argentine, but given he has eleven goal contributions in nine games so far there's plenty of reason to believe Palmer can continue to grow as a major force in this league.

A title win for Chelsea is highly improbable, but a top four finish would be a major success when compared with what this group achieved last season, and if they can nail that then they'll fancy themselves to contend for the Premier League crown in the next couple of seasons.

Tottenham - 50/1

Tottenham are out at 50/1 to win the Premier League title and that feels about right. Spurs aren't going to be champions this year, despite the investment in the squad, but their summer transfer window largely made it clear that title contention was never their intention.

The intention is that Spurs will this season develop their young core, the likes of Mikey Moore, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, while competing for Champions League football. The latter feels uncertain, with Ange Postecoglou's side blowing hot and cold in the early portion of the campaign. When they're on it, they're on it, but when they're bad, they can be really poor.

Top four is a must for Spurs this season or questions will start to be asked about the sustainability of the current prospect under Postecoglou.

Manchester United - 100/1

At odds of 100/1, we have Manchester United. Not only will the Red Devils not win the title, but a finish outside of the top four currently looks extremely likely, once again. United's inability to contend for the Premier League title since the departure of Alex Ferguson is becoming tedious and many fans will be left wondering when their turn will again come around.

Manager Erik ten Hag feels, at this point, unlikely to end the season in the Old Trafford dugout so a potential managerial replacement could still yield mild success. Regardless, United fans' only hope is that the club can, at some point, show signs of a foundation that can be built upon in the coming years.

Aston Villa - 100/1

Last season's 4th-place finishers, Aston Villa, are also out at 100/1. It feels harsh to group Villa in with United given they're quite clearly a better team. The issue for them this year is that they're now having to juggle Champions League football with the Premier League, something that's proved to be exceptionally tricky for clubs outside of the established elite in England.

Villa have already lost Ezri Konsa and Amadou Onana to injury in the past week and they'll likely have to deal with more of that down the line. Unfortunately, Villa don't have the kind of squad depth needed to deal with high-profile injuries so unless they can somehow keep a fully fit squad, the league season will prove trickier to navigate than last season.

That shouldn't totally overshadow the positive aspects of the first few months of the campaign, though, as the emergence of Jhon Durán as a breakout star has been a fantastic spectacle, while Morgan Rogers continues to develop at a rapid pace.

Another top four finish would represent an excellent season for Villa, but title contention is not a serious conversation at this time.
