Who are the favourites to win the Premier League?
Arsenal
Having won the Premier League last season and being one of the only top teams to have a settled manager and squad, Arsenal have the shortest odds across all of our selected bookmakers to win the league again.
The Gunners finally got the monkey off their back in 2025/26 after three successive second-place finishes, and the added know-how of winning the title puts them in a strong position to do so again this season.
Arsenal strengthened in the transfer window with the marquee signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for a reported £75m, while Christos Tzolis (£34m from Club Brugge) impressed in pre-season and showed his worth with two assists in their 3-0 triumph over Man City in the Community Shield.
The Gunners also signed sufficient cover for the injured William Saliba in the form of Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa for a reported £55m, while the formidable spine of David Raya, Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice are all ready to kick on.
Mikel Arteta’s men won their first four games, but lost their fifth in unusual fashion before the international break, as they went down 3-0 at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Recovering with wins against Leeds United and Nottingham Forest sees Arsenal in second place at the time of writing, three points behind league leaders Man City.
Current price range: to 4/9 (William Hill) to 8/15 (Ladbrokes). Best available: 8/15 (Ladbrokes).
Manchester City
Man City were Arsenal’s closest challengers last season, and our selected bookmakers are expecting the same outcome again.
After beating the Gunners 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in April, the Cityzens closed the gap at the top of the table to them to just three points with a game in hand.
Pep Guardiola’s men then leapfrogged Arsenal into top spot on goals scored, and having won four of the previous five Premier League titles, many tipped them to do so again.
However, that was not what unfolded and after losing Guardiola, Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Rodri among others over the summer, many are predicting Man City to fall short again.
Enzo Maresca was heavily backed in the transfer market though, and sit top of the table with a perfect seven wins, although it must be questioned what they truly mean with possible sanctions coming the club’s way.
Current price range: 3/1 (Ladbrokes) to 4/1 (bet365). Best available: 4/1 (bet365).
Chelsea
After the first few rounds of Premier League fixtures, Chelsea moved up to third-favourites with our selected bookmakers to win the title.
The Blues boast a fearsome front three of Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and new £117m signing from Villa Morgan Rogers, who are already causing Premier League defences problems.
Having been busy yet again in the transfer window, Chelsea have a deep squad that can really challenge given they are out of European competition, and a manager in Xabi Alonso who has won a major league title before with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
What is most holding the Blues back is their defence, having conceded far more goals than the likes of Arsenal and Man City.
Current price range: 9/1 (Ladbrokes) to 10/1 (bet365, BetMGM, William Hill, Betfred). Best available: 10/1 (bet365, BetMGM, William Hill, Betfred).
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion are perhaps surprisingly fourth-favourites with our selected bookmakers to win the title.
The Seagulls finished eighth last season and not part of the traditional “big six”, but have already upset the odds with their start.
They headed into the international break in third, after beating champions Arsenal convincingly on home soil.
Fabian Hurzeler is doing a great job, considering his team have missed key players like Yankuba Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma through injury too.
They are an outside shot at the moment, but could we see the first Premier League winner outside of the “big six” since the famous 5000/1 outsiders Leicester City?
Current price range: 14/1 (bet365) to 16/1 (BetMGM, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Betfred). Best available: 16/1 (BetMGM, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Betfred).
Liverpool
Having won the Premier League title in 2024/25, Liverpool’s season was poor by their standards, as they slumped to a fifth-place finish.
It cost Arne Slot his job, and he was consequently replaced by Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola.
The likes of Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate also left the club over the summer, and despite new additions like Victor Munoz (£34.5m from Osasuna), Ronald Araujo (loan from Barcelona) and Bradley Barcola (£123m from Paris Saint-Germain) being brought in, Liverpool do still seem short in some areas of the pitch.
Having won two titles across the last seven seasons though, the Reds should not be completely ruled out, and our selected bookmakers all have them as third-favourites.
The Reds were unbeaten after five matches, but lost 3-0 at home to Man City in the first game after the Cityzens were found guilty.
Current price range: 14/1 (Ladbrokes) to 20/1 (bet365). Best available: 20/1 (bet365).

Premier League outright prediction / tip
- Our pick: Arsenal
- Best odds: Ladbrokes
- Reasoning: Arsenal now have the know-how to win the title, they have a settled manager and squad and strengthened significantly in the transfer window.
- Risk: William Saliba is injured and weakens Arsenal defensively, the Gunners may target the Champions League instead and they still lack a superstar in attack after missing out on Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior and Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez.
How do Premier League outright winner odds work?
An outright bet on the Premier League winner is a single wager on which team will lift the trophy at the end of the season on 30 May, 2027.
The bet remains active until either your selected team has mathematically won the title or it is mathematically impossible for them to.
Odds move in response to results, injuries, suspensions and overall market sentiment: a dominant performance typically shortens a team’s price, while a narrow win or key injury can cause it to drift.
Most major bookmakers, including all five listed in the table above, offer cash-out functionality on outright bets during the Premier League season, which can be used to reduce exposure if a team enters a particularly difficult part of the draw.
