2025-26 Premier League Futures: Outright Winner

ClubOdds
Liverpool+188
Arsenal+240
Man City+300
Chelsea+750
Manchester United+3300
Newcastle United+3300
Tottenham+5000

As you’d expect, Arsenal, who have brought in reinforcements this summer, have +240 odds to win the title. Man City is right behind them at +300, while Chelsea rounds out the top four with +750 odds at most soccer betting sites.

Liverpool (+188)

The Merseysiders would’ve gone into this upcoming season as favorites even if they didn’t sign anyone this summer because this is truly a phenomenal side. But the Reds did bring in numerous additions. Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong both joined from Bayer Leverkusen, two of the most exciting young players in the world. Hugo Ekitike is also on his way to Anfield from Eintracht Frankfurt and will give Arne Slot another deadly option in his attack. Sadly, Liverpool lost Diogo Jota to a tragic car accident this summer. He was obviously a critical player in the final third and an even better human being. The title-holders can do right by him by capturing another Premier League triumph. They certainly have all the talent to do so.

Arsenal (+200)

Back-to-back seasons of finishing as a runner-up in the English top flight certainly frustrated Arsenal fans. While they came close in 2023-24, the Gunners ultimately finished 10 points behind Liverpool last season. However, they’ve strengthened the squad in a big way in the summer window. Martin Zubimendi came over from Real Sociedad, while Noni Madueke left Chelsea for the other side of London. Most notably, Arsenal finally secured the signing of Swedish superstar Viktor Gyokeres. The striker was absolutely lethal across the last two seasons at Sporting Lisbon and has all the tools to immediately succeed in the Premier League. The Gunners’ leading scorer last term was Kai Havertz, and he didn’t play more than 23 league games. They need a true frontman, and Gyokeres may be it. He could be the difference between them actually making a push for the title.

Manchester City (+300)

I personally think Manchester City’s best days are behind them. They have an aging midfield, Kevin De Bruyne just left the club, and they simply do not look like the same side as the past. The Cityzens need some more youth in their squad. But, you cannot forget, they still have Erling Haaland banging in goals on a weekly basis. That alone makes them deadly. City finished in third last season, three points behind Arsenal. It was their worst finish in years. Two specific additions this summer should make City better, though. Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan and Rayan Cherki from Lyon, two impressive talents.

Chelsea (+750)

Although they have +750 odds, Chelsea could be a serious dark horse for the Premier League title. The Blues just proved their worth on the grand stage in the Club World Cup, waxing PSG 3-0 in the final. While their road to the showpiece wasn’t all that difficult, Enzo Maresca’s men picked apart the best club in the world. Paris looked absolutely lost. Joao Pedro was an immediate hit upon his arrival and gives Maresca versatility up top because he can play in a variety of positions. Liam Delap is a true target man with strength and an eye for goal. He should play a key part this season after his arrival from Ipswich. From front to back, Chelsea is a strong team. Don’t be surprised if they’re contesting for the main prize.

Premier League Futures Picks

This will be the first of several futures picks over the months to come, but right now, I’m liking Liverpool as a repeat champion. However,do not sleep on Chelsea. I truly believe they have what it takes to go all the way and for that reason, throw some money down on the London outfit as well.
