Following four consecutive championships by Manchester City, Liverpool took the 2024-25 Premier League title. Previously, Liverpool won the title in 2020 after two Manchester City titles. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Liverpool and Manchester City join Arsenal as the top three Premier League betting odds favorites. Next, Chelsea leads the second tier of favorites. Manchester City continues to be one of the most radically transformed franchises in any sport. But Liverpool has the confidence of knowing it can handle any team in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Arsenal has been the runner-up the past three campaigns.

Liverpool Reloads
At the onset, the Premier League champions have been on a massive summer spending spree. Most important of all, they might not be finished yet. The Reds are rightly the favorites to retain their crown, with only a few possible issues. Of great concern is getting a new-look team to gel. They must integrate their star arrivals. Namely, Florian Wirtz, Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong. Additionally, Liverpool must find more defensive cover. And then they must work through the incalculable toll on the club from the tragic death of Diogo Jota.
Last year, head coach Arne Slot made a splashy debut with his offshore bookmaker record of 38 wins, nine draws, and nine losses, securing the Premier League title. Now, gamblers ask if it was beginner’s luck or a portent of a budding dynasty.
Is it Arsenal’s Turn?
Following three successive runners-up finishes, the Gunners have a realistic chance to go one better. Having already boasted the league’s best defense last season (conceding just 34 goals), they’ve now significantly strengthened their attack. Of course, much will depend on whether Viktor Gyökeres can bring his spectacular scoring for Sporting CP in Portugal (45 goals in all competitions last season) to the Premier League. Also, Noni Madueke, who joined from Chelsea, could make a big impact.
Manager Mikel Arteta is a former Arsenal player. Since 2019, he has been the head coach. Arsenal has been remarkably consistent under the leadership of Arteta. His career record is 169 wins, 55 draws, and 66 losses in the Premier League.
Is Manchester City an Exhausted Volcano
Certainly, Man City is so desperate to show that last season was just a blip. The team has undergone significant refreshment in the past two windows. First, with Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Aït-Nouri, and Rayan Cherki leading as new arrivals. Most important of all, Ballon d’Or winner Rodri is back to anchor the midfield. But there is a slight suspicion that this team is still in transition.
Manager Pep Guardiola remains in the conversation as the best in the world. Not only did he lead Man City to a 4-peat, he also produced a Continental Treble. Still, despite their success, gamblers are concerned about a continuing decline.
Does Chelsea Offer the Most Value?
Following the Club World Cup, Chelsea is maturing fast and has top talent. To show, Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo lead the parade. Also, João Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, and Jorrel Hato all look like good signings. They will be title contenders unless they fade more than expected.
