Premier League title odds and prediction 2024/25: Man City favourites, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd trail

MANCHESTER CITY are eyeing a remarkable five-in-a-row when they attempt to defend their Premier League title.

But their odds with bookmakers William Hill have drifted from an odds-on price to the 6/5 on offer to clinch the astonishing feat.

As usual, there’s a host of clubs in behind who are desperate to topple Pep Guardiola’s men.

Premier League 24/45 title odds

Manchester City 6/5

Would be rather daft if anyone else was favourite, wouldn’t it?

Pep’s men have dominated English football in recent seasons – winning the last four top divisions – and there’s no sign of that stopping, despite Arsenal pushing them all the way last term.

Are on the drift though having been odds-on. You wonder if some are counting on the charges hanging over them and how any sanctions could harm their title defence.

Arsenal 13/8

Really short price but pushed City all the way last year, with their chances going down to the final day.

Finished two points behind but after a stellar season, the challenge will be to replicate that once again.

Signed Riccardo Calafiori for big money but still no world-class finisher to call upon in the centre forward position. How much damage will that do to their hopes?

Liverpool 13/2

A period of transition at Anfield? Perhaps. But the players reportedly really enjoying working under Arne Slot.

Interestingly and surprisingly, they’re the only Premier League side to have made no signings in the summer window.

Finished 3rd, 2nd, 5th and 3rd in last three seasons so improvement definitely needed.

Chelsea 18/1

Now we reach those at much, much bigger prices, with the title seemingly a three-horse race ahead of it getting underway.

Chelsea haven’t had a great pre-season results wise and under new management, it could take a while to really get going.

Have spent over £100million again already this summer on the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen and Marc Guiu and look set to lose Conor Gallagher who skippered the team for much of last season.

Man Utd 22/1

It didn’t look likely for much of last season but Erik ten Hag does get the beginning of a new campaign to try and take Manchester United back challenging.

Will be desperate to build on last season’s FA Cup success, though injuries in pre-season haven’t helped – including to new boy Leny Yoro, signed for big money.

Joshua Zirkzee the only other incoming this summer and it would take something special to see them back competing at the top of the table on recent evidence.

Outsiders

Newcastle (28/1) do have the “luxury” of no European football to distract them from league business and secured top four the last time they had a free run.

Tottenham (28/1) just missed out on the Champions League last time out and that will likely be their ceiling again, though Ange Postecoglou won’t agree.

Aston Villa (50/1) are the only other double figure price and are set for another great season and have recruited very well in the summer. May well find balancing Champions League football with the league a big challenge, though.
