Favorites to win the Premier League 

Liverpool

Liverpool will enter the 2025-26 season as the defending Champions, and they'll be looking to buck an unwanted trend. 

The last time the Reds successfully defended their title was in 1982-83 and 1983-84, long before the existence of the Premier League we know today. 

With the way the summer transfer market shaped out, the addition of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong has bolstered the Reds' starting XI, and the smart money would be on them as the current betting favorites. 

Arsenal

You really could make a case for either Arsenal or Man City as to who is best suited to dethrone Liverpool next May. 

The addition of Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon gives the Gunners a much-needed No. 9 and one that can score goals with just a half-chance. 

The problem with Arsenal is that they continue to buckle under pressure. With high expectations coming into the season across all fronts (domestic and European), Mikel Arteta's chair could be heating up if Arsenal don't get off to a flying start.

Understanding EPL betting odds

EPL futures odds are constantly adjusted throughout the offseason due to player transfers and injuries. Once the season begins, title odds will change as teams win and lose games and as more players get hurt or suspended. Sportsbooks will also adjust EPL odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.

EPL futures odds will usually look like this:

Manchester United +350

This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $350 if Manchester City wins the EPL Championship. If it's close to the end of the competition, or a club has been particularly dominant, you might see them with a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds. 

Liverpool -500

This means that you would need to bet $500 to win just $100 on a Liverpool championship.
