English Premier League fans have become accustomed to seeing Manchester City win the league. Over the last eight seasons, Manchester City has won the championship six times and has held the trophy for four consecutive seasons, most recently in the 2023-24 season. However, their dominance over the league did not carry into the 2024-25 season, as they finished in 3rd place, while Liverpool won the league.
With the 2025-26 campaign underway, Arsenal sits as the favorite on FanDuel after finishing as the runner-up over the past three seasons. While Arsenal has been dominant to start the season, there are a few other teams, such as the defending champions, that may be worth considering in the futures markets. Below, we’ll look at the updated odds to win the EPL.

In 38 EPL matches during the 2024-25 season, Arsenal went 20-14-4, earning 74 points and placing them ten points behind Liverpool. In the hopes of avoiding second place next season and winning the league, Arsenal signed Noni Madueke from Chelsea and began the 2025-26 season with two wins before falling to Liverpool by one goal.

So, you want to cash in on a future bet on the EPL champion? Well, like all things in sports betting, there are no guarantees. However, bettors can narrow the field by focusing on which clubs are most successful when playing away from home. Over the past decade of EPL play, the champion has not only been dominant at home but also proven to be one of the most effective clubs in hostile stadiums.
Most fans and bettors expect the elite-level EPL clubs to win all of their home fixtures, but what separates the champions is their ability to go on the road to a mediocre opponent looking to pull an upset and walk away with three points.
Take the 2024-25 season, for example. Liverpool ran away with the league with an 11-5-2 road record, earning 38 points. Yes, the 14 fixtures they won at home were impressive, but the 11 road victories they secured helped set them apart from Arsenal, who went 8-8-2 on the road for 32 points.
Again, this may not be a perfect science, but it is certainly a way to determine who the genuine contenders are, as opposed to the EPL pretenders.
