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, a few other teams, such as the defending champions, may be worth considering in the futures markets. Below, we’ll look at the updated odds to win the EPL.

Odds as of December 11, 2025
Arsenal (-150 to -170):
Arsenal's last matches - 2025-26 season:
GW15: Aston Villa - Arsenal 2-1 (L)
GW14: Arsenal - Brentford 2-0 (W)
GW13: Chelsea - Arsenal 1-1 (D)
GW12: Arsenal - Tottenham 4-1 (W)
GW11: Sunderland - Arsenal 2-2 (D)
GW10: Burnley - Arsenal 2-0 (W)
The legendary Arsenal Football Club has fallen just short of the finish line over the past three seasons. In 38 EPL matches during the 2024-25 season, Arsenal went 20-14-4, earning 74 points and finishing 10 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. It did not take long for them to rebound, though, as Arsenal sits atop the EPL standings with a 10-3-2 record and 33 points.
Manchester City (+135 to +175):
Man City's last matches - 2025-26 season:
GW15: Man City - Sunderland 3-0 (W)
GW14: Fulham - Man City 5-4 (W)
GW13: Man City - Leeds 3-2 (W)
GW12: Newcastle - Man City 2-1 (L)
GW11: Man City - Liverpool 3-0 (W)
GW10: Man City - Bournemouth 3-1 (W)
A fifth consecutive title was not in the cards for Manchester City. Across 38 matches for the 2024-25 season, Man City went 21-8-9 with a goal differential of (+28). With that, Man City finished with 71 points. As they look to reclaim the EPL crown, Man City started the season with a 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton. Over their last six matches, Man City has gone 5-1, putting them in second place with 31 points.
Aston Villa (+2500 to +2700):
Aston Villa's last matches - 2025-26 season:
GW15: Aston Villa - Arsenal 2-1 (W)
GW14: Brighton - Aston Villa 4-3 (W)
GW13: Aston Villa - Wolverhampton 1-0 (W)
GW12: Leeds - Aston Villa 2-1 (W)
GW11: Aston Villa - Bournemouth 4-0 (W)
GW10: Liverpool - Aston Villa 2-0 (L)
There isn't a team in the EPL that is playing better than Aston Villa at the moment. With a 2-1 win over Arsenal, they have won five straight matches, which has propelled them into third with a 9-3-3 record and 30 points. Aston Villa will be tested over their next three games, though, as two of them will come against Man United and Chelsea, who are both five points back.

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.
