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.
As we fans start to look ahead to the 2025-26 campaign, Liverpool has opened as the favorite on FanDuel after winning their first title since the 2019-20 season. While Liverpool is undoubtedly on track to be dominant again, there are a few other teams, such as Arsenal, that may be worth considering in the futures markets. Below, we’ll look at the updated odds to win the EPL.

Odds as of July 9, 2025
Liverpool (+185 to +200): Behind Mo Salah, Liverpool was not only able to win the league with four matches remaining in the season, but they also led the league in scoring with 86 goals. Coming off their 25-9-4 record for 84 points, Liverpool looks to be in a good position to defend their EPL title.
Arsenal (+220 to +225): 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 placing them ten points behind Liverpool. In the hopes of avoiding second place next season and winning the league, it looks as if Arsenal will be adding Noni Madueke from Chelsea, as they also remain in the mix for a few other big-name potential transfers.
Manchester City (+250): 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, and as they look to get back on top of the EPL during the 2025-26 season, they are currently in hot pursuit of Rodrygo in the transfer market, as he would add a significant boost to the club.

So you want to cash 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 on the road. Over the past decade of EPL play, the champion has not only been dominant at home, but they’ve also proven to be one of the most effective clubs in hostile opposing 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 by posting an 11-5-2 record on the road, which earned them 38 points. Sure, the 14 fixtures they won at home were great, but the 11 road victories they secured helped separate them 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.
