One quarter of the Premier League season has gone by, and it has provided some spectacular matches for us to enjoy. It’s been a while since the English top tier featured such an intense and super close battle for the top positions. There is currently a 4-point difference between the 2nd and 9th positions.
Arsenal leads the way as the 1st placed team, having 4 points more than Manchester City in the 2nd spot. The current standings gave bookmakers an opportunity to adjust their odds based on more accurate predictions. Let’s see their current forecast for the Premier League 2025/26 season.
Sportsbooks’ Predictions on the Premier League Winner
At this stage, most bookmakers agree on the ultimate favourite to win the Premier League. The team in question is Arsenal, which is on top of the table with 8 wins, 2 draws, and only one loss. We should also note that it managed to concede just 5 goals.
The current odds for Arsenal to win the league are 3/4 (1.75). Right behind it is Manchester City with odds of 5/2 (3.50). The Citizens didn’t have a bad season, but they did encounter a couple of setbacks. However, let’s not forget what Pep Guardiola’s men are capable of, as they can quickly turn things around.
Regular sportsbooks and bookies with live betting features give Liverpool 11/1 (12.00) odds on winning the Premier League. The current champions are in bad form, but there is still time to bounce back.
Next up, we have Chelsea, which is doing much better than last season. This team is currently in the 3rd spot, and it has 25/1 (26.00) chances of winning the league.
After a long period in the dark, Manchester United are finally among the top 5 favourites. Bookmakers give this club 50/1 (51.00) odds for winning. However, the biggest surprise of the season is Sunderland, as it’s currently in the 4th position. The odds for this club to get the trophy are 200/1 (201.00).
The EPL Top 4 Finishers and Relegation Prediction for Season 2025/26
According to the bookmakers, there are a couple of ultimate favourites to finish among the top 4. Those are Arsenal (1/66), Manchester City (1/7), Liverpool (4/11), and Chelsea (10/11).
The teams that will try to cause a setback are Manchester United (5/2), Tottenham (9/1), Bournemouth (9/1), Newcastle (10/1), Aston Villa (10/1), Brighton (11/1), and Crystal Palace (12/1).
Now, it’s time to focus on the unfortunate teams that have the most chances of relegation from the Premier League. The team with the best odds for doing that is Wolverhampton, which currently sits at the bottom with 2 points. Most sportsbooks give this team 1/7 (1.14) odds of relegation.
Burnley is the next favourite to drop to the Championship with odds of 1/3 (1.33). At the moment, this side is right above the relegation zone due to better goal difference than West Ham.
Speaking of the Hammers, they are next on the relegation list with odds set at 7/5 (2.40). Then, we have Leeds (7/4), Nottingham Forest (3/1), and Fulham (6/1). They currently occupy the 16th, 19th, and 15th positions, respectively.
Who’s Going to Be the Premier League Top Goalscorer?
Besides the winners, top 4 finishers, relegation, and table standings, bookmakers also provided predictions on the top goalscorers. The ultimate favourite is no other than Erling Haaland. He scored the most goals so far after scoring 14 times in 11 matches. The odds of him getting the most goals are 1/7 (1.14).
Second on the list is Viktor Gyokeres with odds set at 25/1 (26.00). He’s currently 10 goals behind Haaland, and he’s not providing as many goals as Arsenal fans expected of him. But he’s still adapting to his new club and league, so let’s see if he proves the doubters wrong.
Igor Thiago is up next with odds of 28/1 (29.00). This Brazilian striker from Brentford managed to get 8 goals in 11 matches this season. This puts him in 2nd place on the current goal-scorer leaderboard.
Other players that have a chance of becoming top PL goalscorers are Mohammed Salah (28/1), Antoine Semenyo (40/1), and Joao Pedro (45/1). Let’s wait and see if any of these players catch on to Haaland by the end of the season.
