Premier League top four odds: the contenders
Arsenal
Arsenal won the title last season, securing top spot with room to spare. Mikel Arteta has built a formidable squad at the Emirates. The champions will expect a top-four finish as a minimum while they defend their crown.
Manchester City
Man City are always heavy favourites to finish in the top four. New boss Enzo Maresca inherits one of the strongest squads in the division. The Citizens will be aiming to reclaim the title, and anything below second would be a shock.
Liverpool
Liverpool finished fifth last season but still managed to qualify for the Champions League. The Reds have a point to prove this time around. A much-improved domestic campaign is being demanded at Anfield. They have the firepower to secure a top-four finish, but consistency will be key.
Manchester United
Man Utd secured a top-four finish last season and will be looking to build on that success. The Red Devils have a strong squad, but they must avoid the inconsistency that has plagued them in the past. If they can string together a run of positive results, they will be right in the mix.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa shocked many by finishing in the top four last season. The job now is proving that success was no fluke. Balancing domestic duties with Champions League football will be a massive challenge, but they have the quality to compete.
Chelsea
Chelsea missed out on the top four last season and will be desperate to return to Europe’s elite competition. They must also regroup quickly after losing Enzo Maresca to Man City this summer. The Blues cannot afford another underwhelming campaign.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur also missed out on Champions League qualification last season. More will be demanded in north London this time around. Spurs have the attacking talent to hurt any team, but they must improve defensively if they are to secure a top-four finish.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United have the financial backing to compete with the best, but they fell short last season. The Magpies will be desperate to force their way back into the top four. They have a strong squad, but they face fierce competition from the established elite.
Champions League qualification odds
The top four qualify automatically for the Champions League league phase. England can also earn a fifth spot, as happened in 2025/26 when Liverpool qualified from fifth.
In short, strong English performances in Europe can turn the top four into a top five. For the winner market itself, see our Champions League odds page.
