Who are the favourites to win the Premier League in 2024-25?

Man City

Man City are history-makers. Never before in the history of English football had a team won four consecutive top-flight titles. But Man City now have. And this is a record that even transcends the Premier League — we’re talking about since the creation of the Football League.

The Citizens didn’t have it all their way last season, however. They were only two points clear of Arsenal in the end and had dropped away from being favourites at times. But, in the end, Man City’s quality shone through and they went unbeaten in their final 23 matches to take the title.

That unbeaten run has been extended to 29 now, with Man City taking 14 points from their opening six games. Chelsea, Ipswich, West Ham and Brentford all fell to start the season, but Man City have drawn their past two matches against Arsenal and Newcastle.

Arsenal

For the second season running, Arsenal were the nearly-men. This time they took Man City all the way to the end and just missed out on the title, unable to keep up with Pep Guardiola’s machine. But while the season ended in disappointment once again, this was Arsenal’s time to show what they were made of.

When Arsenal finished second in 2022-23, some believed it was a one-off campaign and they’d be unable to match it. But the Gunners have shown they are ready to keep pushing Man City. And it feels like it’s only a matter of time before Arsenal get their hands on the Premier League trophy.

The Gunners remain unbeaten after six games with four wins and two draws. Last time out they left it late to beat Leicester 4-2, having initially let a 2-0 lead slip.

Liverpool

We’re in a new era at Anfield. The Jurgen Klopp era ended last season, with Liverpool finishing third in the Premier League and winning the EFL Cup. The Reds had been in the title race for quite some time and were backed to go all the way in some moments towards the end of the campaign. But they eventually fell away, with a period of one win from five putting an end to their hopes. That run included defeats to Crystal Palace and rivals Everton.

Arne Slot is now the man in charge and there is excitement around Liverpool. Although it will be tough to not make comparisons to Klopp’s Liverpool, it is key that fans and pundits understand this will be a different side. They sit top of the league after six games with five wins, only losing to Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea

There’s then a big jump to Chelsea, who are a hard team to judge. The Blues underwhelmed last season but rallied late and finished sixth, securing a return to European football by entering the Uefa Conference League qualifying play-off round. That qualification was secured thanks to a decent end to the season, with Mauricio Pochettino finally looking like he had worked out how to get the best out of his very young squad.

But Pochettino left and was replaced by Enzo Maresca, who has had a decent start. The Blues are in the top four after six games, with four wins and 13 points.

Man United

Another big outsider, Manchester United finished eighth last season in what was their worst-ever Premier League campaign. The Red Devils only secured Europa League football thanks to beating Man City in the FA Cup final. There was a lot of doubt with regard to Erik ten Hag’s future, but the Dutchman has been given another chance to show what he can do with this team.

But the pressure will be on. A title won’t be the aim, instead, Man United will be focusing on a top-four finish, as is shown by their longer odds. And their start to the season has been mixed with two wins, three defeats and one draw.

Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge at Tottenham can be categorised as ‘decent’. The Australian got his side playing some lovely football at times, but a brittle defence and a few injuries meant they fell away from the title race quite early.

Still, Tottenham are back in Europe, finishing fifth to qualify for the Europa League. Spurs have taken 10 points from their opening six games, with three wins, two defeats and a draw.

Newcastle

Another team to disappoint last season, Newcastle failed to qualify for European football. The Magpies struggled to manage the Premier League and the Champions League, finishing seventh in the former and bottom of their group in the latter — although, to be fair, they were drawn into a nightmare group alongside AC Milan, PSG and eventual runners-up Borussia Dortmund.

Things are going much better this season. The Magpies have taken 11 points from their opening six games, including three wins. They looked extremely good in their 1-1 draw with Man City.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa emerged as a surprise outsider in the title race last season and only really fell away at the end. But they still managed to hold onto fourth place, meaning they’ll play Champions League football this season for the first time since 1982-83. That alone makes them noteworthy at this early stage.

Emery’s men have started the new campaign well with 13 points from their opening five matches, only dropping points in a defeat to Arsenal and draw at Ipswich.
