Who are the favourites to win the Premier League?

The last five Premier League titles have been shared between two clubs. The bulk of those (four) has been claimed by Manchester City who are seeking to become only the second team in the Premier League era to three-peat. Manchester United, under legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson managed this feat, which has eluded Pep Guardiola’s men, on two separate occasions. City were pushed to the limit last season and needed to register their third-highest points total to fend off Liverpool who are set to once again be their biggest threat.

Jurgen Klopp’s side came agonisingly close to recording an unprecedented quadruple. The Reds have finished third or higher in each of the last four seasons, averaging 89.25 points per campaign, among this run was a championship which ended the club’s 30-year wait to be English football’s number one team. That honour is something Man Utd want to claim again. Under Erik ten Hag, the club are once again rubbing shoulders with the title-chasers.

But, it’s been Arsenal who have shown the greatest desire to lift English football’s most prized trophy. The Gunners are currently setting the pace atop the table, have lost just three games this campaign, and are playing some scintillating football to boot. It’s going to take some doing to thwart Mikel Artera’s band of fledgling stars and knock them off their current perch…

Who are the favourites?

Arsenal

As mentioned, Arsenal have been emphatic this season and went into the New Year at the top of the Premier League table, a scenario almost completely at odds with their inauspicious start last campaign, in which they lost their opening three games. Indeed, the Gunners have looked like genuine title challengers throughout the season and they are back in the box seat after a slight wobble in February.

Arteta’s side suffered defeats to Everton and City, as well as drawing with Bournemouth, but the capital club bounced back with successive wins over Aston Villa, Leicester, the Toffees and Bournemouth, bagging last-minute winners in the former and latter matches. Two more wins have followed against Fulham and Crystal Palace, with Arsenal becoming the first team in Premier League history to win nine London derbies in a single season. Those results have kept Arsenal in the driving seat and eight points clear of City – who do have a game in hand.

Man City

Pep Guardiola’s men came up short in their concluding game before the World Cup after a late Ivan Toney winner secured Brentford a rare three points at the Etihad. That relative giant-killing allowed Arsenal to capitalise on their game in hand against Wolves and carve out a five-point buffer heading into the autumnal hiatus. The gap of five points was maintained as Man City returned from the World Cup break with a 3-1 win over Leeds.

Since then, the defending champions have blown hot and cold, with dropped points against Everton and Nottingham Forest, as well as defeats to Man Utd and Tottenham. Guardiola did manage to best Arteta in a crucial showdown at the Emirates, but the Gunners maintain their eight-point cushion at the summit after 28 games. Even if Man City win their game in hand and beat Arsenal at the Etihad, they need help from elsewhere if they are to complete three in a row.

Man Utd

Could it be? Man Utd were quietly sneaking up on City and Arsenal and looked like they could genuinely be in the conversation towards the business end of the season. Erik ten Hag had Man Utd flying and fighting on four fronts, having masterminded an EFL Cup win, and produced comeback triumphs over Barcelona and West Ham in the Europa League and FA Cup respectively.

However, a 7-0 capitulation at the hands of bitter rivals Liverpool and draw with Southampton dented their aspirations of catching Arsenal. Even if they bounce back and win their two games in hand, they would still be 13 points off the Gunners. But let’s not completely count them out yet as more twists and turns are expected in these final few months.

Premier League outright odds: Other markets
