Premier League title odds 2024-25: Liverpool in charge of race ahead of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest

The 2024-25 Premier League title race is starting to look like a procession.
Manchester City went into the season as defending champions for a record fourth time. They once again edged the title race last season by just two points ahead of back-to-back runners-up Arsenal.
Many expected that to be the title battle once again this season, but Liverpool have forced themselves between the pair. And in fact, the Reds lead the table after 24 rounds, looking very comfortable.
The question is, can Liverpool build on their league to claim a second Premier League title in five years? Or will someone else take the lead in 2025?
Who are the favourites to win the Premier League in 2024-25?
Liverpool
No one put much stock in Liverpool at the start of the season. The Jurgen Klopp era ended in the summer, with the German leaving Liverpool after nine years in charge. He bowed out with Liverpool finishing third in the Premier League and winning the Carabao Cup. Arne Slot was the man brought in to replace Klopp, and no one really knew what to truly expect. The gap between Liverpool and the top two wasn’t big last season, but with a new manager, it was hard to call.
The Reds have taken 57 points from their opening 24 games of the season, losing just once and scoring 58 goals. They sit four points clear of second-placed Arsenal having drawn their game in hand against Everton, in a dramatic final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. But they’re still the heavy favourites.
Arsenal
Last season, Arsenal were the nearly-men for the second season running. They took Man City all the way to the final day, and just missed out on the title, unable to keep up with Pep Guardiola’s machine. But it was proof that Mikel Arteta had the Gunners here to stay. The main thing lacking for Arsenal has been a lack of striker, and a more crucial finisher might have got them over the line in recent campaigns.
This season, the Gunners are part of a busy chasing pack. Arsenal are currently second, four points behind Liverpool. They laboured to cut that gap to four, needing two late goals to beat Leicester City 0-2. But now they can sit back and watch Liverpool, knowing they are doing their bit so far.
Man City
There’s a bit of a jump in the odds to Man City, who aren’t even in the top four. Now, Man City are history-makers. Never before in the history of English men’s 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 were the early favourites to take the title again, given the air of inevitability surrounding the club. Even when things were close at the start of the season, Man City were still favourites. But now they’ve fallen due to a terrible run of just three wins from 11 games, losing six times. They’ve rallied to take 14 points from their last seven games, but have still thrown away leads against Everton and Brentford to draw during that time. Man City are now 13 points behind Liverpool, but have played a game more than Slot’s side.
Nottingham Forest
Yes, you read that correctly. Nottingham Forest are in the title race. Well, just about.
Nottingham Forest sit third in the Premier League and in a good position to finish in the top four. But a recent underwhelming run has seen them fall further way in the title race. The Tricky Trees have lost two of their past three games, beaten 5-0 by Bournemouth and 2-1 by Fulham. Those defeats came at the end of an eight-game unbeaten run which saw Forest draw with Liverpool, having taken the lead against the Reds. They’re now 10 points behind Liverpool having played a game more.
Best players of the Premier League 2024-25 title race
There are some elite goalkeepers in the Premier League right now, including the likes of Alisson, David Raya and Jordan Pickford. However, it’s Matz Sels who is top of the pile right now at 68% on the Squawka Score. Considering the Belgian is top for clean sheets (10) and second for saves (75) this season, that’s hardly a surprise.
It’s not just Sels keeping Forest air-tight in this surprise title challenge, though, with ex-Liverpool full-back Neco Williams coming in at 72%. He’s joined in this title-chasing backline by Trent Alexander-Arnold (76%) on the other flank, with Virgil van Dijk (77%) and Gabriel (74%) in the middle — the latter just edging out another Forest star in Nikola Milenkovic by a fraction of a percentage.
Nobody will be surprised to see Ryan Gravenberch (68%) running this midfield, sneaking in 2% ahead of his Liverpool teammate Alexis Mac Allister. Equally, Arsenal maestro Martin Odegaard (71%) is the creative genius, complimented by the dynamism of Elliot Anderson (68%).
Mohamed Salah has the highest Squawka Score of any player in this time at a ridiculous 84%, fuelled by league-highs for goals (22) and assists (14). He’s joined in the forward line by Bukayo Saka (82%), who was the first player to reach double-figure assists alongside scoring five goals of his own. And Chris Wood (69%) completes the team, now on 17 Premier Leagues goals for the season, with only Salah and Erling Haaland scoring more.
