Who will win Premier League title? Betting odds, favorites in 2024-25 as Man City fend off Arsenal, Liverpool image

With Manchester City lifting an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title, securing the crown on the final day of the 2023/24 season, a full summer of international football to feast on leaves fans now hungry for the return of club football.

Premier League sides now have a fresh start in the quest to dethrone Pep Guardiola's squad, something not done since Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool ran away with the 2019/20 crown. Since, City have won every single league championship, establishing a dominance never before seen in the modern iteration of the English top flight.

With Klopp departing and Arsenal falling agonizingly short for a second straight season, the coming campaign brings a number of uncertainties across all the top Premier League contenders.

As the door closes on the exciting summer of soccer and the new club season arrives, The Sporting News looks at the approaching 2024/25 campaign, which begins on August 16 and runs through May 25.

Odds, favorites for 2024/25 Premier League title

Unsurprisingly, there's no universe in which Man City aren't heavy favorites to win a fifth straight crown.

Pep Guardiola has established what can be accurately described as a dynasty, and while the last three have come by a combined gap of eight points, he's still put Man City at the apex of Europe's richest league in historic fashion. City may not be unbeatable, but they possess the deepest, most congestion-proof squad and maintain the most electric end-of-season form on a yearly basis.

Arsenal will be expected to give it another good run, but it's unlikely anyone else will be thought likely to challenge those two at the top. Jurgen Klopp's departure from Liverpool will leave too much uncertainty around the immediate future of the Reds, and no other club put up enough of a fight last season to give any kind of promise for a charge this year.

Who will win the 2024/25 Premier League title?

Until anyone proves they can beat Manchester City, it's certainly not unwise to stick with them to continue running the English top flight, but there are certainly questions around their ability to maintain their dominant level for another full season. The departure of Julian Alvarez plus a serious injury to Oscar Bobb leaves the attack somewhat thin — there is no natural striker behind Erling Haaland if he were to get injured as he did last year.

Arsenal came close enough the last two seasons to justify a selection of the Gunners based solely on value. Mikel Arteta boasts an extremely well-balanced squad positioned strongly for the long-term future, and the club is in good position to get over the hump this time around. Sadly, the Gunners don't present as much value as we might have hoped, given odds that rival four-time defending champions, but they're still a better bet at this stage.

Liverpool are in too much disarray to be real challengers across the entire 38-game season, even if they look up for the fight through the first half, and Tottenham don't quite have the balance to prove a title threat. Chelsea should improve from last season, but the questionable dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino sets them back in their progression and the young, bloated squad remains in constant flux.

Best bet: Arsenal to win the Premier League title (+165)

Who will be relegated in 2024/25 Premier League season?

Newly promoted clubs are always at risk of the drop, and that's no different this season as the likes of Leicester City, Southampton, and Ipswich Town are odds-on favorites to fall back out of the mix.

It's likely, however, that it doesn't quite play out that easily. Last season was the first time since 1998 that all three newly promoted sides were sent straight back down, with Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United failing to remain afloat.

There are a host of teams that could be replaced, most notably Nottingham Forest who fell victim to the transfer window's siren song last year, making too many moves at once to throw their squad totally out of flux. It very nearly cost them, finishing as the final safe side in 17th position last season, but this year it's plausible to see them fall out.

Everton are also likely at risk again given their lack of financial ability to strengthen the squad, but they have consistently shown an aversion to relegation even while in real danger, and Sean Dyche is too good a manager to be sent down.

Best bet: Ipswich Town (-225), Southampton (+100), and Nottingham Forest (+250) to be relegated
