As the 2024/25 Premier League season approaches, anticipation is building, with clubs gearing up for what promises to be another thrilling campaign. Here, we take a look at the title odds and prospects for some of the league’s top contenders based on bwin’s latest odds.
Manchester City (6/4)
Manchester City enter the new season as favourites to reclaim the Premier League title, according to bwin’s outright winner odds. After finishing first last season, Pep Guardiola’s men are determined to make it five in a row to really establish their dominance. With a formidable squad and the bulk of their starting XI staying, City are poised for another strong title challenge.\
City have bolstered their attack with the signing of Savio from Troyes, expected to strengthen a forward that was occasionally too rigid last season. Meanwhile, the attacking duo of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne will continue to be central to City’s game plan, with Haaland aiming to win the Golden Boot for the third year running.
Arsenal (33/20)
Arsenal are seen as Manchester City’s closest challengers for the title. After a remarkable campaign last season, in which they took their title challenge to the final day of the season, Mikel Arteta’s side is determined to win the league for the first time in two decades. The Gunners have been proactive in the transfer market, bringing in Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, with the Italian impressing last season and at Euro 2024.
Arteta has successfully instilled a sense of belief and resilience in his players. The attacking trio of Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Ødegaard will be crucial as Arsenal look to build on their success
Liverpool (13/2)
Liverpool, now under the management of Arne Slot, are aiming to reclaim their status as Premier League champions after finishing third last season. Known for his tactical acumen and emphasis on attacking football, Slot looks to reignite the fire in Liverpool with an exciting style of play, similar to that of departing manager, Jurgen Klopp.
The dynamic attacking line, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Díaz, will be crucial as Liverpool looks to challenge for the title. Slot’s focus on high pressing and quick transitions has been a hallmark of his approach.
Other Contenders
Beyond the top three, several other teams will be looking to challenge for a top-four finish and potentially mount a title challenge. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur all have the capability to surprise the favorites and will be eager to make their mark on the league.
- Manchester United have strengthened their squad with the signing of striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, hoping to bolster their attacking options. United are looking to build on their performances from last season under Erik ten Hag and get back into the Champions League spots.
- Chelsea are in transition under new manager Enzo Maresca and will look to build on their shaky pre-season with the additions of several key players.
- Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by Ange Postecoglou, will aim to return to the Champions League spots with the help of new signings Archie Gray, who is not only one for the future, but someone who is expected to make an immediate impact.
The 2024/25 Premier League season promises to be another exhilarating ride, with top teams strengthening their squads and setting their sights on the coveted title. While Manchester City are the favourites, Arsenal and Liverpool are poised to mount serious challenges, and other clubs will undoubtedly look to upset the odds.
With the stage set for a gripping season, fans are eagerly anticipating the kickoff, and as always, the Premier League is sure to deliver unforgettable moments and intense competition.
