Arsenal have been installed as the 5/4 favourites to win the Premier League title in the 2026/27 season, according to the latest odds from Betway. Mikel Arteta's side lead the outright betting market ahead of Manchester City at 7/2 and Liverpool at 6/1.
Title Favourites and Punters' Choice
Arsenal are also the most backed team to win the league among punters, attracting 20 per cent of all title bets placed this summer. Manchester City remain heavily fancied in second place with 18 per cent of the betting volume, despite the off-season departure of Pep Guardiola.
Manchester United sit at 7/1 to secure the league title, with Chelsea close behind at 8/1 following their summer transfer activity. Tottenham are viewed as distant long shots for the crown, currently priced at 20/1.
Top Four and European Contenders
The bookmaker considers Arsenal a near-certainty to secure a Champions League spot, pricing the Gunners at heavily odds-on 1/10 for a top-four finish. Manchester City are also heavily backed at 1/4, while Liverpool are priced at 1/2 to retain their place at Europe's top table.
Manchester United at 4/6 and Chelsea at 5/6 round out the primary contenders vying for the remaining top-four qualification places. Tottenham Hotspur at 3/1 and Aston Villa at 4/1 face tougher tests according to the market, whilst Brighton remain dark horses at 12/1.
Relegation Favourites and Newcastle Concern
Hull City are heavily tipped for an immediate return to the second tier as the odds-on 1/6 favourites for relegation. Coventry City at 8/13 and Ipswich Town at 4/6 are also considered deeply in danger of going down.
Sunderland at 11/4 and Fulham at 5/1 complete the list of primary candidates battling to avoid falling into the Championship. Both clubs will need strong starts to the campaign to defy their current betting trajectories.
In a worrying trend for Magpies supporters, Newcastle have emerged as the most backed club to be relegated this summer. A disastrous pre-season and transfer window have seen 31 per cent of all relegation bets placed directly on them.
