Manchester City and Manchester United are second and fourth favourites respectively to win the Premier League title for the 2026/27 season, according to bookmakers. The Blues took the title race down to the last week of the previous campaign, but a draw at Bournemouth ultimately ended their hopes as Arsenal were crowned champions.
City's Transition Period
City are undergoing significant changes with Pep Guardiola, Bernardo Silva, and John Stones all departing at the end of the last season. Despite this upheaval, Betfair has priced the Blues at 5/2 to win the league, indicating confidence in their ability to overcome the transition.
United's Resurgence Under Carrick
Manchester United are backed to perform well following their resurgence under Michael Carrick in the second half of the last campaign. The decision to sack Ruben Amorim in January paid off, as the Reds lost only two Premier League matches en route to a third-place finish. Carrick was subsequently handed the job permanently. However, Betfair offers odds of 13/2 for United to win the league, predicting they may finish one place worse off than last season.
Arsenal Favourites to Retain Title
Arsenal are favourites to retain the Premier League title, priced at 6/4. They aim to achieve what only City have managed in the past decade: back-to-back titles. Liverpool are third favourites at 6/1, while Chelsea, under new head coach Xabi Alonso, are priced at 11/1.
