Who are the favourites to win the Premier League 2025/26?
The betting suggests that four teams have a realistic chance of finishing the season as Premier League champions. Do you think anyone else can upset the ‘big four’?
Arne Slot was not fazed by taking over from the popular Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool and, in his first managerial role outside of his home country, the Dutchman led the Reds to a convincing EPL title, eventually winning the league with a 10-point margin over their nearest challengers. However, the Champions League proved disappointing, with a round-of-16 exit for Liverpool, but it is hard to see them not challenging for the EPL title again.
After a summer of speculation, Alexander Isak finally joined Liverpool from Newcastle on transfer deadline day, for a British-record transfer fee of £125m. The Reds have also landed an exciting striker, Hugo Ekitiké, from Eintracht Frankfurt, whilst both Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez have left the club. Trent Alexander-Arnold has moved on to Real Madrid, whilst Jarell Quansah has also left the Liverpool defence to join Bayer Leverkusen. However, Arne Slot has also plundered Leverkusen, taking both Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong from the German side. Milos Kerkez has joined from Bournemouth to bolster the defence, whilst Alisson will have competition between the sticks, as Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili will battle for the goalkeeper’s shirt.
Liverpool missed an early opportunity for more silverware after losing to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.
Arsenal have now completed a hat-trick of runners-up finishes in the EPL. Although, last season, unlike the previous two, they rarely looked like they would claim the title. Mikel Arteta is heading into his seventh season as Arsenal manager and must be wondering if he will ever get his hands on the Premier League trophy with the Gunners. The North London side have made some statement signings in the form of prolific goalscorer Viktor Gyökeres, from Sporting Lisboa, as well as midfielders Eberechi Eze and Martín Zubimendi. Winger Noni Madueke has joined from Chelsea, whilst Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined to bolster the goalkeeping ranks. Will Gyökeres be the missing piece in the Arsenal jigsaw?
After injuries hit the Gunners last season, one concern will be that Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are already ruled out until late November.
Last season, Manchester City finished outside the top two in the Premier League for the first time in eight seasons. The Community Shield was the only trophy City won in 2024/25, and the season included five consecutive defeats for the first time in Pep Guardiola’s managerial career at any club. The absence of Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, who played just three league matches before his season-ending injury, was a big loss for Pep’s squad. City have added Rayan Aït-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki to their squad, whilst goalkeeper James Trafford has returned from Burnley. The Cityzens also added Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG to strengthen their goalkeeping ranks, with Ederson moving to Fenerbahçe after eight years at the Etihad.
After a stutter around the turn of the year, six wins and two draws from their last nine matches saw Chelsea take fourth place in the EPL and claim a Champions League place. The Blues took that good form into the Club World Cup, in which they surprisingly defeated PSG 3-0 in the final to claim that trophy for the second time. Can Enzo Maresca’s side continue their upward momentum and challenge for the EPL title this season?
Chelsea have once again spent big money in the transfer market, adding to their strike force with João Pedro and Liam Delap, although the latter has since picked up a hamstring injury in late August that will keep him sidelined for a couple of months. Jamie Gittens has joined from Dortmund, as has Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, to add some pace to the wings. Additionally, 18-year-old Estêvão Willian has arrived with a fanfare after having already been dubbed ‘the next Neymar’ by some pundits. The Blues have also seen several players depart, including Nicolas Jackson, Ben Chilwell and Christopher Nkunku.
Premier League top six predictions 2025/26
Manchester United will need to show a marked improvement on last season to make any sort of challenge for a Champions League place. The Red Devils finished in 15th place last season, 42 points behind the champions Liverpool. That was their worst finishing position in the league for 35 years and the fewest points they have amassed during the course of a season for over 50 years. United had a final chance to salvage their season in the Europa League final, and thus gain qualification to the Champions League, only to lose 1-0 against Tottenham in an all-English final.
Ruben Amorim will be unlikely to survive a similar season as United’s manager, and he has brought in Benjamin Šeško, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to bolster his attacking options. Amorim is also removing some established players from his squad, with Marcus Rashford sealing a loan move to Barcelona, whilst Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony have all been deemed surplus to requirements and have moved on. After an unconvincing start from both of United’s goalkeepers, Senne Lammens has been brought in to compete for the starting spot between the sticks.
Newcastle qualified for the final Champions League place with a fifth-place finish last season, which was their second top-five placing in the last three years. That achievement was helped massively by goals from Alexander Isak, who found the net 23 times in the EPL. However, the Magpies will need to find goals from elsewhere this season, with Isak having moved to Liverpool. To that effect, they have spent big money on bringing both Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa to St James’ Park. Anthony Elanga has also joined Newcastle in a big money move from Nottingham Forest, whilst Jacob Ramsey has joined from Villa.
A strong finish to the 2024/25 season from Aston Villa, with a run of eight wins in their last 10 matches, wasn’t enough to earn the Villans a Champions League place. They ended in sixth position, missing out on a UCL finish on goal difference. Goalkeeper Marco Bizot was brought in over the summer, as it appeared Emi Martinez was saying his goodbyes at the end of last season. However, the World-Cup-winning goalkeeper currently remains a Villa player, although it appears he may still be on the move at some point. Villa also brought in the experienced pair of Victor Lindelof and Jadon Sancho, as well as English youngster Harvey Elliott.
A crazy season for Tottenham saw the London side finish just one place above the relegation places and also win the Europa League! That victory earned Spurs a place in this season’s Champions League, despite their lowly EPL finish, but it wasn’t enough to save manager Ange Postecoglou. Taking over the hotseat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is Thomas Frank, with the Dane making the short move across London from Brentford, where he had been assistant manager and then head coach since 2016. Mohammed Kudus has joined the Lilywhites from West Ham, whilst Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso have both made their moves permanent after spending time on loan at Spurs last season. Ex-Fulham midfielder João Palhinha has joined on loan after an average first season at Bayern Munich, whilst Son Heung-min bade an emotional farewell to his home for the last 10 years as he moved across the Atlantic to Los Angeles FC. Late moves in the transfer window saw Spurs add Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani to their ranks.
Premier League teams predicted to finish mid-table 2025/26
Nottingham Forest had looked destined for a Champions League place after spending much of last season in the top three. However, a poor finish to their campaign, during which they won just two of their last eight matches, saw Forest drop to seventh place. That did merit a place in the UEFA Conference League, which has since been improved to a place in the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted. Whilst the Tricky Trees have lost Anthony Elanga to Newcastle, they have been busy adding to their squad. Brazilian defender Igor Jesus has arrived at the City Ground from Botafogo, in addition to winger Dan Ndoye, who has moved from Bologna. Omari Hutchinson, James McAtee, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Dilane Bakwa are amongst the other players to join Forest over the summer.
Fabian Hürzeler will have been relatively pleased with his first season as Brighton manager, having seen his side finish in eighth position. They proved a tough nut to crack, with only two sides having drawn more games that the Seagulls during the season. However, they have a big void to fill in attack after the loss of João Pedro to Chelsea. Brighton have spent big on youngster Charalampos Kostoulas from Olympiacos, although the striker has only just turned 18. The other incomings so far follow Brighton’s ethos of bringing in talented young players for relatively low fees.
Oliver Glasner will also be encouraged by his first full season in charge of Crystal Palace, having earned the Eagles some silverware by winning the FA Cup. Palace added to their trophy cabinet by defeating Liverpool in this season’s Community Shield. However, due to rules about multi-club ownership in the same competition, Palace have been demoted from participating in the Europa League because of their links to Lyon and will play in the Conference League instead. The Eagles finished in 13th place in the table, despite losing playmaker Michael Olise to Bayern before the season started. Although they did keep hold of Eberechi Eze last season, the talented midfielder has now moved to Arsenal, and they have brought in attacking midfielder Yeremy Pino from Villarreal to fill the gap. In a late twist on deadline day, the Eagles scuppered Marc Guéhi’s move to Liverpool, despite the player apparently already having filmed his exit video from Selhurst Park.
In January, David Moyes returned to Everton for a second spell as manager after a 12-year gap. Taking over when they were 19th in the table, Moyes made them defensively solid as they moved clear of relegation to end in 13th place. They drew more games (15) than any other team in the EPL but found goals hard to come by. They scored just 42 goals, the lowest number apart from the three relegated teams, and will hope new signing Thierno Barry can improve those numbers. However, they also only conceded 44 goals, which was only bettered by the defences of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has arrived from Chelsea in a permanent move, whilst Jack Grealish has joined on a season-long loan from Manchester City. Meanwhile, the exciting youngster Tyler Dibling has joined from Southampton. This season sees Everton move to a new stadium, after 133 years playing at Goodison Park.
Bournemouth bettered their best-ever Premier League total when gaining 56 points and a top-half finish in manager Andoni Iraola’s second season on the south coast. The popular Spaniard has been mentioned on several occasions when managerial roles have become available, and the Cherries will do well to keep their in-demand boss. Goalkeeper Djordje Petrović has joined form Chelsea, replacing Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season on loan with Bournemouth. However, Iraola will find it hard to replace the big void left in defence by the departure of Milos Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen. In defence, centre-back Bafodé Diakité and left-back Adrien Truffert have signed from French clubs Lille and Rennes respectively, whilst Amine Adli and Ben Doak have been added to Bournemouth’s attacking ranks. In his first managerial role since a turbulent six months at Chelsea, Graham Potter took over at West Ham half-way through last season. However, he made an inauspicious start in East London, having won just five of his 19 matches by the end of last season. Potter will have to stamp his mark on his side without Mohammed Kudus, who has left for Tottenham. Recognising that the defence was quite porous, the first two summer signings were made with a view to strengthen that area: Jean-Clair Todibo and El Hadji Malick Diouf. Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and centre-back Igor Julio have also been signed since then. Additionally, the experienced Callum Wilson has joined the Hammers after leaving Newcastle at the end of last season, as has Mateus Fernandes from Southampton.
Predictions for Premier League relegation 2025/26
Fulham will play their fourth successive season in the EPL for the first time since being relegated in 2014, after their three previous seasons all ended in mid-table finishes. It was certainly an up-and-down finish for the Cottagers last season, with their last 18 matches all producing a conclusive result (8W, 10L). Prior to that sequence, Fulham had drawn six of their previous eight games. Marco Silva’s side have been noticeably quiet in the transfer window, with Samuel Chukwueze and Brazilian forward Kevin being the only incomings of note.
Since regaining their top-flight status in 2018 and finishing seventh in the subsequent two seasons, Wolves have then finished between 10th and 16th in each of the last five campaigns. They will start the new season having lost two of their most important players to Manchester-based clubs—Matheus Cunha to United and Rayan Aït-Nouri to City. Fer López has joined from Celta Vigo and will reunite with Jørgen Strand Larsen, who made his loan move from the same club permanent at the end of last season. Striker Tolu Arokodare has joined to improve the attacking options, whilst Ladislav Krejci and David Møller Wolfe will boost the defence. An impressive performance in the Club World Cup earned Colombian forward Jhon Arias a move to Molineux from Brazilian side Fluminense too.
Brentford successfully negotiated another mid-table finish in the EPL last season, although with top scorer Bryan Mbeumo departing for Manchester United and fellow striker Yoane Wissa moving to Newcastle, the Bees will be wondering where the goals will come from this season. Goalkeeper Mark Flekken started all but one EPL match last season and has now moved to Bayer Leverkusen, with Caoimhin Kelleher coming in from Liverpool to take over between the sticks. Another stalwart of last season’s defence, Christian Nørgaard, has gone to Arsenal, but the biggest loss of all may be long-serving manager Thomas Frank, who has left to take over the reins at Tottenham. His role has been taken by Keith Andrews, who moves up from set-piece coach to take his first managerial position. Additionally, the experienced Jordan Henderson has joined the Bees from Ajax, alongside exciting winger Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth.
With all three promoted sides from the 2023/24 season being relegated immediately, Leeds United will be hoping to buck that trend. Their last sojourn in the EPL lasted three seasons before a 19th-place finish in 2023 saw them head back to the Championship. Leeds have been active in the transfer market, with three of their new signings coming from German clubs, including Anton Stach from Hoffenheim. They have also added Premier League experience to their squad by signing Sean Longstaff from Newcastle and Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton. There will be a new man between the sticks at Elland Road too, as Lucas Perri moves from Lyon and looks to take over the goalkeeping jersey. Jaka Bijol and Noah Okafor have also joined in big-money moves from Italian sides Udinese and Milan respectively.
Burnley find themselves back in the top-flight after a one-season stay in the EPL in 2023/24. Last season was Scott Parker’s first in charge of the Clarets, and he has a big job on his hands to keep them in the division. They have been very busy bringing new players into the squad for this season, with Kyle Walker adding a wealth of experience to the defensive line. Amongst the many other incomings, those of note include the ex-Chelsea pair of Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja, as well as Quilindschy Hartman, Marcus Edwards, Florentino Luís and Loum Tchaouna. With several other players also added, the Fulham manager will need his new players to gel quickly if they are to retain their place in the top division. Goalkeeper James Trafford has moved to Manchester City, with the 36-year-old Martin Dúbravka moving from Newcastle to plug the gap.
Sunderland were the initial favourites to finish bottom of the EPL, having achieved promotion through the playoffs after finishing 24 points behind Leeds and Burnley. However, the Black Cats have been the biggest spenders of the promoted sides, having added Enzo Le Fée, Simon Adingra, Habib Diarra, Noah Sadiki, Brian Brobbey and Chemsdine Talbi, each for reported fees of around £17m or higher. They have also added plenty of EPL experience with the acquisition of Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen, although Jobe Bellingham has moved to Borussia Dortmund. The last time Sunderland played in the top-flight was in 2017, and their fans will have already pencilled in the dates for the Tyne–Wear derby.

In total, England will have six teams playing in next season’s Champions League.
The top five teams in the final EPL table, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle, have qualified based on their league position. Tottenham Hotspur are the sixth team to qualify, as a result of their win in last season’s Europa League, which saw them gain direct entry into the UCL. That title was won despite an awful league season in which the North London side finished in 17th position, just one place above the relegation places. Despite Ange Postecoglou seeing his side earn a Champions League place, the poor league form was enough to see the charismatic Australian relieved of his duties in early June.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Europa League?
Aston Villa’s sixth-place finish was enough to gain a place in next season’s Europa League. Crystal Palace were set to join them, after the South London club won the FA Cup. However, Palace were demoted to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership in the same competition because of their links to Lyon. Their place was awarded to Nottingham Forest, who had originally qualified for the UEFA Conference League.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Conference League?
Despite spending a large part of the season in one of the Champions League places, a stuttering end to the campaign for Nottingham Forest saw the Tricky Trees drop into seventh place and a place in next season’s Conference League.
However, Forest now find themselves in the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted from that tournament to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership.
Despite the disappointment of missing out of the Europa League, Palace will hope to emulate Chelsea and bring the trophy back to British soil for the third time in the competition’s five-year history.
Which teams were relegated to the Championship?
The three promoted teams from the previous season all made an instant return to the Championship, emphasising an ever-increasing gap between the top two divisions.
Southampton set a new unwanted record as they became the first ever Premier League side to have relegation confirmed with seven matches of the season still to play. Their final tally of 12 points was the second lowest in Premier League history. Joining the Saints in an instant return were Ipswich Town and Leicester City, who both knew their destiny with several matches still to play.
Which teams were promoted from the Championship?
Burnley were the only side from the trio of relegated clubs from the 2023/24 EPL season to bounce back at the first attempt. They finished in second place in the 2024/25 Championship table, level with Leeds on points but with an inferior goal difference. Sunderland were the third side to be promoted after defeating Sheffield United in the playoff final, despite finishing 14 points behind the Blades in the regular season.
