A preview of the Premier League 2024/25 betting odds, including which teams are favorite to win the title and land a spot in the top 4.

The Premier League 2024/25 season is set to start on 16 August 2024, with anticipation levels already going through the roof. Pep Guardiola is chasing Manchester City’s fifth title on the bounce, Mikel Arteta looks set to take Arsenal up another gear again, and Jürgen Klopp has officially been replaced by new Liverpool manager Arne Slot. Not to mention, the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United finally appear to be on the right track after a difficult couple of years, so everything is in place for yet another exciting campaign. 

In the buildup to the brand-new season, all of the bookies and betting sites, from Sky Bet to Paddy Power, have been releasing their odds for who will be the Premier League winner, top scorer, and everything else in-between. Of course, this is one of the most thrilling parts of the buildup during pre-season, as fans get the opportunity to look for bets that appeal to them and put their Premier League predictions to the test. But what are the odds actually saying at the moment? In this Premier League 2024/25 betting preview, we take a closer look so that you can see who the favorites are, which teams are predicted to make the top 4, and more. 

Premier League 2024/25 Betting Preview

🏆 Premier League Winner Odds (2024/25) 

Man City 6/4 • Arsenal 2/1 • Liverpool 8/1 • Man Utd 25/1 • Tottenham 33/1

Nobody will be surprised to learn that Manchester City are the outright favorites to win the upcoming Premier League campaign at 6/4 odds, with expert betting picks site sharperz.com advising people to bet on The Blues to once again comfortably beat Arsenal for the title. 

Pep Guardiola is looking for his seventh Premier League title in England and fifth in a row, having convincingly won all of the previous 4 campaigns (despite the efforts of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in more recent times). What’s interesting is that Pep’s contract with Manchester City is set to expire in 2025 and it’s widely believed that he will indeed walk away from the club, so you can expect Pep’s men to go out with a bang and push for every trophy that’s up for grabs — not just the Premier League.

And as things stand, it appears that (realistically) the only teams that might be able to push Manchester City are Arsenal and Liverpool. However, Arsenal could potentially struggle to maintain the momentum they’ve had during the past two campaigns and Liverpool are very much in unknown territory under new manager Arne Slot, so all signs point to Manchester City bringing home the title again. 

4️⃣ Premier League Top 4 Odds (2024/25) 

Man City 1/8 • Arsenal 2/9 • Liverpool 4/7 • Man Utd 2/1 • Newcastle 9/4

Heading into the new season, Manchester City and Arsenal are the only two teams seen by bookies as certainties to make the top 4. Outside of them, it’s pretty much a guessing game, with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle all producing highly inconsistent patches last season. You could flip a coin for any of them — which is why Manchester City and Arsenal are the only safe bets here. 

Betting on the Premier League top 4 is always challenging, as you never know which teams are going to remain consistent throughout the entire season. At this stage, it’s Premier League tradition for at least a couple of teams to experience mid-season or late-season blips that cause them to fall outside of the top 4, as was the case with Tottenham last season (who most fans thought were guaranteed to solidify a Champions League place under Ange Postecoglou).

With Aston Villa, even though they’re flying under Unai Emery and secured fourth place last season, bookies and pundits all expect them to experience a dip in form during the 2024/25 campaign due to the fact they now have a jam-packed schedule and will likely struggle in the Premier League as a result of this. 

⚽ Premier League Top Scorer Odds (2024/25) 

Erling Haaland 8/11 • Mohamed Salah 10/1 •  Ollie Watkins 16/1 •  Cole Palmer 20/1 •  Alexander Isak 20/1 

Everybody loves placing a fun bet on who they think will be the top scorer. And this season, there are some big names in the hat. Erling Haaland is the outright favorite at 8/11 to grab the Golden Boot, and other potential candidates include Mohamed Salah and Ollie Watkins. But with Manchester City set to dominate again, it’s fair to say the safest bet is to put a wager on Erling Haaland, who will be desperate to have a red-hot goalscoring season after a slightly underwhelming campaign last year. 

One of the exciting underdogs to be the top scorer next season is Cole Palmer. Recently, Palmer has earned himself a reputation as Chelsea’s starman and is also fresh off an impressive Euro 2024, where he made several exciting cameo appearances for England from the bench and even bagged himself a goal in the tournament final. So, if you’re more of an ambitious bettor and want to take a risk, Palmer could be worth a shot at 20/1 odds, especially if he’s able to continue his amazing form from the 2023/24 campaign, which saw him get 22 goals and 11 assists. 

⬇️ Premier League Relegation Odds (2024/25) 

Leicester 1/2 • Ipswitch 10/11 • Southampton 6/5  • Everton 9/4  • Nottingham Forest 5/2 

Over the past decade, a common occurrence in the Premier League has been for the three promoted teams from the Championship to all immediately get relegated and go back down, as was the case last season with Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield United all heading straight back to the Championship. This is why Leicester, Ipswich, and Southampton (the newly promoted sides) are the outstanding favorites to be relegated in the 2024/25 season. 

Outside of these teams, you also have potential relegation candidates in Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Wolves. Everton are especially likely to be down the bottom half of the table come the end of the season, as their recent takeover bid has collapsed and the squad is in desperate need of a rebuild.

Some skeptics even believe that Brentford might be a shock relegation team based on their underwhelming 2023/24 season and slight decline over recent years under Thomas Frank, but this still isn’t likely when you factor in that a Brentford relegation would require a lot of different elements to come together, including at least one of the newly promoted teams to be on red-hot form.
