Who will win the 2025/26 Premier League? Predictions, antepost odds, and favorites
The 2025/26 Premier League kicks off on Friday, August 15 at Anfield, with reigning champions Liverpool taking on Bournemouth. In this guide, we analyze the favorites to win the title, the best antepost odds, and tips from football betting expert Frank Monkhouse, a writer for Flashscore, who offers a preview of the new season.
The 127th season of English professional football and the 34th of the Premier League era will kick off on Friday, August 15, at Anfield, where Liverpool will host Bournemouth. Last year, the Reds surprised everyone by breaking Manchester City’s dominance and denying Pep Guardiola yet another major trophy.
Led by Arne Slot, the Reds finished top of the table in style, winning the title with a ten-point lead over Arsenal and thirteen points ahead of third-placed Manchester City. Will they get off to a winning start against the Cherries and begin their quest for a second consecutive title?
Will Arsenal finally be ready to take that extra step and win the title? Will Manchester City try to regain the top spot or will Chelsea, fresh from winning the Club World Cup, prevail in the Premier League?
The leading bookmakers are already offering antepost odds for the 2025/26 Premier League, allowing you to choose your favorite and place a bet.
Frank Monkhouse, betting expert at Flashscore, guides readers through the best options for placing informed bets.
Liverpool deservedly won the Premier League title last season, proving themselves to be the strongest team in England. Despite their triumph, they will not be participating in the Club World Cup in the United States, an absence that has allowed the Reds to enjoy a summer of rest. In contrast, Manchester City and Chelsea have spent several weeks on tour overseas.
Luis Díaz has moved to Bayern Munich: his absence will be felt, but the transfer brought in £65.5 million, giving Arne Slot additional resources for the transfer market. If the scouting department manages to bring in two or more suitable replacements, the squad could even improve on the one that finished the championship as champions. Hugo Ekitike has already arrived, and there is also persistent talk of Alexander Isak from Newcastle. Do you think Liverpool can repeat their Premier League success? The antepost betting odds see them as favorites: the odds for victory are 3.25 on bet365, 3.50 on Sisal, and 3.25 on GoldBet.
However, in such a balanced season, those looking for a surprise could prefer to bet on outsiders at higher odds.
Arsenal came close to the title in the last two Premier League seasons: two years ago they finished behind Manchester City, while last year they were Liverpool’s main challengers. The Gunners have come within a whisker of success: will they finally make the final leap? The fans at the Emirates Stadium believe so and hope that Mikel Arteta will prove to be the right man to take the club back to the top.
The team has strengthened its attack with the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon, and Arteta has already expressed the group’s enthusiasm at the prospect of working with him. The new signing was also present in the 3-2 friendly win against Newcastle in Singapore. However, the transfer market is still open: the technical staff is busy renewing the contracts of key players and looking for new additions.
Those who believe Arsenal will win the title can bet on the Gunners at 2.75 on bet365, 3.25 on Sisal, and 2.85 on GoldBet. This assessment places them as second favorites in the antepost odds.
Manchester City Premier League betting odds
In the 2024-25 season, Manchester City finished third in the Premier League with 71 points, their worst finish since 2016-17. After dominating the scene for the previous four years, Pep Guardiola’s team failed to win any official trophies, ending a campaign that fell well short of expectations. For the 2025-26 season, Manchester City has a revamped squad and is determined to bounce back from last year’s setback. Manager Guardiola has already invested over £120 million in new signings — including Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, and Marcus Bettinelli — in addition to the likely re-signing of James Trafford.
According to bookmakers, Manchester City is the third favorite to win the 2025/26 Premier League, behind Liverpool and Arsenal. The current antepost odds for Manchester City to win are 4.00 on bet365, 3.50 on Sisal, and 3.50 on GoldBet.
Chelsea Premier League betting odds
Last season, Chelsea finished fourth, securing a return to the Champions League. Enzo Maresca’s team will start the 2025/26 Premier League with the prestigious title of best club in the world, after beating European champions PSG in the Club World Cup final. Those who have followed my analysis and predictions will remember that I bet on the Blues against the Parisians, and expectations for this season remain high. The road is long, but the Stamford Bridge club has what it takes: a talented squad, a quality coach, and owners who are ready to invest without hesitation. The club has been very active in the transfer market, focusing on young and dynamic players such as Jamie Gittens, João Pedro, Liam Delap, Mamadou Sarr, Dario Essugo, and Kendry Páez.Fans and insiders are already enthusiastic about the direction the club is taking. Personally, I see Chelsea as a serious contender for the Premier League title, offered at very attractive odds of 10.00 on bet365, 7.50 on Sisal, and 8.00 on GoldBet.

Federal officials will meet on Wednesday, September 17, if and only if inflation and employment data allow it. Technically, the Bitcoin price trend remains bullish with a summer target of $130,000.
$130,000 for Bitcoin: the natural technical target by the end of summer
The Bitcoin price has been developing a sideways transition phase on a technical level since mid-July. This pause is a classic consolidation pattern in line with the underlying uptrend. The chart below shows the theoretical chart targets for the bullish resolution in early July of a bullish flag pattern.
The theoretical chart target is $130,000, which should be reached by the end of the summer. It should be noted that the price of Bitcoin is still being driven by new records in global M2 liquidity, which point to a bullish August 2025.
Binance’s BNB, a promising bullish technical breakout for the current cycle and altcoins
In the crypto world, certain tokens serve as true indicators of the overall health of the market. This is particularly true of BNB, Binance’s native token. Analyzing BNB’s performance against the dollar is not only relevant to its holders: it also offers valuable insight for anyone seeking to assess the dynamics of the crypto market, particularly that of altcoins. Why is this so interesting? Quite simply because Binance occupies a dominant position in the ecosystem, with the highest trading volumes in both the spot and derivatives markets. As an asset closely linked to this platform, BNB therefore directly reflects the vitality of its business and, by extension, that of a major segment of the cryptocurrency industry.
A sharp and sustained rise in BNB tends to signal renewed enthusiasm, higher volumes, and increased confidence in altcoins. Conversely, a prolonged decline may suggest a pullback by market participants and broader pressure on altcoins.
In addition, activity on Binance directly influences demand for BNB, which is used to pay fees, participate in project launches, and interact with DeFi services. This organic link makes it an early indicator of the liquidity and energy of the crypto market as a whole.
The chart below shows the weekly Japanese candlesticks for the BNB/USD token. If you look at the winter 2021 period, you can see that the ATH was exceeded at the same time as the start of the altcoin season.
The BNB/USD price has just made a bullish technical breakout from the previous cycle’s record high, which is a powerful signal of bullish continuation and sends a favorable message for altcoins until the end of the cycle.
