Plot twists have been the highlight of EPL 2024-2025, but right now, everyone’s saying pretty much the same thing. Liverpool has the highest chance of claiming the title, while Arsenal and Chelsea are all within a shout should the leader falter. Manchester City are outsiders but have the talent to go on a winning run that will hurl them right back into contention.
Let’s break things down a bit to see why these four teams are favorites or near-favorites to win according to the bookies.
Liverpool
The Reds are having a fantastic season, with Arne Slot having the best start he could have ever wished for, sitting pretty at the top of the standings. Fans and bookies always expect a title push
from the Merseyside outfit, but in a modest way. This was reflected in their odds to win in the EPL's outright market, with a couple of teams ahead in the pecking order. However, the near-perfect start of just a single loss in 15 games with 11 wins and three draws has heightened expectations.
It not only infused the minds of their fans with belief but also that of the bookies. Right now, Liverpool is the favorite to win the league ahead of their fellow contenders, with 1.71 odds at

Arsenal
This is a team with the most experience in playing catch-up, something they have done unsuccessfully in the past couple of years to the eventual winners. The Gunners have had
shaky performances every now and then throughout this campaign, keeping them third on the table, and six points behind the leaders, despite having played a game more.
However, there is always a chance – one they’re very likely hoping for – of a bad run from their direct rivals, opening the way for them to pounce. According to the bookies, Arsenal is the team
with the closest chance of winning the title after Liverpool.
Chelsea
Another London club shares the bookie’s opinion of being the closest threat to the runaway Merseysider. Chelsea is a team still in the stage of finding its identity, with little expectation of them this season regarding the title race. The Blues have, however, brought their name into contention for the title with a solid start masterminded by new coach Enzo Maresca. They sit
second on the standings, two points behind the leaders, having played a game more. Chelsea is one of the most in-form teams this season, which has shifted the public stance on their title
credentials.
Manchester City
The reigning champions and bookies top pick for the title pre-season, having previously won the last four on the spin, have had a rather disastrous defense of their crown. The Citizens have
already lost five games and sit fifth, nine points off the top, with a game more. Issues such as injuries to important players and a drop in form have left Manchester City with a hill to climb.
The bookies have reflected this in their outright odds, as they now sit as the fourth most likely to lift the trophy.
1xBet, for instance, offers the same longshot odds for all other teams in the league. The operator hasn’t bothered to make a distinction, because outside of these four, there’s really no
other competition for the title. There’s still much road to cover before the end of the season, so the rankings could switch up and some new contender could pop up, so make sure to stay
ahead of the stats.
