The World Cup has (sadly) come to an end, so it's time to shift our attention back to Europe, and specifically the UK, as we look at the latest Premier League odds. Arsenal, fresh off their first league victory in 22 years, are the odds-on favorite to repeat in 2026-27.

Some big names have moved already in the summer transfer window, but the champs have yet to make a big splash like some of their competitors. Will Arsenal make a splash like Manchester City, signing Elliott Anderson (116 million pounds), or Chelsea, signing Morgan Rogers (117 million pounds), or can the holders keep the competition at bay with smaller tweaks?

↕️ Movers since opening odds

  • Man City from +250 to +275
  • Liverpool +550 to +500
  • Tottenham +5000 to +2500
  • Newcastle +4000 to +10000

The City and Liverpool changes are minor, small market corrections as opposed to based off transfer window or injury issues. Tottenham and Newcastle are directly related to one another. 

Tottenham has had a busy window after facing down the relegation battle last season. The Hotspur has signed Mateus Fernandes (West Ham), Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton), Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth), Andy Robertson (Liverpool), and perhaps most importantly, Sando Tonali (Newcastle). 

Newcastle also lost Anthony Gordon to Barcelona and Bruno Guimarães remains a top target for Arsenal. 


⚽ Premier League odds favorites & long shots

Arsenal (+150)

The Gunners snapped a 22-year drought with their title this year, the first time they've hoisted the trophy since their incredible Invincibles run. After three straight seasons finishing as runners-up, it was a huge relief for the team and its fans. 

Arsenal has been quiet in the offseason, having Morgan Rogers snapped up by Chelsea when he was reportedly a top target. Fan-favorite Leandro Trossard has departed the Premier League, and Christos Tzolis is expected to sign up front. But this team needs to do more, and Arsenal will look to bolster their attack with upgrades and depth signings on the left wing and right back positions, and maybe centerback depending on how serious William Saliba's injury is.

These odds are insanely low for a full season future, but Arsenal should at least be in the mix throughout the year.

Manchester City (+275)

City came up short in the chase for the title, but still captured two domestic cups this year. Talk of "rebuilding" is largely overblown by fans trying to talk their way out of not winning the league. 

Enzo Maresca has taken over, Elliott Anderson has come from Nottingham Forest. Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake have departed, but this is a team loaded with talent that will be looking to correct course after last year.

Liverpool (+500)

Things went so poorly for Liverpool in their title defense, but Champions League football remains on board, so it wasn't a total disaster. 

There is still plenty of talent here, but Mo Salah is still expected to be elsewhere at the start of the season, and new manager Andoni Iraola will have his hands full.

This team needs to shore up some serious issues, as it looked for most of the season like it never truly figured out how to move on from Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure. Attempts to bolster the attack were mired with injury and slow integration, but another year together should help that along.

Man United (+600)

This is one of the most interesting selections near the top of the board from the teams that one might think "can actually do it." United had a fantastic second half of the season, posting 39 points from Matchday 19 to Matchday 37, just one off the pace of league leaders Arsenal (40 points). 

Casemiro is gone, but the incoming are impressive enough. Andrey Santos has joined from Chelsea, and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, both of whom will be a boost in the center of the pitch. United's deep pockets and the draw of playing for a team with such history will make it easy (in the grand scheme) to fill remaining holes. Plus, they're back in the Champions League, which is an important draw for many players.

With these odds, I find this as the most attractive of the top four heading into next season.

🚀 True long shots?

While historical odds aren't particularly easy to track given different trackers using different dates, we can have a general look at preseason odds in the history of the Premier League. 

Outside Leicester City, winning with a +500000 preseason odds line, no team has ever had odds longer than +650 and raised the trophy at the end of the season. Don't get carried away.
