A look at the latest predicted Premier League table after fixtures were confirmed on Wednesday.
The new Premier League fixtures for the 2025/26 season have now been released, with each team finding out when they will play each of their 19 opponents. At this stage, clubs are yet to begin their respective pre-seasons, with most player still on break, while Chelsea and Manchester City are representing the Premier League in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
Clubs up and down the Premier League are attempting to strengthen their squad in a bid to improve ahead of the new season, although the transfer window won’t be open again until the start of next month.
Arsenal will be the favourites of the London clubs to win the Premier League, but they have consistently come up short in their bid to end a more than two-decade long wait for another title. Chelsea are also hoping to be involved in the title race next season having improved significantly last season, securing a top four finish and Champions League football.
Tottenham have a lot to improve on this summer, and they have already had a summer of change, replacing Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank, who joined from Brentford. It will be interesting to see how Frank handles the step up and how Brentford manage life after the Dane after a fine season of last. Fulham were another team who impressed, and they will want to challenge for European football next season.
Crystal Palace will have to contend with Europa League football while also targeting at least a top-half finish in the Premier League. Last but not least, West Ham need a much better season than their last, and Graham Potter will be expected to make a strong start given the likelihood of spending this summer and the disappointing impact he had last term.
All of those London clubs now know their Premier League fixtures for the new season, but how have those fixtures impacted the betting odds? Here we take a look at the updated predicted table based on the new market prices on the Premier League’s Fixture Release Day.
Predicted Premier League table 2025/26
Liverpool - 9/4
Arsenal - 5/2
Man City - 11/4
Newcastle United - 16/1
Chelsea - 20/1
Manchester United - 33/1
Tottenham - 70/1
Aston Villa - 70/1
Brighton - 250/1
Nottingham Forest - 300/1
Bournemouth - 350/1
Fulham - 750/1
Everton - 750/1
Crystal Palace - 750/1
West Ham - 750/1
Wolves - 1000/1
Brentford - 1000/1
Leeds United - 1000/1
Burnley - 2000/1
Sunderland - 2500/1
It’s no surprise to see current champions Liverpool remain favourites, especially with the Reds taking a bold approach to the summer transfer window. New signings could see Arsenal get closer in the odds, but they have work to do this summer.
Chelsea could perhaps expect to have better odds, although again, much will depend on their business this summer. Most others are roughly where you would expect, although Crystal Palace have lost ground, likely down to the fact they are expected to lose a top player or two this summer, while Brentford have dropped significantly and that is likely to be because of Frank’s departure.
