Premier League Betting Predictions, Top Scorer, 1-20, Odds 2025/26

Read our expert insights, predictions and tips for the 2025/26 Premier League season as we look at odds for the winner, promotion, relegation and the top goalscorer, as well as a 1-20.

After a decent go at the predictions last season, we are back with this season's predictions for the upcoming Premier League season. I have also signed up to stick my neck out a little more with a 1-20, so stay tuned for that.

I have reviewed the statistics, teams, and transfers, and I think I've compiled a decent list of odds. So, without further ado, let's get into it.

Who Will Win the Premier League Title?

Picking out a Premier League winner this season is really tough. There are, in my eyes, only three credible challengers for the league this season, and picking one is a very difficult task, indeed. So, I'm going to pick two.

The obvious first candidates are Liverpool, who will be well up for the fight this season. After winning last season's title in dominant fashion, there will not really be any surprises if they are involved once again.

The summer spending has been ludicrous, with more than £260 million spent already, and it could yet increase with Alexander Isak involved in one of the biggest transfer sagas that we have seen in recent years.

I cannot really see any faults in the squad, the defence is strong, the midfield has progressed and the front line looks incredible. However, if Isak arrives, it creates a bit of a question for me. How and where does everyone fit in?

Arne Slot is a top-class manager, so I have no doubts that he can work out a way to make it work. However, having such a quality squad could actually be more of a curse than a blessing if not managed right.

Then, I quite like the price for Manchester City. 7/2 feels a little high for a team who have invested significantly too, and I think that holes from last year have been addressed, probably a year later than they should have been.

With £342m spent in 2025 so far, the spending power of the Citizens has not dwindled. So, players like Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki can be big additions to an already strong squad.

In addition to this, the Sky Blues have also shed some of the ageing members of their squad. Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker were both moved on, in favour of younger names, given both could no longer offer what they once could to Pep Guardiola.

An end of an era, but there is the potential that a new one can start just as quickly this season. They will certainly be in contention for the top spot.

Who Will Get Top 4 in the Premier League?

It is entirely possible that those two could only be involved in the general race for a Top Four spot. Likewise any of these teams could push for the title...

Starting with Arsenal then, who probably should be in the above section, in fairness to them. However, I am just unsure about whether this will be the year that it clicks. It obviously has come close to all coming together before.

But, there is just a general issue with them falling in the late stages and regardless of their spending this summer, I'm unsure if that mentality will be instilled in them just yet. It is a very young squad, so there is definitely the potential for it to do so.

For now, though, I am going to put them in the category below.

In fourth, then, I am going with Chelsea. Who have spent more money this summer, staggeringly. At this point, it makes little sense, but the Blues are building a few squads for the future it seems! Nevertheless, they have also improved the base for the upcoming year.

Enzo Maresca's side were successful in America at the Club World Cup, beating the European champions PSG emphatically.

Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato and Liam Delap all add a great amount of quality to a young side, with the quartet arriving for more than £150 million. It may just be too much to compete with for others...

Who Will Get Top 6 in the Premier League?

Just for the sake of covering more than four teams, it is worth going over the Top Six for this season, ignoring the teams above.

Newcastle United, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham are the four favourites, below the pre-listed Top Four candidates. I have to say that this feels a little questionable though.

Starting with Newcastle, I have a lot of reservations regarding the quality of their squad. Their midfield is superb and their front line is certainly strong, but defensively there are questions to be asked and Aaron Ramsdale's signing doesn't really inspire me.

Perhaps some of the funds if Isak leaves could be reinvested into the defence too. However, I think it might be just out of reach this season for Eddie Howe's side, especially with the Champions League to also contend with.

Manchester United are a really difficult one to assess right now, and I am umming and arring about their position. They were dreadful last season and the constant chopping and changing of managers showed to take a massive effect.

This summer they have invested in two big names, and kept the entirety of the squad that ended last season. Perhaps, there could be some late outgoings, though.

Aston Villa have gone under the radar this summer, largely because they've done very little. There has not been effectively no movement in the transfer market, which is surprising after qualifying for Europe again.

Then we have Tottenham Hotspur, who have strengthened well this summer. Thomas Franks' hiring is really interesting and it could take a little time to get the squad to gel to his style. Nevertheless, there is a lot to be positive about.

Which is why I am saying that they, alongside Manchester United will qualify for the top six. Spurs have invested very strongly so far and have made needed signings in key areas, whilst also strengthening the front line.

With the Red Devils, the lack of European football gives few excuses to not feature in the Top Six. Investment is there, even if there are still a few questions to be asked about the squad. However, others may just be left overwhelmed by the competition.

Who Will Be Relegated From the Premier League?

With the top end of the table looked at, now we need to look at the bottom side of the division, and there are some interesting teams in the relegation picture, in my eyes.

I was surprised that Burnley are not the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season, in honesty, and I think they will really struggle. Their squad was good in the Championship, and they were clearly a class above.

However, the top flight is a completely different kettle of fish, one that I'm not sure the Clarets will be able to take to. It could end up being a long year for Scott Parker's side, one that they may wish to end sooner than possible.

Whilst Leeds United have a better squad and have made some more challenging signings, I am really wary of Daniel Farke's managerial record in the Premier League. The German has never impressed in the top-flight barring the odd result here and there.

For me, the Whites' hopes will rest on the faith placed on Farke's shoulders. Reports have previously suggested that a move could have been made this summer. However, if they feel any sign of discontent, they need to make changes.

Finally, I am struggling to pick between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford. Though, I think I am just leaning towards the Midlands outfit. Vitor Pereira saved their season in 2024/25, but there may just be too much to contend with this year.

Others around them have strengthened and the loss of Matheus Cunha is a significant blow, especially when he has been directly responsible for most of their recent successes.

It will certainly be close at the bottom, though, which the odds represent.

Who Will Be the Premier League's Top Scorer?

The top goalscorer race this season could be really interesting, and it all depends on the end of the summer window. At present, Alexander Isak is priced at 6/1, which feels way low for if he is to remain at Newcastle United.

If he heads to Liverpool, though, that price will drop massively. It is a risk, and I'm unsure if it is worth the risk whilst everything is up in the air...

So, I am going to go for Erling Haaland, just on the measure of safety, at least for now. Perhaps at the end of the window we can come back to this, or even sooner.

The Norwegian scored 22 goals in 31 games last season, which was his worst in England. However, it is not a bad record at all. With Liverpool strengthening their front line, it may mean that Mo Salah's output drops slightly, so for now, I think Haaland is the pick for me.
