The line-up for the 2024/2025 Premier League season was confirmed earlier in May after Southampton’s victory during the Championship play-off finals earned them a spot in the top flight. The Saints managed to outrank Daniel Farke’s men thanks to Adam Armstrong’s strike in the first half, allowing them to join Leicester and Ipswich as the new faces in the league. Southampton returns to the top flight only after a year in the championship.
Leicester were also relegated from the EPL 12 months ago and could find themselves headed back to the Championship after next season if they are given a points deduction due to financial breaches. But who among all the 20 teams is most likely to win the 2024/2025 Premier League Campaign? Here’s a preview of the tight race to the 2024/2025 EPL trophy.
Who will win the 2024/2025 Premier League title?
Reigning champions Manchester City are the overwhelming favorites for the 2024/2025 EPL season as they hope to make history by recording five consecutive title wins. ManCity has won six out of the last seven EPL titles, with Liverpool breaking their sequence during the 2019/2020 season. But can the Citizens make it five title wins in a row?
Well, Manchester City has the deepest and strongest team in the league with a skilled manager and financial resources that their rivals can’t match. That puts them as overwhelming favorites at the start of the season, but the race to the title will be closer than in the past.
While the Citizens might have claimed the trophy again last season, they have shown signs of weakness. For the second consecutive season, Manchester City have failed to claim 10 wins from 38 EPL matches, with seven draws and three losses. They lost to Arsenal and Wolves in back-to-back games before losing against Aston Villa.
Are there any other top contenders for the 2024-2025 EPL campaign?
Considering the Citizens’ current form, Arsenal is expected to push them really close next season and fans can use the free Betfred online bets made available by the Cheeky Punter to wager on them. The Gunners have been the Citizens’ closest title challengers in each of the last two seasons, proving the first time wasn’t a fluke.
Arsenal looked likely to win the premier league title last season, dominating the race until the last weeks. The Gunners were impressive in their 2023/2024 campaign, finishing the season as the second top scorers and with the best defense after only conceding 29 goals. The Gunners also matched Manchester City’s win-draw-loss record that helped the Citizens beat them to the title during the 2022/2023 season.
Liverpool are also strong contenders for the 2024-2025 season after finishing third last season. Their inability to secure wins and too many draws frustrated their attempts to win the title, finishing the race nine points behind the champions, Manchester City, and seven behind the Gunners. Liverpool shows a lot of promise in dominating next season, but it will be interesting to see how the team performs.
