Premier League Outrights Tips for 2025/2026 season

Premier League outright betting is about predicting season-long outcomes such as League Winner, Top Four Finish, Relegation, Golden Glove, and Player Of The Year. Rather than covering single matches, these markets track achievements across the entire campaign. Below are our expert predictions for the 2025/2026 Premier League season.

Who will win the Premier League this season?

Liverpool are the favourites to win the 2025/26 Premier League, generally priced around 7/5 (42%) by major bookmakers. As defending champions with renewed attacking depth, they remain the statistical frontrunners. Yet in our analysis, Arsenal at 15/8 (35%) stand the stronger chance of lifting the title. Their stability under Mikel Arteta, targeted recruitment, and balanced squad across all areas of the pitch make them the most complete contender heading into the season. Manchester City follow in likelihood to win the league at 15/2 (12%).

More details about the 3 candidates most likely to win the Premier League this season is given below.

1. Arsenal (19/10, 35%). Arsenal are our top choice to win the Premier League in 2025/26. Bookmakers price them at 19/10 (35%), and we think that reflects a fully covered squad rather than hype. Arsenal’s record of three straight runner-up finishes demonstrates consistency at the top end of the league and suggests they are primed to finally take the last step. The core group has stayed together for several seasons under Mikel Arteta, which brings continuity and automated patterns in and out of possession. Recruitment has been targeted and high-impact. Viktor Gyökeres adds a true No.9 profile for finishing and pressing, Martin Zubimendi brings control and ball recovery at the base of midfield, and Eberechi Eze supplies ball-carrying and chance creation between the lines. Add the “Bukayo Saka effect” (consistent goals and assists plus elite chance creation from the right) and Arsenal look the most balanced side across attack, midfield, and defense. That’s why we rate them more strongly than the bookmakers do.
2. Liverpool (7/5, 42%). As defending champions, Liverpool are the second strongest candidates to win the Premier League this season, priced at around 7/5, 42%. Besides winning the title last season, The Reds have secured a top-four finish in each of the past three campaigns, restoring stability under Klopp’s final years and continuing that trend under Arne Slot’s first season in charge. This season, the front line has been refreshed with Florian Wirtz (final-third creativity), Hugo Ekitike (box presence and runs in behind) and Jeremie Frimpong (progression and overlaps from wide areas) around Mohamed Salah, last season’s Golden Boot winner (the Premier League’s top-scorer award). Our caution with fully backing Liverpool lies in specific defensive questions that linger from last year, namely exposure in defensive transition when full-backs push high, vulnerability to direct balls and set pieces against physical opponents, and depth stress if first-choice centre-backs or the holding midfielder miss time. The ceiling is title-winning, but the overall balance ranks Liverpool just behind Arsenal on our projections.
3. Manchester City (15/2, 12%). Manchester City are the third most likely contenders for the Premier League title, priced at 8/1 (11.1%). Significant spend has reshaped areas of the squad (Tijjani Reijnders for midfield dynamism, Rayan Aït-Nouri for left-side balance, Rayan Cherki for creativity, James Trafford in goal), yet key structural concerns remain after nine league defeats last season and the departure of Kevin De Bruyne. The experience of Rodri, Spain’s midfield anchor and City’s primary shield in front of the defence, reduces their control and protection in central areas. City still carry immense technical depth, with Haaland and Phil Foden, but on squad balance, recent form, and reduced midfield control, they project as the third favourite.

Who will finish Top 4 in the Premier League this season?

The four teams most likely to finish among the Top 4 in 2025/26 based on odds are Arsenal (1/9, 90%), Liverpool (1/9, 90%), Manchester City (1/3, 75%), and Chelsea (8/13, 62%), based on current bookmaker prices as well as squad depth, transfer activity, and key individuals driving their performance.

More information about the 4 teams most likely to make it to the Top 4 in the Premier League this season is given below.

• Arsenal (1/9, 90%). Arsenal are the joint-favourites to secure a Top 4 place, reflecting their remarkable consistency under Mikel Arteta. The Gunners have finished as runners-up in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, showing they are not only contenders but regulars at the top end of the table. Arsenal’s current odds are a fair reflection of Arsenal’s progress under Mikel Arteta, the former captain who has blended stability with smart recruitment. New signings such as Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish striker who scored 39 goals for Sporting Lisbon last season, and Martin Zubimendi, the Spanish international midfielder from Real Sociedad, have added both firepower and control. With Bukayo Saka, England’s first-choice right winger and Arsenal’s creative leader, continuing to deliver in attack, our view is that Arsenal remain one of the most reliable bets to secure a Top 4 finish – and with it, a guaranteed place in the Champions League.
• Liverpool (1/9, 90%). Liverpool share identical odds to Arsenal and enter this season as defending Premier League champions. The Reds have finished in the Top 4 for three consecutive years, combining Jürgen Klopp’s final campaigns with a smooth handover to new manager Arne Slot. Under Klopp’s management, the team has invested in creativity and youth. Florian Wirtz, one of Europe’s most promising attacking midfielders, Hugo Ekitike, a young French forward, and Jeremie Frimpong, a pacey Dutch full-back, all add new dimensions. Yet despite new talent, the side is still centred around Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s record-breaking Egyptian winger and four-time Golden Boot winner. With the combination of proven stars and exciting recruits, Liverpool firmly remain among the league’s elite. That combination of recent success, consistent high finishes, and squad reinforcements keeps Liverpool firmly established as a prime candidate to win.
• Manchester City (1/3, 75%). Manchester City remain another strong candidate to finish in the Top 4, though their odds trail Arsenal and Liverpool. City have finished in the Top 4 every season since 2010/11, underlining how deeply embedded they are at the upper levels of the Premier League. Manchester City remain one of the league’s dominant forces under Pep Guardiola, a manager with multiple Premier League titles and Champions League wins to his name. With Rodri, Spain’s midfield anchor, returning from injury and Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker who set a Premier League scoring record in 2022/23, leading the attack, City’s depth and firepower continue to make them a fixture in the Premier League’s top-four race.
• Chelsea (8/13, 62%). Chelsea are the most uncertain among the Top 4 betting candidates but still stand as the most likely team to take the last spot in the Premier League Top 4. Their recent track record has been inconsistent, finishing both inside and outside the Top 4 in four of the last five seasons, switching between periods of struggle and recovery each time. Enzo Maresca, who joined as manager after a successful spell at Leicester City, is tasked with moulding a youthful squad with huge potential into a consistent contender. The arrivals of Victor Osimhen and Bruno Guimarães provide new levels of power and control, while academy graduate Reece James remains a cornerstone of their right flank. If Chelsea can maintain fitness and discipline throughout the campaign, their attacking flexibility and midfield balance make them capable of returning to the Champions League places.

Who will relegate in the Premier League this season?

Burnley are the team widely considered most likely to be relegated from the Premier League in 2025/26, priced at 2/5 (71%). Despite winning promotion last season with a dominant Championship campaign, their squad lacks proven Premier League quality and their summer recruitment has not closed the gap to top-flight level. The clubs deemed second and third most at risk of relegation are West Ham at 4/6 (60%) and Wolverhampton Wanderers at 7/4 (36%).

An overview of the 3 most likely EPL teams at risk of relegation in the 2025/26 Premier League follows below.

1. Burnley (2/5, 71%). Burnley are projected as the Premier League club most at risk of relegation in 2025/26, with bookmakers strongly favouring them for the drop. Their promotion under Scott Parker was dominant, yielding 100 points, only 16 goals conceded, and 30 clean sheets, but the jump to the Premier League means they now face stronger attacks every week. Their summer signings, while numerous, do not yet look like proven Premier League performers, and the departure of first-choice goalkeeper James Trafford is a blow. With limited star power and a thin attacking line, Burnley appear under-equipped to survive in the top flight.
2. West Ham (4/6, 60%). Surprisingly, West Ham ranks among the Premier League clubs most vulnerable to relegation in 2025/26 despite a recent top-half pedigree and European success. Their odds have shortened after a poor adjustment under new manager Graham Potter, whose tactical approach has not yet clicked with the squad. The loss of Mohammed Kudus, one of their brightest attacking players, has left a creative void, and no comparable reinforcement has been brought in. Defensively, the Hammers remain inconsistent, especially away from home, which increases the pressure on a squad already lacking depth. All of this combines to make them a genuine candidate for the drop.
3. Wolverhampton Wanderers (7/4, 36%). Wolves are the third Premier League team most likely to be relegated, and their squad looks weaker than last season. The sales of Matheus Cunha, their top scorer, and Rayan Aït-Nouri, their reliable left-back, have stripped both attacking spark and defensive stability. Incoming replacements have been modest in comparison, leaving gaps in quality as well as depth. Manager Vítor Pereira did stabilise the team last season, but he now faces the challenge of working with a thinner, less balanced squad that lacks creativity in midfield and proven firepower up front. Those weaknesses, combined with the strength of rival relegation candidates, make Wolves a strong contender for the Premier League’s bottom three.

Other likely candidates for relegation include Sunderland at 17/20 (54%) and Leeds United at 9/4 (31%), both of whom face significant challenges with squad depth and quality. Brentford are rated at 3/1 (25%), while Nottingham Forest and Fulham are given outside chances at 11/1 (8%) and 10/1 (9%) respectively.

Who is most likely to deliver the most assists of the Premier League season?

The player most likely to finish as the Premier League’s top assist provider in 2025/26 is Mohamed Salah at 9/2 (18.2%). Salah has already provided more than 80 assists for Liverpool, and with his role shifting towards creating chances rather than scoring, he looks set to supply teammates like Hugo Ekitike throughout the season. The second candidate for the Premier League assists award is Bukayo Saka at 13/2 (13.3%). Arsenal’s right winger remains central to their attacking play, and the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres as a true number nine strengthens the likelihood that Saka will finish near the top of the assist rankings once again.

More details on the 2 most likely candidates to deliver the most assists during the Premier League in 2025/26 follow below.

• Mohamed Salah (9/2, 18.2%). Salah is our top choice to deliver the most assists in the Premier League this season. His game has evolved from relying on explosive pace and direct finishing to a more rounded attacking role. Creating goals for others has become a priority, particularly with new striker Hugo Ekitike benefiting from his quick service in the box. Salah has provided more than 80 assists during his Liverpool career, and in Arne Slot’s attacking system, his vision and decision-making are expected to be decisive. With Liverpool projected to remain one of Europe’s highest-scoring sides, Salah is strongly positioned to dominate the assists chart in 2025/26.
• Bukayo Saka (13/2, 13.3%). Saka is our second choice to win the Premier League assists award this season. He leads Arsenal’s creative output from the right flank, consistently combining dribbling, passing, and chance creation. The presence of Viktor Gyökeres as a central striker gives him a natural target for crosses and through balls, raising his assist potential. Saka’s consistency and role in Arsenal’s structured attack explain why he is considered one of the strongest challengers to Salah for the top of the assist table.

In football, an assist is credited to the player who makes the final pass, cross, or touch that directly leads to a teammate score a goal. Beyond Salah and Saka, other likely contenders for the Premier League assists award include Florian Wirtz (11/1, 7.5%), who is expected to add incisive passing at Liverpool, and Cole Palmer (12/1, 7.7%), Chelsea’s emerging playmaker who shined in his first full Premier League season. Both have the creativity to remain consistent contributors, though the current market still views Salah and Saka as the stronger favourites to lead the assist charts.

Who will win the Golden Glove award?

The goalkeeper most likely to win the Premier League Golden Glove in 2025/26 is David Raya, priced by most major bookmakers at around 8/11 (57.9%). Raya’s consistency, Arsenal’s defensive organisation, and a strong track record of clean sheets make him the leading candidate heading into the new season. The second strongest contender for the Golden Glove is Alisson at 11/4 (26.7%), Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper whose reputation as one of the best shot-stoppers in world football makes him a perennial challenger for this award.

More information on the top 2 candidates for EPL Golden Glove Award follows below.

• David Raya (8/11, 57.9%). Raya is our top choice for the Premier League Golden Glove in 2025/26 because his credentials are strong both individually and collectively. Last season he recorded 13 clean sheets, enough to share the award with Matz Sels of Nottingham Forest, and those numbers came from playing behind one of the league’s most disciplined defences under Mikel Arteta. His reflex saves, calmness in one-on-one situations, and accurate distribution reduce pressure on his back line and increase the chances of shutting opponents out. Combined with Arsenal’s system, which consistently ranks among the best for defensive structure, Raya looks well placed to repeat his achievement.
• Alisson (11/4, 26.7%). Alisson is our second choice for the Premier League Golden Glove in 2025/26. The Liverpool goalkeeper has already won this award twice in his career and remains one of the most reliable players in the league. Despite Liverpool’s defensive issues last season, he still ranked among the top Premier League goalkeepers for saves made and expected goals prevented. With Arne Slot bringing more control and compactness to Liverpool’s structure, Alisson is expected to benefit from a tighter defensive unit in front of him, giving him a strong chance to push Raya for the Golden Glove award.

The Premier League Golden Glove is awarded to the goalkeeper who records the most clean sheets over a season. Other names worth highlighting for a potential Golden Glove win this season include Ederson at Manchester City (9/2, 18.2%), who continues to anchor a possession-heavy system that limits opponent chances, and Emiliano Martinez at Aston Villa (12/1, 7.7%), who comes off an excellent 2024/25 campaign and remains vital for a Villa side aiming to stay in the top six.

Who will win PFA Player of the Year award?

Mohamed Salah currently holds the shortest odds to win the 2025/26 PFA Player of the Year, priced at 9/1 (10%). His consistency as Liverpool’s talisman and his elite record for both goals and assists make him the statistical favourite. Yet in our view, Cole Palmer at 12/1 (7.7%) is the more convincing candidate to win Player of the Year this season. Palmer has become Chelsea’s central figure in attack, driving creativity and end product in a youthful side, and his rapid rise in influence gives him a stronger profile to take this award despite the slightly longer odds.

More information on the top 2 candidates for PFA Player of the Year follows below.

• Cole Palmer (12/1). Palmer is an ideal candidate to take out PFA Player of the Year as one of only six Premier League players this season to reach 20+ direct goal involvements, despite not playing as a traditional striker. He leads the division in chances created (71) while ranking second for big chances created (19) as well. That mix of end product and playmaking makes Palmer central to Chelsea’s progress under Enzo Maresca, and his influence has been nothing short of transformative. Palmer’s position as frontrunner for PFA Player of the Year is strengthened by Chelsea’s recruitment, which has surrounded him with greater attacking support. With more options around him, he continues to refine his finishing and vision in the final third. Palmer’s calmness under pressure, steady year-on-year improvement, and growing reputation among teammates and opponents alike make him, in our view, the standout choice for recognition by fellow professionals at the end of the season.
• Mohamed Salah (9/1). The second strongest contender for the PFA Player of the Year is Mohamed Salah, priced at 9/1 (10%). The Egyptian forward remains Liverpool’s talisman and one of the most dominant players in English football. He combines consistent goalscoring with elite chance creation, averaging 0.94 goals and 0.56 intentional assists per 90 minutes. Salah ranks second in the Premier League for shots on target (1.92 per 90) and first for touches in the opposition box (10.95 per 90), underlining his constant attacking presence. With his contract running down, Salah is showing once again why he is regarded as one of the best players not just in the Premier League but in world football. He is Palmer’s main challenger for the award, given his unmatched productivity and durability.

The PFA Player of the Year award is one of English football’s most prestigious individual honours, voted for by the players themselves and awarded to the individual judged to have been the most influential across the Premier League season. Other likely contenders for the PFA Player of the Year award include Declan Rice (12/1, 7.7%), whose influence as Arsenal’s midfield anchor continues to grow, and Virgil van Dijk (11/1, 8.3%), Liverpool’s defensive leader whose consistency and authority at the back keep him central to their success.

What are Premier League Predictions?

Premier League predictions are expert assessments of likely outcomes in English Premier League matches or season-long markets. Premier League forecasts cover a wide range of betting options, including match winners, both teams to score, total goals, first or anytime goalscorers, and long-term bets such as who will win the league or which teams will be relegated. Rather than relying on guesswork, these tips are grounded in detailed analysis and real performance data.

Fans, punters, and analysts use Premier League predictions to gain insight before placing their bets. With the Premier League known for its unpredictability and intense competition, good predictions rely on a thorough understanding of current form, tactical styles, key player availability, historical match outcomes, and bookmaker market trends. At FootballPredictions.com, our team combines statistical modelling with five seasons of league data to create reliable, research-backed predictions each week.

How Are Premier League Predictions Determined?

At FootballPredictions.com, our experts deliver the UK’s most accurate Premier League predictions on a structured process that blends statistical analysis, tactical insight, and market evaluation.

The six key steps required to reach highly accurate Premier League predictions and tips are as follows.

• Collect match basics and stakes
• Compare recent form and table position
• Combine squad news with tactical impact
• Weigh home/away context and head-to-head history
• Review match footage and identify key patterns
• Check markets and make final predictions

1. Collecting match basics and stakes. Every Premier League prediction begins with setting the context of the match. We log the teams, competition, kick-off time, and stadium, but go further by noting whether a side plays at home or away, what the weather is expected to be, and what is at stake. Title races, relegation battles, or rotation risks ahead of European fixtures all influence how teams approach games. Without this grounding, later analysis risks being detached from the reality of Premier League football.
2. Comparing recent form and table position. Once the stage is set, form provides the clearest picture of momentum. For Premier League predictions, we look at the last six results, goals scored and conceded, and current table position to see whether a team is climbing or sliding. Results alone are rarely enough, so expected goals and chance quality are considered to separate short-term luck from consistent performance. This step filters noise and shows which sides bring genuine strength into the next fixture.
3. Combining squad news with impact. Next, Football Predictions’ experts focus on combining squad news with tactical impact. Injuries, suspensions, and returning players influence how a side lines up and what tactical options remain open. For example, the absence of a creative midfielder blunts attacking ideas, while losing a first-choice goalkeeper weakens defensive stability. We look not only at who is unavailable but at how those changes affect pressing, set-piece routines, and transition play, ensuring Premier League predictions reflect the resources truly on the pitch.
4. Studying Home vs away context and head-to-head history. With form and squads assessed, venue and history provide another essential layer. Premier League teams frequently show big contrasts between home and away results, so we weigh those splits carefully. Team A’s home record is measured against Team B’s away record, then head-to-head patterns at the same ground are reviewed for long-running imbalances. Some Premier League fixtures carry dynamics that persist over years, and factoring them in makes predictions more reliable.
5. Reviewing match footage and identifying key patterns. For Premier League predictions, we review recent full matches and highlights to assess pressing triggers, defensive transitions, set-piece routines, and the sharpness of key individuals. This step shows whether statistical patterns actually match behaviour on the pitch. By combining tactical scouting with metrics, predictions become sharper and less dependent on numbers alone.
6. Checking markets and making predictions. The last step connects analysis to betting reality. We review bookmaker odds, turn them into implied probabilities, and compare them with the model built from earlier steps. When our Premier League predictions suggest stronger chances than the market implies, we identify value. That value is then shaped into betting advice, confidence ranges, alternative markets such as Over/Under or BTTS, and an actionable rating that makes the prediction practical.

When are Premier League Predictions released?

Premier League predictions are released twice a week, every Monday at 12:00 PM London Time and again on midweek matchdays at 12:00 PM London Time, the day after the previous round of games is completed. This schedule ensures that predictions are always based on the latest results, team news, and developments, giving readers the freshest possible insight.

Our goal is to make each set of predictions both timely and reliable. The analysis is published only once every match has been reviewed and double-checked by our experts, which means readers receive forecasts that combine accuracy with context.

For those seeking tips for matches played on the same day, all of the latest predictions are available directly on our football predictions page, updated to reflect any late changes.

What are the most appealing betting markets for the Premier League?

The most appealing betting markets for the Premier League are Match Result, Both Teams to Score (BTTS), and Over/Under 2.5 Goals. These three markets stand out because they combine long-term statistical consistency with the unpredictability that makes Premier League football so popular. Bettors are drawn to them not only for their popularity but also because league-wide data provides clear reference points that help identify value.

More detail on the 3 most appealing betting markets for the Premier League is given below.

• Match Result (Home Win, Draw, Away Win). The Match Result market, sometimes called 1X2, is the most traditional football bet. It asks bettors to predict whether a game will end in a home win, draw, or away win. In the Premier League, outcomes are distributed quite evenly, with home wins making up 38–48% of games across the past five seasons, away wins ranging between 29% and 40%, and draws stable at 22–24%. This balance highlights how the league combines the strength of home support with the regularity of away success, keeping the market competitive and central to Premier League betting.
• Both Teams to Score (BTTS). The BTTS market is settled simply on whether both sides find the net during a match. In the Premier League, attacking quality across the table means that this outcome is always a strong possibility. Over the last five seasons, BTTS has landed between 49% and 62% of the time. Fixtures between evenly matched or attack-minded teams often push the rate even higher, reflecting how open and unpredictable games can become. This blend of balance and high-scoring potential explains why BTTS remains a favourite choice for Premier League bettors.
• Over 2.5 Goals. Over/Under markets revolve around predicting whether the total number of goals in a game will finish above or below a set line. The most common benchmark is Over 2.5, meaning three or more goals scored in total. Premier League matches have averaged between 2.69 and 3.28 goals per game over the past five seasons, with Over 2.5 hitting in 50–65% of fixtures. The steady presence of elite attackers and aggressive tactical setups across the division makes this market statistically reliable, and one of the most popular ways to bet on Premier League football.

A summary of the key Premier League outcomes from the last five seasons for these 3 key markets is provided in the table below.

Premier League Season Guide

The Premier League 2025/26 season is the 34th edition of the competition, with 20 clubs each playing 38 matches to produce a total of 380 games. The campaign opened on 15 August 2025 and will conclude on 24 May 2026, with fixture planning shaped by the expanded UEFA league-phase competitions and the traditional Boxing Day and festive fixtures. The season is the first full campaign to feature semi-automated offside technology from the start, and Puma has taken over from Nike as the official match ball supplier after 25 years.

The sections below outline the competition’s structure, the scheduling process, and the key dates that define the current Premier League season.

What Is the Format of the Premier League 2025/26 Season?

The format of the Premier League 2025/26 season follows the traditional double round-robin structure, which means that each of the 20 clubs faces every other club twice, once at home and once away. This setup produces 38 matches per team and a total of 380 fixtures across the season.

Which are the Best Bookmakers for Premier League Betting?

The best bookmakers for Premier League betting are those that combine competitive odds, depth of markets, and promotions tailored to the season, while offering reliable in-play features and a smooth mobile experience. By this criteria, our picks for the best Premier League bookmakers are Bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, and Sky Bet.

More information about the 4 best bookmakers for Premier League betting follows below.

• Bet365. Bet365 sets the benchmark for Premier League betting. Their strength lies in the breadth of markets, from standard win odds to detailed player stats such as bookings and completed passes. The Bet Builder tool is one of the most comprehensive available, allowing multiple Premier League selections to be combined in a single slip. Features such as live match stats, expected goals data, and promotions like Early Payout make Bet365 a practical choice for bettors who want depth and flexibility, particularly when wagering on the Premier League.
• William Hill. William Hill remains a strong option for Premier League betting thanks to a balance of traditional coverage and modern features. The #YourOdds function lets users request custom Premier League bets through the app or via X, which are then priced up by traders. This, combined with generally competitive odds and regular boosts, makes William Hill a reliable bookmaker for bettors looking for variety and customisation, especially for the Premier League.
• Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes is well regarded among Premier League bettors for its accumulator and Bet Builder promotions. Their acca boost increases payouts on successful accumulators, while acca insurance returns a free bet if one leg loses. These features are particularly relevant in the Premier League, where many punters like to combine multiple fixtures in a single slip. Ladbrokes’ focus on accumulators gives it a clear role among the leading bookmakers for Premier League betting.
