Premier League title prediction: who will win the 2025-26 Premier League?

After three consecutive seasons of finishing second place, it is now or never for the Gunners. They’ve made all the right moves in the offseason, bringing in top-class talent in the likes of Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres, which addresses the two major concerns for Arsenal fans heading into the new season. Arsenal’s trio of Rice, Odegaard and Zubimendi will be right up there as one of the very best midfields in the Premier League, and other signings such as Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard and Cristian Mosquera give the Gunners additional cover in key areas.

Gyokeres is the signing that will really get the fans excited though. Arsenal finally got their hands on a proper number nine and a player that has shown a lethal scoring touch in his last two seasons at Sporting. The 27-year-old had an unreal return for the Portuguese champions, posting 123 goal contributions (97 goals and 26 assists) in 102 appearances during his time there, which included 39 league goals in 33 Liga Portugal matches last year.

With a team that is bursting with depth, Arsenal are going all-in on the 2025-26 season. Failure to deliver one of the two big prizes in either the Premier League or Champions League could throw Mikel Arteta’s future with Arsenal into doubt. To start the year, last season’s runners-up are looking like the most reliable choice to finally end their 21-year Premier League drought. Our 2025-26 Premier League prediction: Arsenal champions!

Premier League Top 4 prediction: which teams will qualify for the Champions League?

Betting on the Premier League also means betting on which teams will participate in European competition. As usual, in addition to the future champion of England, the teams finishing second, third and fourth in the Premier League will punch their tickets to the Champions League 2025-2026 edition. Our prediction for these four Champions League places is as follows: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea in the top 4!

The trio of Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City come into the 2025-26 season as the top contenders for the league title, which makes them obvious choices for a top three finish. Behind them, Chelsea will be looking to secure the top four for a second straight year, and our experts believe they have what it takes to do just that.

2025-26 Premier League prediction - Top 4 odds

• Liverpool - 1.062
• Arsenal - 1.12
• Man City - 1.36
• Chelsea - 1.36
• Man United - 4.50
• Tottenham - 4.50
• Newcastle - 5.50
• Aston Villa - 10.00
• Brighton - 13.00
• Bournemouth - 17.00
• Nottingham Forest - 21.00

Which Premier League team(s) could qualify for the Europa League?

In addition to the FA Cup winner, the eventual fifth-placed Premier League team will qualify for the UEFA Europa League for the 2025-2026 season. There are sure to be plenty of clubs involved in the fight for the top five including Newcastle, Manchester United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

For our money, Newcastle looks like a dependable choice to finish in the top five. They’ve achieved the feat in two of the last three seasons and, if they are able to keep hold of star striker Alexander Isak for the 2025-26 season, will have to be considered the top candidates outside of the four teams mentioned above. Our 2025-26 Premier League top 5 prediction: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle!

Which Premier League club will Qualify for the Europa Conference League?

Depending on which team wins both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, the sixth-place finishing team could also earn a spot in either the Europa League or the Conference League for the 2026-27 season. Considered Europe's third most prestigious cup, the Conference League has already seen Tottenham and Aston Villa pass through, but above all West Ham and Chelsea who won it in 2022-23 and 2024-25, respectively.

Once again, it's very difficult to make a prediction without seeing the teams in action yet. Aston Villa, Tottenham, Brighton, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest should all be in the mix. However, the Villains have shown great strides under manager Unai Emery and their quarter-final appearance in last season’s Champions League suggest that this team will push for a top six, and possibly even a top five finish this season. Our 2025-26 Premier League top 6 prediction: Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa!

Relegation predictions: which EPL club will finish in the bottom three?

At the very bottom of the table, the fight to avoid relegation to the Championship also promises to be intense in the Premier League this season. As a reminder, the clubs ranked 18th, 19th and 20th at the end of the league season will be relegated to the second tier for the 2025-2026 season.

Leeds United do still possess enough Premier League quality players in their squad, making them the most likely of the three promoted teams to avoid the drop. If you’re looking for value, one of either Wolverhampton or Brentford to go down could be a viable choice. Wolves lost star striker Matheus Cunha to Manchester United, along with wing back Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City. Brentford, meanwhile, lost influential manager Thomas Frank to Spurs, star Bryan Mbeumo to the Red Devils and captain Christian Norgaard to Arsenal. Of the two, we’re not convinced Wolves have done enough in the transfer market so far while Brentford still have a decent percentage of the squad that managed to finish 10th last year still intact. Our 2025-26 Premier League relegation prediction: Sunderland, Burnley and Wolverhampton!

2025-26 Premier League prediction - odds on the relegation favourites

• Burnley - 1.36
• Sunderland - 1.83
• Wolverhampton - 1.83
• Leeds - 3.25
• Brentford - 3.50
• West Ham - 3.50
• Nottingham Forest - 7.00
• Fulham - 9.00
• Everton - 15.00
• Crystal Palace - 15.00
• Man City - 17.00

Premier League top scorer prediction 2025-26: which player will score the most goals?

In addition to numerous other bets we’ve mentioned, there’s also the possibility to wager on an individual player title that has historic importance in the English Premier League: that of the season’s top goal scorer! In 2025-2026, which striker can become England's top scorer? Here's a list of the players who should be in the hunt for the coveted award:

• Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
• Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
• Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
• Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)
• Dominic Solanke (Tottenham)
• Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
• Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
• Alexander Isak (Liverpool)
• Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool)
• Matheus Cunha (Man United)

After winning the top goalscorer award in two straight seasons (which included breaking the single-season goalscoring record in his first year), Norwegian cyborg Erling Haaland was dethroned in 2024-25 after Liverpool’s Mo Salah posted one of the most prolific campaigns in Premier League history. The Egyptian finished with 29 goals and 18 assists, tying the record for most goal involvements in a single season at 47.

So, will Haaland be able to return to the league's goal scoring summit in 2025-26? Or will one of the other contenders such as Alexander Isak or Arsenal’s new signing Viktor Gyokeres step up and claim the award? It’s hard to bet against Haaland having another down year (by his standards - he still managed 22 league goals last season). With Manchester City expected to have a bounce-back year, we also think there is a good possibility that the Haaland recaptures the scintillating type of form that saw him score 90 goals in 98 appearances across all competitions in his first two seasons with the Citizens.

2025-26 Premier League prediction - top goalscorer odds

• Erling Haaland - 1.90
• Viktor Gyokeres  - 7.50
• Mohamed Salah - 11.00
• Joao Pedro - 11.00
• Hugo Ekitike - 15.00
• Alexander Isak - 17.00
• Cole Palmer - 29.00
• Benjamin Sesko - 34.00
• Ollie Watkins - 41.00
• Cody Gakpo - 41.00
• Dominic Solanke - 41.00
• Richarlison - 41.00

Beginners Guide to how the English Premier League works

The Premier League is the highest division in English football. This elite competition pits England's top 20 teams against each other via a system of home and away matches. Initially, all the clubs meet once, and then the reverse fixtures are played as the season progresses. In all, there are 38 match days on the calendar, for a total of 380 games.

At the end of the Premier League season this is what happens: 

• The club ranked first is champion of England and qualifies for the Champions League.
• The clubs ranked 2nd, 3rd and 4th qualify for the Champions League group stages.
• The 5th-placed club qualifies for the Europa League (and potentially the 6th, depending on who wins the FA Cup).
• The club ranked 6th or 7th qualifies for the Europa Conference League (depending on who wins the English League Cup)
• Clubs finishing 18th, 19th and 20th are relegated to the Championship.

There is therefore a lot at stake in the English Premier League. This explains why making predictions on Premier League games is obviously one of the most popular at the best online bookmakers by English punters every weekend.

How to make good predictions on Premier League matches?

To make a winning Premier League prediction, you first need to have a good knowledge of the league, but you also need to use your betting skills. As a specialist in the Premier League for many years, SportyTrader offers you its main and best tips for making the right predictions:

• Check the form of each Premier League team
• Take into account the clubs' fixture lists
• Take note of the list of players absent from the Premier League
• Look at the psychological context of the PL match
• Analysis of the latest Premier League statistics

These 5 tips for predicting Premier League matches are among the most important according to our betting experts, but they are obviously not the only ones. Find out more about each one below!

Bet on the Premier League

Consider the form of each Premier League team

To make a reliable Premier League prediction, the first thing you need to do is check the latest results of the clubs you are predicting. For example, a club like Manchester United are playing Brentford but have not won in 5 games, while the visitors are on a 9-game unbeaten run. At Old Trafford, the Red Devils will obviously start as favourites but, in this situation, a reliable prediction might be to try the double chance of a draw or Brentford. An in-form squad will always be preferable for your Premier League bets.

To go a little further on this point, we think it's important to remind you of one thing: you shouldn't just look at the scores of recent matches, but also analyse the key statistics. How many goals are a side scoring and conceding? What is their home or away form in recent matches? Are they performing well in key metrics such as expected goals, big chances created and touches in the opposition box? This data is obviously going to help you in making your prediction. 

Take into account the clubs' fixture list

The second point we think is important to take into account when making Premier League predictions, but also football predictions in general: you need to check each team's fixture list before making a bet. Let's take the example of a clash between Everton and Arsenal. It's important to note that the Toffees are not playing in European competition this season, while Arsenal are in the Champions League. This means Everton won’t have as many games to play as their opponents.

Now let's imagine that the Gunners have just played Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and will travel to the San Siro next week before playing Manchester United in the league. Arsenal are likely to rotate their squad so some top players might be left out for the game against Everton. You need to be wary of this when making your prediction on the game. 

As you will have gathered, teams' sometimes overcrowded schedules can explain some unexpected results and coaching decisions. If possible, we advise you to wait for the official line-up before placing your bet. This could more than once save you from losing money.

Take a look at the list of players missing in the Premier League

Following on from the previous tip, which was to consult the team's line-up or at least the group of players called up, the players absent for a given match or period of time will be important. Whether it's due to injury, suspension, family reasons, being left out of the squad or some other reason, key players are sometimes absent, and this may have a huge impact on their club's results.

Is the captain injured? Is the usual goalkeeper suspended? Check the absences carefully and don't place large bets when making a Premier League prediction if you notice any major absences. This could obviously help you avoid some costly losses.

Focus on the psychological context of the PL match

Focusing on the psychological side of the match you want to bet on is also very important if you want to make a good prediction. A number of factors need to be taken into account in English football: whether or not there is a rivalry between the clubs, the various statements made by players and/or coaches before the match, a tense final encounter or a problem that has arisen, a major issue at stake in the match, etc. There are a huge number of things that can have a mental impact on teams and players, and this factor is certainly not to be overlooked.

If you're a fan of goal predictions, such as "both teams score" or an Over on the Premier League, for example, you'll need to be wary of high-pressure fixtures (such as a duel for survival at the very end of the season or a derby), which can be less prolific in terms of goals. Look at how important the game is to each club. A team that can’t qualify for Europe but are safe from relegation may begin to experiment with their starting line-up and blood new players. Other scenarios are possible, and it's up to you to analyse them carefully and take them into account. If you don't want to miss out on anything, our expert tipsters obviously do so for each of their Premier League match predictions!

Analyse the latest Premier League statistics

The fifth and final piece of vital advice is to systematically analyse the statistics for each team in the Premier League! In fact, knowing the different stats will help you to place better bets on the matches, and to make expert predictions on the different alternative bets (Over/Under, exact score, match result, half with the most goals, goalscorer, etc.).

Has a team seen the "both teams score" prediction in a high percentage of its Premier League matches since the start of the 2025-26 season? If so then that stat has a good chance of coming up again in their next fixture. That’s just one of the many examples you can use to analyse the statistics. And don't hesitate to take advantage of the welcome bonuses offered by the best bookmakers on the market if you want to try a few bets.

Before concluding this section on our tips for making good predictions, please note that each of our editors always takes these 5 points and many others into account when making each Premier League prediction throughout the season.

As you can see, by simply consulting our Premier League match predictions, you can be sure of having the most reliable overall view of the matches. If you haven't already done so, get into the habit of reading our predictions before each Premier League match, especially if you're planning to place bets with the operators!

What not to do for your Premier League predictions

In order to make as many Premier League predictions as possible, there are a few things you should avoid doing. Here are the main ones that we strongly advise you to avoid when making a prediction on a Premier League match: 

• Not analysing the Premier League match
• Take into account only a club's prestige and not its form
• Not analysing the odds on offer and missing the most attractive one
• Betting on a Premier League match with nothing at stake at the end of the season
• Wanting to make up for losing a bet
• Betting on bookmakers' boosted odds without carrying out an analysis
• Betting repeatedly on your favourite team

All too often, both beginners and more experienced punters get caught out and lose bets and money far too easily by adopting one of these bad habits. This is something to be avoided in the new Premier League season!

Premier League prediction: statistics you need to know

If you want to make the most of your Premier League bets, you'll also need to know the key statistics for the English league. Here are the most important ones to remember for your Premier League predictions, all taken from the previous edition (2024-25) of the competition:

• Home wins: 41%
• Draws: 24%
• Away wins: 35%
• Average goals: 2.93 goals per game
• +0.5 goals: 96%
• -0.5 goals: 4%
• +1.5 goals: 81%
• -1.5 goals: 19%
• +2.5 goals: 56%
• -2.5 goals: 44%
• +3.5 goals: 34%
• -3.5 goals: 66%
• +4.5 goals: 16%
• -4.5 goals: 84%
• Goal timing distribution: 76-90 minutes (23%)
• First half goals: 46%
• Second half goals: 54%
• Average home team goals: 1.51
• Average away team goals: 1.42
• “Both teams to score: yes”: 56% of matches
• Average shots per match: 23.90 shots
• Wins by 2 goals or more (handicap): 39.7% of matches
• Correct score 0-0: 4.2% of matches
• Correct score 1-1: 11.9% of matches
• Most frequent score: 2-1 or 1-2 (16.3% of games)

When betting on the Premier League, it might therefore be worth opting for the “Over 2.5 goals” and even the “Over 3.5” bets. Other interesting bets include “both teams score”. Great odds await you, and when you're talking about an attacking league like the Premier League, it's worth taking a chance!

As for the 1X2, it's hard to say, as the level is fairly homogenous, with a large number of very good teams, capable of winning both at home and on the road. As you can see from the success percentages, it's very much a mixed bag compared with other leagues!

In the event of really interesting odds, the exact score 2-1 or 1-2 is also an alternative that could win you a few euros. Even if nothing is guaranteed in advance, and even less so on this type of bet. In any case, the Premier League is a very offensive championship!
