All is set for the English Premier League 2024/25 campaign with Manchester United playing the first match against Fulham at Old Trafford on 16th August. EPL is one of the most followed leagues across Europe and all eyes will be on the new season.
Who will win the 2024/25 title?
Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool went toe to toe until the end of last campaign, with Pep Guardiola’s men winning the league. Arsenal finished second on the log, with just two points behind the Citizens, this being the second season in a row.
All eyes will be once again on these two teams, Arsenal and Manchester City to be specific as it stands they are the only sides that look competitive. City remain the favourites on paper as it stands but Arsenal are just a player away from becoming a proper team ahead of the new season.
This is the chance for Arsenal to end their English Premier League drought and win it on the third attempt in a row.
1xbet has given Arsenal 3.25 odds for the Gunners to win them to lift this season’s trophy.
Who will make top four?
Four teams will be chasing for the top four finish, with three qualifying for the Champions League while the fourth goes to qualifiers. Without a doubt, City and Arsenal have all what it takes to secure the first two spots, now the question is, who will join them.
Despite a change in their coaching staff, Liverpool is expected to have a strong run in the Premier League and secure a third-place finish. Meanwhile, Chelsea, who showed signs of becoming a complete team towards the end of last season, are anticipated to finish fourth in the standings.
According to the odds provided by 1xbet, Manchester City is heavily favored to finish in the top four of the Premier League, with odds of 1.08. Arsenal also has strong odds at 1.25, indicating a high likelihood of securing a top-four position. Liverpool, despite recent changes in their coaching staff, have odds of 1.5, reflecting expectations of a solid performance this season. Chelsea, who showed significant improvement towards the end of last season, have odds of 2.4, suggesting they are also strong contenders for a top-four finish.
Who will be relegated?
Leicester City, Ipswich and Southampton were all promoted to the main league at the end of the season. As per last season, all the teams that also got promotions, went back to the Championship in the end.
According to 1xbet, the odds suggest that Leicester City, with odds of 1.4, Ipswich Town, at 1.727 odds, and Southampton, at 2.375 odds, are the most likely teams to finish in the bottom three positions of the Premier League this season, occupying places 18th to 20th. These odds reflect a strong belief that these teams will struggle throughout the campaign and face relegation challenges, making them the prime candidates to drop out of the top tier.
2024/25 EPL predicted top scorer
Last season’s top scorers were led by Erling Haaland of Manchester City with 27 goals, followed by Cole Palmer of Chelsea with 22 goals, Dominic Solanke of Bournemouth with 20 goals, and Alexander Isak of Newcastle United also with 20 goals.
Considering Manchester City’s strong attacking lineup and the creative prowess of Kevin De Bruyne behind the prolific Erling Haaland, it is highly likely that Haaland will secure the Golden Boot this season.
His exceptional goal-scoring ability, coupled with City’s offensive strength, makes him the top candidate to finish as the league’s highest scorer once again.
