For the second season running, last year’s efforts looked destined to bring the Premier League trophy back to north London but Arsenal fell short in the run-in.
Manchester City and Pep Guardiola’s side managed to make it three-for-three as they picked up momentum when it was needed and got the results that were required to win the title. Arsenal arguably helped them with a few poor results toward the backend of the campaign, leaving many upset with a familiar story from the year before.
With solid recruitment to the playing squad, many of the Arsenal faithful felt that they were in a good position to challenge. The likes of David Raya, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz all experienced moments of excellence throughout the season, as did some of those who have been at the club for a while, with William Saliba and Martin Odegaard among the standouts.
As the season progressed, expectations got higher as it appeared the Premier League title could finally be the Gunners for the first time in over two decades. Performances were generally good throughout the majority of the season, making it even harder to swallow the fact that the Cityzens were the champions once all 38 games were played.
While that disappointment will be behind those at the Club, now is the time to look forward and ahead to the 2024/25 Premier League season. The Gunners will want to get it finally right, with Mikel Arteta’s team clearly showing their eligibility as main candidates.
The bookmakers who provide the latest betting odds that can be found based on the team are also appearing to back them to do well in the upcoming campaign, with some expecting more of the same.
According to these newest odds Arsenal have, they are second-favorite to win the title at 3.00. Unsurprisingly, they are behind Manchester City once again in this particular race, with their rivals at 2.10. For those looking ahead to the start of the season and the opening game of the campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers, it’s possible to place a bet on this game with the Gunners already the huge favorites ahead of the contest.
Fans will be expecting more of the same, and depending on player performances and possible new recruits, it’ll be interesting to see what happens throughout the season.
