As the season enters its decisive phase, the Premier League 2025/26 winner odds no longer suggest the trophy is finally heading back to North London after the Gunners lost 2-1 to Manchester City on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal had established a commanding position at the summit of the table, but if Pep Guardiola’s side win their remaining five matches they will most likely be crowned champions.
Aston Villa and Manchester United remain mathematically involved, but the betting markets have now narrowed down to a clear two-horse race to succeed Liverpool as champions.

Manchester City Sprinting to the Finish Line
Never write off Manchester City.
That has been the golden rule of the Premier League for the last decade.
Pep Guardiola’s side can overtake the Gunners with a 2-0 win over Burnley and are the only team capable of perfection in the final months of the season.
Having dropped from 7/1 to 6/5 and now 8/13, the odds reflect the psychological pressure City are exerting with their form, illustrated with their recent 3-0 demolition of Chelsea.
Looking to reclaim the crown they lost to Liverpool last season, City are masters of the run-in, famously relentless when the finish line comes into view.
While they have shown rare vulnerability against mid-table sides this year, their experience in navigating high-pressure title races remains their greatest weapon.
They won’t let the Gunners walk to the title; Arsenal will have to be near-perfect to keep them at bay.
Arsenal Wobbling But Still Clinging To Hope of Ending Title Drought
Once again, Arsenal enter the business end of the season as the team to beat.
The Gunners find themselves back in the familiar position of title favourites, but the ghosts of previous challenges still loom large at the Emirates.
They have thrown away similar leads in the past, and until they mathematically cross the line, doubts over their mental fortitude will remain.
At 6/5, the market implies a probability that Arteta’s side have let slip the position to lift the club’s first league title in over two decades.
With the club being leading contenders in the Champions League winner odds, perhaps fatigue is now playing a part in the title charge.
