Who are the Favorites for Winning the EPL Title in the Upcoming Season?
All major bookmakers, including those reviewed by betting.co.uk, have already revealed their favorites for winning the English Premier League title this upcoming season that kicks off in less than two months. To understand which teams have the best winning odds, we have to take a look at the most recent transfers, and some of these are pretty surprising.
The defending champion Manchester City signed several new players, including one of the most prominent young superstars, Erling Haaland, who joined the team after leaving Borussia Dortmund, where he played for two whole seasons. In sixty-seven appearances, amazing Haaland scored sixty-two goals. With such an impeccable performance over the last two seasons, there is no wonder why Manchester City is so excited to have him on the squad.
Aside from signing Erling Haaland, the Citizens also revealed several other new signings on its official website, including Kalvin Phillips, who left Leeds, Stefan Ortega, who joined the team from Arminia Bielefeld, and Julian Alvarez, who joined the squad after leaving River Plate where he spent four seasons. Of course, Manchester City has other superstars on its team in the first place Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, and Benjamin Silva.
Top Three Contenders for Winning the Title
According to most bookmakers, Manchester City has excellent odds of winning its seventh title this upcoming season, alongside two other teams, Liverpool and Tottenham. On the list of contenders for winning the EPL title this forthcoming season, Chelsea and Manchester United are fourth and fifth placed with 18/1 and 33/1 odds, respectively.
As we all know, Manchester City won four titles in the last five seasons, so there is no wonder why this squad is the primary contender for winning the title once again. The addition of amazing Haaland can only make the team more robust, as the young Norwegian will be looking to get his name on the list of the top EPL strikers of all time.
In addition, Manchester City has funding to sign several other players to boost its performance, even though it already has a fantastic squad that can win the title again. In fact, it will take an exceptional team or circumstance to stop the Citizens from winning the EPL title again.
Liverpool was also doing great the last season. However, it missed the opportunity to win the title the previous season by just one point. Needless to say, the squad is highly determined to lift the EPL trophy in the upcoming season, even more than the Citizens.
While Tottenham has not won the EPL title since 1961, everyone on the team feels optimistic about the upcoming season, and we understand why. The team has Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. The addition of Yves Bissouma also made the team more potent, so we have Tottenham as one of the major contenders for winning the title this upcoming season.
