2025-26 English Premier League odds: Liverpool is favorite to repeat as EPL champion
Liverpool (84 points) finished 10 points clear of the field and ahead of second-place Arsenal.
Oddsmakers expect a similar battle atop the standings this season.
Currently, Liverpool is the favorite at +175 odds at BetMGM to defend its title, followed by Arsenal (+240) and Manchester City (+300).
However, it's two other EPL squads that bettors are backing at longer odds, as the most-bet team by total wagers is Chelsea (+900), with 19.3% of bets at BetMGM. The Blues finished fourth in the Premier League last season.
The other team garnering plenty of action is 20-time Premier League winner Manchester United, which opened with 33-1 odds and is now down to 28-1 after taking in 14.1% of bets (fourth most), but a whopping 33.4% of the total dollars wagered. The Red Devils represent the worst outcome currently for the sportsbook.
Liverpool — and the soccer world — has also been dealing with the tragic passing of former midfielder Diogo Jota from a car accident in July. The club will retire Jota's No. 20 jersey this season.
Burnley and Sunderland have the longest odds of any team at 1000-1.

Inter Milan Linked Italy Star To Leave PSG – Premier League Clubs On Alert
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to leave PSG, with clubs from the Premier League on alert to sign the Italian international. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908. By now, the situation of Gianluigi Donnarumma at Paris Saint-Germain is well-known. The Parisians have just made a big money signing goal in the form of Lucas Chevallier from Lille. That looks like a clear statement of intent from PSG. Particularly considering that contract extension talks between the European champions and Donnarumma have stalled. The 26-year-old former AC Milan keeper has rejected the offer of a new deal worth €8 million net per season plus €4 million in add-ons. This is in line with the Parisians' policy of focusing on younger players and not offering big contracts to older players. Therefore, as things stand, Donnarumma is just one year away from the expiration of his contract. Gianluigi Donnarumma To Leave PSG LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 29: Gianluigi. Donnarumma of Paris.

Arsenal FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Donnarumma has been leave out of PSG's squad for the European Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur. That is the biggest sign yet that the Parisians do not consider the 26-year-old a part of their plans. This in spite of Donnarumma's heroics in the Champions League knockouts this season. Inter Milan have long appeared to be suitors for Donnarumma if he sees out his contract in the French capital and leaves on a free transfer. However, if the Italian international leaves this summer, the Premier League would be a likelier destination.

Harris shines again as Spirit maintain 100 per cent run
For the third match in three Grace Harris has steered London Spirit to victory in the Hundred Women, maintaining the defending champions' 100 per cent start in the English white-ball franchise competition. In the tournament's opening match she scored an unbeaten 42-ball 89, in Spirit's second she bowled the death over, successfully defending six runs with two to spare, and now she has hit an unbeaten 32-ball 50 to guide Spirit to victory at Old Trafford. Chasing Manchester Originals' 7-122 Spirit won by three wickets with two of their 100 balls remaining, thanks to a late flurry of boundaries by the Queenslander. Talk about impact. #TheHundred — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 11, 2025 "I just thought it was a bit of a trickier wicket to start on, and then once you got in, you could try and cash in at the back end," said Harris. "When we got to about needing 26 runs, I thought 'we're pretty good'. We'd got wickets in hand; we could try and take the game on a little bit more. "I'm delighted with how I'm going. I think a lot of the principles that I've been working on within my game are paying off, and I just keep summing up conditions and whenever I'm injected into the game, I'm seeing what impact I can have." Put in to bat Originals were 2-10 off 12 balls, including Kathryn Bryce out to a brilliant leg-side catch by wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne, standing up to pacer Tara Norris. POV: You take the first wicket of the match 🤲#TheHundred — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 11, 2025 Georgia Redmayne, standing up, catches Kathryn Bryce legside off the glove. Skipper Beth Mooney (26 off 20) counter-attacked creating a platform for West Indies' Deandra Dottin (36 off 30) to lift the home side to a potentially defendable total. Kira Chathli got the reply off to a good start with 34 off 30 after Redmayne perished for 11, but Spirit slid to 5-97, needing 26 runs off 16 balls. Harris brought that down to nine from eight with a pair of sixes but Bryce took two wickets in two only for Sarah Glenn to edge, then drive boundaries to ensure Harris's half-century was not in vain. Harris is now the highest run-scorer in the competition with 157 followed by fellow Australians Meg Lanning (141) and Mooney (97). She also has the highest strike-rate (178.4) followed by another Aussie in Ash Gardner (175), and most sixes (9) followed by Lanning (6).
