Where is the money going in the Premier League's Outright Winner market? Manchester United receive 32.9 percent of stakes placed in the past fortnight
Sky Bet have collated data since the market opened and it makes for some very compelling reading.
Fresh off their 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final - Chelsea have had the most interest in the betting lines - with Enzo Maresca's side receiving 26.6 percent of total stakes placed.
With the above in mind - for those who think the Blues can challenge for the title in 2025-26 - they are currently priced at 7/1 with Sky Bet. That is good for fourth-favourite.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have had the second greatest interest according to Sky Bet - with 24.6 percent of stakes placed on the Red Devils since the market opened.
United have had a particular uptick in interest of late - with them receiving 32.9 percent in the last fortnight.
That's in large part thanks to the big moves they made in the transfer window - with big-name acquisitions in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.
Manchester United are 16/1 fifth-favourites to win their 14th title of the Premier League era.
Liverpool and Arsenal are next - with the pair receiving 19.6 and 11.1 percent respectively.
The Reds are the best-backed at 13/8 to win consecutive titles, while Arsenal are second at 9/4 to claim their first league title in more than two decades.
Chelsea 26.4%
Man Utd 24.6% (32.9% in the last fortnight)
Liverpool 19.6%
Arsenal 11.1%
Man City 5%
Newcastle 3.5%
Tottenham 2.3%

PA Sport understands police officers went into the referee's room at half-time, while an anti-discrimination message was read out to the Anfield crowd.

'This is in line with the Premier League's on-field anti-discrimination protocol. 'The incident at Anfield will now be fully investigated. We offer our full support to the player and both clubs. 'Racism has no place in our game, or anywhere in society. We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.' Merseyside Police said a 47-year-old man was removed from the ground and an investigation was under way after his identity was confirmed. Chief Inspector Kev Chatterton, the match commander for the game, said: 'Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crime of any form. 'We take incidents like this very seriously, and in cases like this we will be proactively seeking football banning orders, with the club, against those responsible.' Sky Sports co-commentator Gary Neville said: 'It overshadows what should be an amazing night. First game of the Premier League season, a beautiful day, 62,000 fans in the stadium and that boy (Semenyo) basically has been racially abused and has had to go over to a referee to complain about it. 'I can't even begin to think what would be going through someone's mind, however it's happened and it'll keep on happening and it's a sorry state.' Fellow co-commentator Jamie Carragher added: 'A shocking incident rightly reported to the referee.' The incident comes two days after Tottenham's Mathys Tel received racist abuse online after missing a penalty in his side's UEFA Super Cup win against Paris St Germain. The Football Association said it was 'concerned' about the allegation of racism towards Semenyo and that it would ensure 'appropriate action' would be taken. — FA Spokesperson (@FAspokesperson) August 15, 2025 A statement from the FA read: 'We are very concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd, which was reported to the match officials during the Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Bournemouth. 'Incidents of this nature have no place in our game and we will work closely with the match officials, the clubs and the relevant authorities to establish the facts and ensure the appropriate action is taken.' After the incident, Semenyo scored twice in the second half to help bring Bournemouth back from two goals down at Anfield before Liverpool went on to eventually win the contest 4-2. Cherries' Adam Smith told Sky Sports News afterwards: 'It shouldn't be happening. I don't know how Ant's played on to be honest and come up with those goals. It's totally unacceptable. 'Something needs to be done. Taking the knee isn't having an effect. We're supporting him and hopefully he'll be OK. 'I wanted him to react because that's what I would have done, but this shows what type of man he is…to come up with those goals showed the type of guy he is. 'To be fair the Liverpool players were very supportive as well towards Antoine and the rest of the team. It was handled in the right way but…so angry. 'I don't know what else we can do. No one's getting it. I don't know what to say anymore. I just feel for Ant…shocking.' Liverpool issued a statement which read: 'Liverpool Football Club is aware of an allegation of racist abuse made during our Premier League game against AFC Bournemouth. 'We condemn racism and discrimination in all forms, it has no place in society or football. 'The club is unable to comment further as tonight's alleged incident is the subject of an ongoing police investigation, which we will support fully.'
