Twelve matches remain in the 2026 Premier League campaign, and we’ve got a two-horse race for the title.
After finishing second each of the past three seasons, Arsenal currently top the EPL table with 57 points, four more than second-place Manchester City.
Aston Villa’s title challenge has fallen by the wayside in recent weeks, leaving Pep Guardiola and his protege Mikel Arteta to battle for the top spot down the stretch.
Let’s dig into the latest odds and make our Premier League winner predictions for 2026.

Who Will Win the Premier League?
Arsenal (-270)
Arsenal are on course to win their first Premier League title since 2004, but the Gunners will have to hold their nerve in the business end of the campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s squad hasn’t necessarily done that in previous title challenges, and its recent wobble at Brentford has recalled some of the scars of the past.
Still, Arsenal sit four points clear of the chasing pack, thanks in large part to the league’s best defense (18 goals allowed).
The Gunners still have to go to the Etihad to face Manchester City, as well as potentially tricky fixtures against Tottenham (away), Chelsea (home), and Newcastle (home).
I expect the squad’s improved depth and experience from previous title challenges to be enough to see the Gunners over the line, so I’m backing Arsenal to win the Premier League as my soccer bet of the day.
Premier League Title Contender
Manchester City (+225)
Pep Guardiola’s side has closed the gap in recent weeks by successfully navigating a tough trip to Liverpool and taking care of business at home against Fulham.
However, this City squad isn’t as consistent as the title-winning teams of years’ past.
While the midseason additions of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi have added quality and depth in much-needed areas, it would be surprising to see City rattle off 12 consecutive wins as they might have two years ago.
This group has already lost two more league games than the 2023-24 title-winning squad, and that’s with 12 games left to play.
City could benefit from hosting Arsenal in April, but that match won’t matter if they drop points elsewhere during the run-in.
