When Jürgen Klopp left Liverpool in an emotional farewell to the supporters at Anfield, many were left with the question: “Who can lead Liverpool after the gigantic success of Master Klopp?”. Arne Slot answered this question a year later by lifting the Premier League trophy in his debut season. Now we are heading towards a new season, where Liverpool are the favourites to retain the title and win the Premier League 2025/26 again in May 2026. Arsenal and Manchester City are expected to provide stiff competition, while Chelsea and Newcastle are considered outsiders, ready to create surprises.
Liverpool have strengthened their squad this summer with an impressive roster of stars. After winning in the 2024/2025 season, the club has spent a lot of money on player sales, and the signals from Anfield are that there is more to come. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz chose exit, but Arne Slot has filled in with Frimpong, Kerkez, Wirtz and Ekitike.

So what about Arsenal? The 2023/24 season separated the Gunners two points from the title, last season increasing the gap to a whopping ten points. Mikel Arteta has secured players who will give Arsenal the much-awaited Premier League title. The last player in the gate at the Emirates was Europe’s toughest striker, Viktor Gyökeres. Before that, captain Martin Ødegaard has welcomed Zubimendi, Kepa, Nørgaard, Mosquera and Madueke as new Arsenal players.
But Liverpool and Arsenal will not have an easy road to the top. Pep Guardiola has put behind him a surprisingly weak season without titles, but has retained key players and brought in some strong signings. Chelsea enter the Premier League season as the “best club in the world” after the impressive 3-0 win against PSG in the Club World Cup final. With Enzo Maresca as coach, the London club is finally back as a real title contender in the Premier League.
Last season, Newcastle once again secured a ticket to the Champions League. With the FA Cup trophy in the trophy cabinet at St. James’ Park, Eddie Howe and Newcastle also enter the season with the aim of giving Liverpool and Arsenal a fight for the Premier League title. Here is the big element of uncertainty Alexander Isak. If Newcastle loses the Premier League’s second-highest scoring player last season, the possibility of going all the way to the top of the world’s toughest league is reduced.
In London, Thomas Frank creates optimism among Tottenham supporters. The former Brentford manager has shown he has cracked the codes in the Premier League, now the Dane has world-class players at his disposal as Spurs coach. With 17th place last season under Ange Postecoglou, there are still few who believe Frank will lead Tottenham all the way to the top in his debut season.
And Manchester United? Ruben Amorim has been given peace of mind this summer to work on getting his game to fall into place after the historically weak 15th place in the Premier League. With Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in the United squad, who last season hammered in goals in the Premier League, the Red Devils should be stronger. Even the most optimistic Man Utd supporter is unlikely to expect to win the Premier League 2025/26 season, but bigger football miracles have happened in the Premier League in the past, so Manchester United can’t be completely written off.
