Arsenal Named New Favourites for Premier League Title After Man City Slip-Up

Arsenal have emerged as the new favourites to lift the 2024/2025 Premier League title, according to Betfair.

This shift in odds comes after Manchester City dropped points in their match against Newcastle United, marking their first game without the injured Rodri. Despite taking an early lead through Josko Gvardiol, City were pegged back when Anthony Gordon netted a second-half penalty to secure a 1-1 draw for the Magpies.

Meanwhile, Arsenal capitalized on City’s stumble with a commanding 4-2 victory over Leicester City. The Gunners are now locked in at 11/8 odds to win their first league title in 21 years.

Betfair posted on their website: “Arsenal are the new, and clear, favourites to win the Premier League title after a dramatic victory at home to Leicester, just hours after Manchester City dropped points at Newcastle.”

Both Arsenal and Manchester City are currently tied at the top of the table with 14 points, but Betfair believes City’s loss of Rodri could significantly impact their title defense, boosting Arsenal’s chances.
