Premier League History & Winning Teams
The Premier League was founded in 1992 after the top clubs broke away from the English Football League. Since then, it has gone on to become one of the world’s most-watched sports competitions, broadcast to a potential TV audience of more than 4 billion people. This success has seen the EPL become the richest soccer league in the world, helping it attract some of the biggest stars in world soccer.
The competition runs alongside the English FA Cup and EFL Cup, while teams in lower leagues such as the Championship, League One and League Two fight to gain promotion to the Premier League. Teams that finish in the top 4 places of the Premier League qualify for next season’s Champions League, while the 5th and 6th places can reach the Europa League and Conference League.

Premier League Picks & Predictions for 2025/26 Season
This Premier League season is shaping up to be another thrilling contest between some of the best clubs in the world. The odds are currently predicting a three-horse race between Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, but teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur could all influence the title race.
Meanwhile, the battle for the European qualification spots could also go down to the wire as it did last season. Will the traditional big 6 secure their spots in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, or will we see a challenge from teams like Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth?
This season, the newly promoted sides are Leeds United, Burnley, and Sunderland, whose fans will be hoping they can do better than the previous sides that came up from the Championship. It’s now been 2 seasons in a row that all 3 promoted sides went straight back down.
Who Will Win the EPL? Picks to Win
Liverpool - Liverpool lifted their 2nd ever Premier League title last season and are the current favorites to retain their crown. If Salah can continue his electric form and new signings Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Hugo Ekitike hit the ground running, they’ll be very difficult to stop. Arne Slot has looked like an excellent manager, and the Liverpool backroom staff are highly organised.
Arsenal - Arsenal once more came up short last season, making it 3 seasons in a row as runners-up. They’ve made some key signings this summer, bringing in highly rated striker Viktor Gyokeres as well as midfielder Martin Zubimendi and winger Noni Madueke, among others, to bolster their squad and push for their first EPL title since 2003/04. They’re currently second-favorites, and they certainly look stronger than last season.
Manchester City - Manchester City had a poor season by their standards, ending a run of 4 Premier League titles in a row as they finished 3rd. Their season was hampered by the loss of Rodri to injury, but he’s now returned, and they’ve made several key signings in attack and defense to support their existing talent. Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush will be their key threats, but rival fans will be hoping they fail to reach their best.
Chelsea - Last season, Chelsea looked like a whole new team, finishing 4th in the league and adding multiple new signings. This summer, they lifted the FIFA Club World Cup, beating the strongest PSG side we’ve seen. They could mount a serious title challenge, especially with the addition of Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens in attack. They’re currently outsiders, ranked 4th according to the latest odds.

Last season, an average of 2.93 goals were scored per game, while home teams won 41% of the time.
Bet against the popular teams - Some teams have big fan bases but are currently going through difficult times. A good example is Manchester United. The odds often still favor them in a lot of games simply because they have a strong history in the competition. However, their poor form means there’s value in betting against them. You can also keep an eye on team news in case key players are out injured.
