The new Premier League season promises to be exciting for bettors, thanks to the introduction of new rules and numerous teams making significant transfers in the market. Below, we’re going to look at various outright tips for this season.
Who Will Win the 26/27 Premier League Season? Outright Tips
Arsenal ended their 22 year wait for a Premier League title when they clinched the title last season and it will take a brave man to bet against them retaining the title. Their closest rivals this season is likely to be Man. City but will The Citizens be able to cope with life after the mercurial Pep Guardiola.
Why do we believe that Arsenal will retain the title in 2026/27?
Arsenal head into the new Premier League season as strong favourites to defend their crown after finally ending their 22-year wait for the title. Their biggest advantage is that they now have players with the mental fortitude to get them over the line and of course the Gunners are the only “top 6” with a settled manager in Mikel Arteta. He has built a squad with depth and quality with the addition of Bruno Guimarães being the cherry on top.
The Gunners also benefit from continuity, with Arteta remaining in charge while several of their main rivals have changed managers. Arsenal’s defensive strength, set-piece threat and squad depth could prove crucial over a long campaign. The early predictions also support Arsenal’s chances.
Sky Sports’ supercomputer has them finishing top again, with an expected 85.2 points, while bookmakers currently make them favourites to win back-to-back titles. With a settled team, an experienced manager and further quality added to the squad, Arsenal look well placed to retain the Premier League title.
Which Team Will Win the English 26/27 Premier League Title? Outright Tips
The most obvious choice for champions in the upcoming season is Arsenal as they have the most settled leadership group and squad. They sometimes struggled against teams that employed a low block and relied too heavily on set pieces but the acquisition of Guimarães could be the game changer as the Brazilian is superb at picking out the right passes in attack.
Another major reason for us tipping the Gunners for the title is the lack of genuine title contenders. City look the best of the chasing pack but it remains to be seen how they perform under new boss Enzo Maresca. Liverpool and Man.United are in transition and cannot realistically challenge for the title as they both lack depth in crucial positions.

Which Teams Will Qualify for the Champions League? Outright Tips
21-time league champions Liverpool and Manchester United have been least active in the transfer window up to now among the top teams which is a surprise as they both lack squad depth. Despite this I still expect them to be in the Champions League qualification spots come end of the season. Here is out picks to make the top four this season
1.Arsenal: As we already mentioned they are our favorites to retain the title as they have the most settled team.
Arsenal to qualify for the UCL has an average odds of 1.12
2.Man. City: If Pep was still at the helm, we would have had no doubt that they would have been the favourites for the title especially with the signing of Elliot Anderson. The new manager will need time to settle so the best we predict for them is second position which will secure Champions League qualification.

3.Liverpool: The champions of the 2024/25 season had a previous campaign that they would like to forget very quickly. Their season started with much promise after securing the services of Isak and Wirtz. The Reds were the early season front runners albeit with plenty of luck but then the wheels literally fell off. They managed to qualify for the Champions League, thanks to Arsenal making the final, despite this, manager Arne Slott was shown the boot at the end of the season. We are tipping them to bet better in the upcoming season but third place is their best possible finish.

4.Man. United: The Red Devils surprised all and sundry with a remarkable turnaround from their previous season to finish in third spot. They will however have to contend with playing twice a week this season which could see them struggle due to lack of squad depth. The fourth position will be a straight battle between United and Chelsea who will be counting on Xavi Alonso to weave his magic.

Which Teams Will Be Relegated in the 2026/27 EPL Season? Outright Tips
Last season provided a major warning for promoted teams, with Sunderland and Leeds United both surviving while Burnley were relegated. This season however we are tipping the three promoted teams to be relegated. The bookies are in agreement with our predictions as they are have the three promoted teams at the shortest odds for relegation
- Hull City to be relegated – 1.25
- Coventry City to be relegated – 1.65
- Ipswich Town to be relegated – 1.65
Hull are the strongest relegation candidate in the market, while Coventry and Ipswich are also considered likely to struggle. Current odds have Hull as short as 1.25, with Coventry and Ipswich around 1.65
Which Manager Will Be the First to Be Sacked?
This is always very difficult to predict as it depends on the start that the teams have. Our favourite to be sacked first is none other than Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner. The Austrian has already proven his ability at the highest level, making his arrival an impressive move for a Forest side that spent much of last season battling near the relegation zone.
Nottingham Forest has developed a reputation for making frequent changes in the dugout under owner Evangelos Marinakis, and Glasner will be hoping to enjoy the stability needed to build something long-term. The loss of Elliot Anderson will make it very tough for Forest to improve therefore Glasner is our favourite to be sacked first especially if they have a bad start to the season.

Which Player Will Win the EPL 2026/2027 Golden Boot?
Erling Haaland starts the new Premier League season as the favourite for the Golden Boot after winning the award for the third time in 2025/26. The Manchester City front man scored 27 goals, finishing five ahead of Brentford’s Igor Thiago. Haaland also won the award in 2022/23 and 2023/24, reclaiming it after Mohamed Salah topped the scoring charts in 2024/25.
Thiago finished with 22 goals, while Ollie Watkins scored 16. Joao Pedro and Morgan Gibbs-White both managed 15, with Viktor Gyokeres ending the campaign on 14. Since the departure of Salah, the Norwegian is the clear cut favourite for the award.

Erling Haaland is our pick to win the Premier League Player of the Season award in 2026/27. The Manchester City striker remains one of the most dangerous goalscorers in world football and enters the new campaign after another impressive season and a brilliant World Cup
Haaland’s ability to consistently find the net makes him a strong contender, particularly if Manchester City challenge for the title. His closest rival could be Declan Rice especially if Arsenal retain the title.

Conclusion
The 2026/27 EPL season is expected to see plenty of goals as the officials have been told to clamp down on time wasting which means more ball in play minutes. The obvious favourite for the title is Arsenal but the beautiful game has taught us that it is not what looks good on paper that counts but rather how the teams gel together on the park.
