Premier League 2025/26 outright odds as clubs discover fixture lists
Liverpool will find out who will be first in line during their title defence along with every other Premier League club including two the bookies feel will form the title race next season
The Premier League fixtures are out and one thing that will be up for discussion will be the title race. With all 20 clubs looking at when they will face their fellow competitors, many will be discussing the annual tradition of who will be lifting the Premier League trophy come the end of the season.
This season sees Liverpool go into the season as champions and looking to secure back-to-back titles for the first time since the 1983/84 season where they secured their third consecutive league trophy.
Under Klopp, they secured their first league title in 29 years in a COVID-disrupted season but their defence the following season was far from the bar they set themselves the year before. In March of that season they sat 8th with 43 points, seizing any hope of retaining the title before winning eight of their final 10 league matches to secure Champions League football again by finishing 3rd.
However, even they will know they will have a tough task on their hands with who will be able competing in the title race. The Reds are the favourites at 15/8 but the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City are priced to be competing for the title too.
The Gunners, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, seem forever stuck as runners-up based on the last few season's performances with pivotal moments in the season going against them. The Spaniard boss is a perfectionist though and will be looking to constantly improve his side as he looks to add to his FA Cup winners medal he got in his first season.
Over in Manchester and Pep Guardiola will be looking for significant improvements from his City side. The Citizens finished 3rd last season making just the second in eight season where they finished outside the top spot but his new look side will be looking to make an impact his season and frustrate the Reds' title defence.
Newcomers in Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders are exactly the sort of talent Guardiola lacked last season as they suffered with injuries - most notably Balon d'Or winner Rodri.
On the other hand, it will be interesting how City will do this season as they have the added headache of the Club World Cup to contend with this summer.

Kylian Mbappe leaves hospital after missing Real Madrid's first Club World Cup match with acute gastroenteritis
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has left hospital after missing his side's first game at the newly-expanded Club World Cup after suffering from gastroenteritis. Mbappe, 26, was a surprise omission from the first starting line-up to be named by new manager Xabi Alonso against Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal on Wednesday. The Frenchman was sorely missed by his team-mates as they drew 1-1 after Federico Valverde missed a golden chance to win the encounter in stoppage time when his penalty was saved. Following the match, Madrid released a statement on Thursday in which they clarified why Mbappe was absent. The club said that he had been taken to hospital on the day of their match against Al-Hilal to undergo tests, adding that he had made a return to the team's camp. On Friday, Real also confirmed that Mbappe was in the team hotel and undertaking aerobic work as he recovered from illness. Manager Xabi Alonso is unsure if he will be fit enough to feature in his side's next game When prompted to give an update on Mbappe's health on Tuesday, Alonso said: 'Kylian was feeling a bit better in the morning, but not good enough because it's too hot. 'We're going to wait for him until the last moment, we'll decide tomorrow.' After the draw against Al-Hilal, the Spaniard added: 'I don't know if Mbappe will be back for the next game. 'We'll see. He wasn't doing well in the last two days. He's sick.' In Mbappe's place, Alonso opted to start 21-year-old striker Gonzalo Garcia who scored 25 goals in 36 matches for Real Madrid Castilla last season. He notched the opener against Al-Hilal on Wednesday before former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves ensured the spoils were shared.

‘It can be a really lonely journey': Myles Lewis-Skelly's mum Marcia on being a star's parent and agent
If Marcia Lewis has learned anything in the past seven years, it is to keep pushing. 'They probably thought by now I'd have disappeared,' the mother of the Arsenal and England left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly says with a laugh. 'But I'm not that kind of girl. If I want to do something, I'm going to do it.' In March Lewis-Skelly, at the age of 18, became the youngest player to score on his England debut, and life has changed considerably for Lewis since she received a call from an agent who wanted to represent her son when he was 11. Lewis-Skelly had recently excelled at a youth tournament in Japan, along with Ethan Nwaneri, another Hale End academy product who has progressed into the first team under Mikel Arteta, and suddenly found himself in demand. 'That's when you start to know about the industry so that you can say: 'Hang on, we're not there yet. Let me find out more …,' Lewis says. 'Because there is no race. There is no rush. My mum always used to say to me: 'If something feels urgent, that is a sign to slow down.'' Lewis, who had experience of working for an investment bank in the City, took matters into her own hands. She qualified as a Fifa-registered agent and completed a master's degree in football business, focusing her thesis on the parent experience in elite football academies – an area in which she was quickly gaining first-hand experience. 'It can be a really lonely journey,' she says. That proved to be the inspiration for setting up, in 2022, which has been providing support and education for parents of children in the academy systems and is due to become part of the Premier League's life skills programme next season. 'We're only one of two organisations that do things specifically for parents,' she says proudly. 'Everyone else is providing workshops for the players. But no one's actually focusing on the parent support that helps the kids. So that's a big win for us, that they finally realised that we're here to help, and we're not here to bash the industry but we are here to help them help parents with the realities of the journey, which inevitably will help them and their staff. It's just taken them a while to realise that.' Lewis has also approached the Professional Footballers' Association and wants to work with the Football Association on changing regulations that can restrict academy players from joining other clubs if they move home, with some effectively shut out if their former side demand compensation. 'These are things which some parents have to seek legal advice for,' she says. 'It's tricky, but as grassroots parents that's the last thing you're even thinking about. It's important that we help parents understand the journey. Signing the paper is the easy bit, but it's what comes next: the expectation, the juggling of education, the messaging to our kids. The amount of people that say to me: 'I bet you can retire because Myles is this.' Or: 'I bet you can buy a house.' And I'm like, that's the language that's not helpful.' Lewis admits her son's meteoric rise over the past season has been a steep learning curve but says a strong support network has helped to keep his feet very much on the ground. 'Having to deal with going out in public, all of that is new,' she says. 'I'm still learning. I think for us, the most important thing is having the right team around you, not putting him on a pedestal at home. 'No, you've still got your chores to do. You still need to empty the dishwasher, tidy your room.' He still lives at home and I like it, because obviously I enjoy his company a lot. But also, he's a child – 18 does not make you an adult. It might do by the law. But he's not ready to go out and live on his own.' That were rumours of interest from Real Madrid this summer with Lewis-Skelly due to enter the final 12 months of his first professional contract, signed in October 2023, but he is poised to extend his deal and become one of the world's best-paid teenagers. Lewis expresses admiration for Trent Alexander-Arnold's level of Spanish at his Madrid unveiling and says her son 'loves' studying the language for his AS Level, but suggestions Lewis-Skelly might have left the club he joined at the age of eight are given short shrift. 'Rumours are rumours, aren't they?' Lewis says. 'I mean, everyone would always have something to say, you know; that's fine. We don't engage in all of that. Myles is enjoying his football. I would want him to enjoy his football wherever he goes, at whatever stage. And, you know, that's the most important thing.' Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Lewis acknowledges she is learning on the job when it comes to being an agent. 'It's not an easy thing to do and you have to have the right support. I am not walking this path alone. We have the right people to support Team Myles. And I think that's the one thing that we would love to encourage parents to find out more. 'We have a workshop called 'Finding the right agent'. And it isn't about, OK, go here. No, it's about, do you know the role? The part that they'll play? What questions should you ask? You know, even around the approach, around having a meeting, how do you show up to feel on an equal playing field with someone who wants to sell you a service? What are the signs? What are the red flags? Equally, parents, how do you need to adjust your behaviour? You know, it's not about paying off your house.' The self-belief Lewis-Skelly showed in performing Erling Haaland's Zen celebration after scoring in Arsenal's 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City in February at the Emirates comes not only from his mother but also from Marcia's mum. 'She is a very confident woman – don't take no shit!' Lewis says. She is happy to take credit for her son's physical prowess, which has impressed Arteta, Thomas Tuchel and so many pundits. 'I'd like to say so!' she responds when asked whether her cooking is responsible. 'Even as a young child he always ate well. As a kid, he always loved pasta. But it's not like Myles has been on this nutritional health fix since he was 10. No, he's been a child. Let him eat what he needs to eat.' will host its first parent conference, Changing the Game for Football Families, on 5 July at Stormzy's Mercy HQ in south London. It will feature workshops from experts in areas such as career planning for young footballers and digital health, and talks from speakers including Les Smith, the father of Fulham's Emile Smith Rowe. For Lewis, it is another opportunity to help break down some of the barriers in the sport. 'I've witnessed some of the misogyny in football and how, from an agent perspective, I've been approached before, quite disrespectfully, quite frankly. Almost preyed upon … So I think that's the other thing about having someone like myself, who is a Black woman, reaching parents, who finally feel that there is someone who either looks like them or is the same sex as them that is challenging the status quo. When I see the diversity of our workshop groups, it's amazing.'
