The English Premier League stands apart as the most popular behemouth of soccer. No other league can match the financial power and global reputation of the EPL. Gamblers and fans love the Premier League for its tradition, endless storylines, and quality. The EPL is hardly comprised of just English players; instead, the best players from every corner of the globe play in it.
As soccer continues to gain popularity on TV, streaming devices, and sportsbooks, the English Premier League is a leading factor in its popularity. The EPL is the most popular of all major professional leagues in the world. Thanks to a worldwide following of passionate fans, the EPL pays decadent salaries to players and managers. The Premier League has a full TV contract in the United States. Once, it was unfathomable that the English Premier League would become a mainstream American sport, yet it has.

Promotion and Relegation
Twenty teams are competing in the English Premier League. Seventeen of the teams are carryovers from last season. Three teams were promoted from a second-tier league known as The Championship. Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton were promoted from The Championship to the EPL for the 2024-25 season.
One of the factors that attracts fans all over the globe to the Premier League is relegation. The worst teams from each season are demoted to The Championship. In 2024-25, the demoted clubs are Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United.
Manchester City – The Dynasty
It is hard for veteran English Premier League fans to comprehend what Manchester City has become. Not that long ago, Man City was a second-class citizen in its hometown. The Blues were an afterthought to the famed Manchester United, which was the dominant EPL team from 1993 through 2013. Sir Alex Ferguson made history as the greatest EPL manager ever by winning 13 championships in that span.
After winning the 1968 championship, Manchester City was in the wilderness until 2012, when they broke through for the EPL title. That turnaround season marked the first of eight championships, including the past four seasons.
In 2022-23, Manchester City achieved soccer immortality by winning the treble. The Blues took the EPL, UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup. Man City was the first EPL team to win the treble since Man United turned the trick in 1998-99.
Manager Pep Guardiola is most responsible for the transformation of the Manchester City franchise. Following in the footsteps of Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini, who each won an EPL title for Man City, Guardiola solidified the dynasty.
Pep Guardiola has won six Premier League titles after winning three championships in the German Bundesliga and three La Liga titles in Spain. Guardiola is in the conversation for being the greatest manager ever.
However, midway through the current season, Manchester City’s reign was in serious doubt.
2024-25 Top Contenders
Liverpool's most complete victory of the season came in Gameweek 13, after they faced some drama in the previous match against lowly Southampton.
They destroyed Manchester City, with the final 2-0 score really not representing just how lopsided it was. Liverpool have played a noticeably different, more methodical style of football under new manager Arne Slot, which has resulted in seven clean sheets through 16 games.
You could argue that Chelsea should be included in this section, but some gamblers are less inclined to do so due to their relative lack of experience in the Premier League title race.
Gamblers believe that Chelsea is still a year away from truly finding another gear, and if anyone is going to stop Liverpool's runaway train, the most likely candidate is Arsenal.
The Gunners have failed to capitalize on back-to-back strong seasons, finishing as the first runners-up behind City. However, Arsenal looks to be in its best spot yet to win it all. It's loaded with world-class talent, and Man City is crumbling before our eyes.
However, the one caveat to this bet is the recent injury to Bukayo Saka. His teammates will have to pick up the slack left in his absence, but Gabriel Jesus has recently returned to the starting lineup and is scoring for fun, and we trust Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard to provide quality on the wings.
