As excitement builds ahead of the 2025/2026 Premier League season, former England and Liverpool striker Michael Owen has shared his bold predictions — and he's backing Liverpool to go all the way once again.

According to Owen, the Reds are clear favourites to retain their Premier League crown under manager Arne Slot, after winning the title in his debut season. He’s given them a 70% chance of clinching back-to-back titles, ahead of big names like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City.

“I think Liverpool are far and away the team with the best chance of winning it,” Owen said in an interview with Metro via AskGamblers.
“I really fancy them. I think they’ve got like a 70% chance of winning it.”

Owen’s Predicted Top Four for 2025/26:

Liverpool

Arsenal

Chelsea

Manchester City

Last season, Liverpool edged out Arsenal, who finished second for the third straight year. Manchester City, who have dominated the league in recent times, came in third, while Chelsea claimed fourth place after a crucial 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on the final day.

With transfers, tactics, and fresh managerial strategies coming into play, Owen's predictions add to the growing buzz surrounding what promises to be another thrilling Premier League season. Fans now eagerly await to see if his forecast proves accurate — or if the unpredictable nature of the league throws up a few surprises.
