The Premier League title race is always a global spectacle, and for good reason—only England’s top teams have a shot at claiming the prestigious trophy. In 2024, Manchester City made history by securing their fourth consecutive title, narrowly edging out Arsenal, while Liverpool fell short following Jurgen Klopp’s farewell announcement.
Now in the latter half of the 2024/25 season, those three clubs remain near the top of the table. However, with City struggling, the title battle seems to be a two-horse race between Liverpool and Arsenal.
As the fight for the championship remains as thrilling as ever, we’ve highlighted the key fixtures and ranked each team’s remaining schedule based on difficulty.
Transitioning into a new era is never easy, whether in football or life. There’s a mix of anticipation, nerves, and uncertainty. Under Arne Slot, Liverpool have remained formidable, with key players like Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah continuing to shine. Apart from a surprising defeat to Nottingham Forest, the Reds have been dominant this season. With a relatively easier run-in compared to City and Arsenal—and a seven-point lead at the top—they are in a strong position to reclaim the title.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s long wait for a major trophy continues. Since their last Premier League triumph in 2004, they have lifted multiple FA Cups but have yet to win another league title or a European trophy. Their move to the Emirates was meant to be a stepping stone toward greater success, and though it took longer than expected, they are now considered one of Europe’s elite. Despite narrowly missing out to City in 2024, their ability to compete at that level offers hope.
Arsenal’s season could be decided in its final weeks, with crucial matches against Liverpool and Newcastle before finishing away at Southampton. These fixtures will be critical as they push for their first league title in two decades.
As for Manchester City, their dominance appears to be fading. After securing a historic fourth straight title in 2024, they have struggled this season and now sit 16 points behind league leaders Liverpool with just 13 games remaining. A heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal further added to their woes. Statistically, City have the easiest remaining fixtures among the title contenders, but given their current form, a fifth consecutive championship seems unlikely.
