Tottenham Tipped To Beat Arsenal, Man City And Chelsea To Premier League Title

Tottenham Tipped to Beat Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea to Premier League Title Tottenham Hotspur have been tipped to mount a surprise challenge for the 2026/27 Premier League title, with the north London club being backed to finish ahead of Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea. The prediction comes ahead of the new Premier League campaign, which begins this weekend, with Arsenal entering the season as defending champions after winning the 2025/26 title. Tottenham’s prospects have attracted attention following a summer of significant changes and investment at the club. The appointment of Roberto De Zerbi has also raised expectations that Spurs could improve considerably after their disappointing previous campaign. While Arsenal remain the bookmakers’ clear favourites to retain the title, Tottenham’s potential to challenge the established contenders has become one of the talking points ahead of the new season. Current outright odds put Arsenal well ahead of Tottenham, with Manchester City and Chelsea also rated more likely to win the championship. Arsenal are priced at 5/4 to win the league, followed by Manchester City at 7/2 and Chelsea at 8/1, while Tottenham are much further back at 20/1. Those figures underline how bold the prediction of a Spurs title triumph would be. However, Tottenham could benefit from a strong summer recruitment drive and a fresh tactical approach under De Zerbi. The club will be hoping those changes can transform them into genuine contenders rather than merely competing for European qualification. Former England striker Michael Owen, meanwhile, has identified Tottenham as one of the teams capable of making significant progress this season, although his own predicted top six places Spurs sixth rather than first. The title race is expected to be closely contested, with Arsenal looking to defend their crown, Manchester City beginning a new era under manager Enzo Maresca and Chelsea hoping their heavy investment finally produces a sustained challenge. Tottenham will begin their league campaign away to Brentford, while Arsenal host newly promoted Coventry City. Manchester City face Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium and Chelsea travel to Fulham. If Tottenham can make a fast start and maintain consistency throughout the campaign, they could emerge as one of the season’s biggest surprises.
