As we approach the final 10 games of the 2023-24 Premier League season, the title race is heating up and shaping to be the tightest in recent years. Sports betting sites continue to offer odds on the winner, with Arsenal currently leading the table with 64 points on goal difference after a 2-1 win at home to Brentford on Saturday. Liverpool are level on points with The Gunners and drew with defending champions Manchester City (63) on Sunday, giving Arsenal a slight advantage.
Interestingly, the one-point gap between leaders Arsenal and third-placed Manchester City is the narrowest it has been between first and third at this stage of the season (or later) since May 4 in the 2013-14 season. That season saw Manchester City edge out Liverpool in a title race forever marked by Steven Gerrard’s slip against Chelsea.
The top three contenders are still in Europe, so fixture congestion is a factor. However, Arsenal could have a slight advantage as they are out of the FA Cup.
With the stakes sky-high and the margins razor-thin, the 2023-24 Premier League title race will likely go down to the wire. Let’s delve into the latest betting odds to see which team the best sports betting sites favour to come out on top at the end of the season.

Who will win the 2023-24 Premier League title?
Manchester City
Manchester City started the season as favourites to defend their crown. Despite the draw at Anfield, which put them third on the table, they are still considered the top favourites with odds of 2.24 on Betking to win an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Pep Guardiola’s team has been in good form, having won 10 and drawn three of their last 13 Premier League matches. Although their involvement in the Champions League and the FA Cup could impact their chances, they have a strong squad with key players, such as Erling Haaland and Kevin DeBruyne, returning from injury just in time for the run-in.
City have been the Premier League’s dominant force over the last decade. With Guardiola at the helm, they have one of the best managers in the world who understands what it takes to win the title, having done so three times on the bounce.
Moreover, their remaining fixtures appear to be favourable. However, their inability to record a win this season against the other two contenders is worth noting. With Arsenal set to visit the Etihad on March 31 for what could be a title decider, City will have the opportunity to make a statement that could see them become the 2023-24 Premier League winner.

Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp’s decision to step down at the end of the season sent shockwaves not just in Merseyside but around the league and worldwide. However, this could ultimately galvanise and inspire his players to end the German’s remarkable era on a high note.
Betking has the Reds at 3.20 odds to win their second Premier League title. They will clinch the title if they win all their remaining games and Arsenal slip up once. They have the most favourable fixture of the three contenders, with a trip to Old Trafford to face bitter rivals Manchester United next month, their most difficult fixture.
Liverpool also remain on the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple, having already won the Carabao Cup. But do they have the squad for it?
Klopp has worked a mini miracle, keeping his side in contention on all fronts despite dealing with debilitating injury crises. Several key players have regained fitness, with talisman Mo Salah and striker Darwin Nunez back in the lineup. However, defender Ibrahima Konate recently joined a lengthy injury list that includes long-term absentees Diogo Jota, Thiago, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Ryan Gravenberch.
The Reds will desperately be hoping to give Klopp a perfect send-forth with a ‘proper title’ to add to their 2020 triumph, one they lifted with no fans in the stadium. However, their horrendous injury list could prove their biggest undoing in the title race, especially if they progress in the FA Cup and Europa League.

Arsenal
Last season, Mikel Arteta’s team came close to winning the title but stumbled in the end against City. However, they have since added depth, and the experience gained by Arteta and his young players has clearly shone through this season.
Despite some doubts about last season being a fluke, Arsenal’s current form shows they are a serious contender for the 2023-24 Premier League title. However, bookmakers’ odds of 3.50 odds suggest they are least likely among the top three to be crowned champions and that the wait for a first title since the Invincibles season of 2003-04 may continue for another season.
The Gunners are currently at the top of the table, but the question remains: can they hold on to that position until the end of the season? They face a challenging schedule, with games against City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Chelsea still to come.
Nonetheless, Arteta’s men have proven their mettle against the league’s top teams this campaign. They have lost only four league games this season, against West Ham, Fulham, Newcastle, and Villa. Additionally, they have fewer games left and greater recovery time than their rivals, who are still in the FA Cup and the Europa League.
Arsenal have won eight games in a row, including impressive away wins against West Ham (6-0), Burnley (5-0), and Sheffield United (6-0), and a 4-1 victory over Newcastle. They boast the league’s toughest defence (24 goals conceded) and the most potent attack (70 goals scored).
Moreover, Arteta now has a healthy squad with Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Jurrien Timber all back from injury, giving him more options to choose from.
The only thing that can hinder Arsenal’s title bid is themselves, especially if they allow last season’s collapse to haunt them. They can’t afford to make mistakes, but if they win all their games, they will win the title. It’s that simple.
