The 2025/26 Premier League title race is heating up at the start of 2026 with Arsenal six points clear and well placed to end their 22 year drought.
Liverpool's stunning title success in Arne Slot's debut campaign ended Manchester City' s four-year dominance, but there was little to no title race to speak of, with Pep Guardiola's men collapsing in the winter and the Gunners a distant second for almost the entire campaign.
This time around, Mike Arteta's sit clear of both Manchester City and Aston Villa just past the halfway point of the season.

Who will win Premier League 2025/26? Latest odds and betting
Last season's top four were the clear favourites for this season's title at the start, but things have changed since.
Liverpool broke the British transfer record twice to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, and they started the season with five wins from five, even if four of of them came via late winners. Their luck soon ran out and with Mohamed Salah at war with the club, things could soon get worse for Arne Slot, albeit things have calmed down since he went to AFCON.
Arsenal have taken up the baton and currently lead the table by two points. Their rock-solid defence has been breached of late but they look the clear best team in the league right now.
Man City have been a near-one man team at times this season with Erling Haaland in flying form but Phil Foden has rediscovered himself of late and Pep Guardiola's men almost always look better in the second half of the season. Rayan Cherki is also beginning to fulfil on his immense potential.
Chelsea looked like possible contenders but a poor run of form following a spirited draw with Arsenal while down to 10 has likely put paid to any hopes of a first title since 2017. They are also without a permanent manager as things stand as are Manchester United.
With just a single victory in their last seven Premier League outings, the pressure had already been mounting, but the real tipping point came behind the scenes. The relationship between Enzo Maresca and the Chelsea hierarchy deteriorated sharply in recent weeks, and that growing rift ultimately cost him his job.
Instead, Aston Villa are in the mix having remarkably won 11 of their last 12 games having failed to win any of their first five. Unai Emery's side are full of confidence and with a home record to rival anyone in Europe in recent years, they could be a dark horse for a serious push.
