Liverpool has officially become the Premier League champions after securing their second title, having previously held only a 5.1% chance at the season’s outset. Their triumph raises the stakes for next season’s title race, where several teams will be vying for top honors. The upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for shaping the contenders.

1. Manchester City: Despite being out of the title race early, City’s resources and talent make them the team to watch next season.

2. Arsenal: Under Mikel Arteta, they are set for another season, needing to strengthen their lineup to truly contend for the title.

3. Liverpool: With veteran players, they’ll need to rejuvenate the squad to repeat their success.

4. Newcastle United: Rising as a strong competitor, their form has improved significantly this season.

5. Chelsea: With a new focus on youth under manager Enzo Maresca, their title contention remains uncertain, lacking recent performance consistency.

Honorable Mention: Aston Villa: They have shown promise but need significant investment to challenge the top teams.
