Top 4 Predictions

Who Will Finish in the Premier League Top Four 2024/25?

Manchester City (-225) at bet365

Title favorites at the beginning of the campaign, Manchester City have had to lower expectations after a nightmarish run of form in recent weeks. A 2-1 loss to Manchester United on Sunday was just the latest in a long line of poor results.

Pep Guardiola needs to arrest his team’s decline soon. For now City remain favorites to finish in the top four, but that will not be the case if they continue to lose games. The champions need to find some solutions quickly.

Tottenham Hotspur (+600) at bet365

Tottenham Hotspur only just missed out on a top-four finish last time out and they are now aiming to go one better under Ange Postecoglou. There have been a few highs this term, not least a 4-0 thumping of Manchester City last month, but Spurs blow hot and cold.

Postecoglou’s refusal to introduce an element of pragmatism to his tactics has cost Tottenham on occasion. At their best, though, Spurs play free-flowing, offensive soccer, as we saw in a 5-0 victory over Southampton on Sunday.

Manchester United (+650) at bet365

Manchester United fans have not had much to cheer about this season, but they were delighted after a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the derby on Sunday. However, Ruben Amorim’s charges remain outsiders in the battle for the top four.

United are still in the bottom half of the table after 16 rounds of fixtures. In points terms, though, they are only six points adrift of the final Champions League qualification spot. Do not write the Red Devils off yet.

Newcastle United (+900) at bet365

Newcastle United have had their fair share of ups and downs so far this season, but their supporters will hope that Saturday’s 4-0 defeat of Leicester City proves to be a turning point for Eddie Howe’s charges.

Newcastle are way down in 12th place at present, but they are only five points adrift of Nottingham Forest in fourth. The Magpies’ squad is not short of talent, but a lack of depth could be their undoing.

Aston Villa (+1000) at bet365

Aston Villa finished fourth last season to qualify for the Champions League. They are giving that tournament a right go, but that has come at the expense of their performances in the Premier League.

Villa are only three points adrift of the top four, so they are still right in the mix in this market. But a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday was another disappointing result for Unai Emery’s men.

What Happens to the Top Four Teams in the Premier League?

The top four teams in the Premier League automatically qualify for the group stage of the following season’s Champions League. It is therefore a prize worth fighting for, even though the goal of many clubs at the start of the season is to win the Premier League title.

In previous seasons, the top three teams automatically reached the group stage of the Champions League, and the fourth-place finisher entered the qualifying phase. 

That changed at the start of the 2017/18 campaign when UEFA handed more automatic qualification spots to Europe’s biggest leagues, including England’s top flight.

This season five teams could qualify for the Champions League, but that depends on how well English clubs perform in continental competition in 2024/25.

When it comes to winning the title and finishing in the top four, Manchester United are the most successful side in Premier League history in that regard. Arsenal moved further clear of the chasing pack in second thanks to their second-place finish last term.

Manchester City are still relatively low down this list due to the fact that their first Premier League top-four finish came in 2010/11. They will probably continue to close the gap on the teams above them in the next few seasons.
