Share
While it has been a tough week overall for English Premier League teams in European competitions, don't forget for a second that the title race is as hot as ever. As things stand, there are three teams in the hunt to win it all.
We're of course talking about Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal. The three EPL giants are hoping to get back on track the next time they take the pitch. Having said that, which side will end up lifting the silverware once late May gets here?
Manchester City has the best odds to win the Premier League in 2024
Man City fans may be a bit down in the dumps right now, but don't forget that Pep Guardiola's men could end up bringing home the league title for the fourth year in a row, something that's never been done before in the league.
On Wednesday night, City suffered a heartbreaking loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals. However, they're still in first place of the league thanks to Liverpool and Arsenal both suffering stunning home losses last weekend to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, respecfully. From our chair, we think MCFC will be making history next month - they're our pick to win it all.

Liverpool FC needs to get back on track as soon as possible
As for Liverpool, it has been a rough few weeks for the reds and manager Jurgen Klopp. Despite that, LFC remains just two points back of Manchester City, as they're in third place with 71 points. Liverpool was eliminated from the Europa League on Thursday, meaning their sole focus is now on the EPL.
Liverpool dropped points on the road against Manchester United and then the loss to Crystal Palace stung quite a bit. The offensive attack hasn't been as impactful in games of late, but there's still time to turn things around. Liverpool will take on Fulham in London on Sunday. This is a must-win game for Klopp and Co.
Arsenal needs to post a win at Wolves this weekend
Speaking of a must-win game, that's going to be the case for Arsenal against Wolves. Arsenal, which lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, was in first place at this point last week, but its home loss to Aston Villa set them back quite a bit. They're now in second place, ahead of LFC due to goal difference.
However, in order for Mikel Arteta's men to leap ahead of MCFC, they're going to need Man City to drop some points. That's much easier said than done, as City is in great form right now. There are still some big games on the way for Arsenal and they'll need to be at their best to stay in the title hunt.
