Arsenal's Premier League title chances as they face Nottingham Forest in season opener

Arsenal may have a tough task ahead of them if they are to emulate their title-chasing season when the Premier League season kicks off. The Gunners found out who they will face first in the title race and, on paper, they have solid run in with Nottingham Forest at home before a trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace then back-to-back home matches against Fulham and Manchester United.

Mikel Arteta will be looking for his side to have an immediate impact on the season and keep the momentum going - especially now they have returned to the Champions League competition this season too. But more so they can improve on their title fight with Manchester City - even though the bookies have a clear winner in next season's race.

Betfred have priced Pep Guardiola's side at 4/7 heavy favourites to lift the trophy in May 2024 and achieve an unprecedented fourth consecutive league title in the history of top-flight English football. Meanwhile, Arsenal are priced at the same level as Liverpool at 8/1 - the latter finishing outside the Champions League spots and will be plying their trade in the upcoming Europa League.
