Premier League title odds: Can Liverpool be caught after derby setback?
Imago Arne Slot and Liverpool suffered a setback at Goodison Park in midweek.
The Premier League title race is heading towards its business end, but can anybody stop Liverpool?
The Reds suffered a setback when James Tarkowski equalised for Everton deep into added time in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby.

The centre-back’s goal in the final derby at Goodison Park made it 2-2 after Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister and Everton striker Beto had earlier got on the scoresheet.
This denied Arne Slot and his team the chance to go nine points clear at the top of the table, but they remain seven points in front of Arsenal.
And their dominance is reflected in the bookies’ odds. Betway have Liverpool at 1/4 on with 14 matches of the campaign remaining.
Arsenal are second in the table and second favourites, available at 100/30.
But with striker Kai Havertz joining Gabriel Jesus in the treatment room for the rest of the season, and fellow star forwards Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli also injured, it’s looking like a big ask for the Gunners.
Can anyone else make a late run from further down the table?
Nottingham Forest are a surprise package in third place right now, and they are available at 100/1 to do the unthinkable and win the league following a 17th-placed finish last season.
Reigning champions Manchester City, who have won the last four titles in a row, are also available at 100/1.
Pep Guardiola’s team have finished seasons strongly in the past but currently in fifth place and 16 points adrift following a wretched run of results over the winter, the title appears beyond them this time around.
Chelsea are fourth, above Manchester City, but are at longer odds of 150/1 following their own recent loss of form.
The Blues were not expected to necessarily reach the top four this season so manager Enzo Maresca is unlikely to be too worried about the title.
Newcastle make up the top six favourites, although they’re available at a massive 250/1. The Magpies have reached the Carabao Cup final, against Liverpool in March, but sit in sixth, 16 points behind the Reds in the league.
This weekend, Liverpool host Wolves on Sunday at Anfield, with nearest challengers Arsenal in action away to Leicester on Saturday.
