Premier League winner odds: Arsenal favourites but City catching up

Manchester City’s dominant win over Liverpool at the weekend has seen The Citizens’ Premier League winner odds shorten to 2/1 while Liverpool’s price has gone out to 10/1, according to bookmakers’ odds. 

The most intriguing match this weekend was the tie between Manchester City and Liverpool. The outcome was in keeping with the teams’ performances this year as City ran out 3-0 winners. 

Despite having an early penalty saved, goal machine Erling Haaland scored the first goal of the game in the 29th minute, who leads the way in the Premier League Golden Boot running, with Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku goals capping off a dominant scoreline. The result means City have won four of their last five while Liverpool have lost four of their last five.

The result also saw Liverpool end up behind Manchester United in the table, albeit only on goal difference. 

United are unbeaten in their last five, although that does include the two most recent draws. The Red Devils drew 2-2 against Tottenham at the weekend, with most of the action taking place in injury time. 

Bryan Mbeumo, who has proven an excellent signing for the Red Devils, headed United into the lead in the first half before Mathys Tel levelled with six minutes remaining.

Fans will be pleased to know that the bookmakers now believe United are more likely to win the league (40/1) than get relegated (66/1). 

Richarlison wheeled off like he’d won the game when he put Spurs in front in stoppage time, only for defender Matthijs de Ligt to pour cold water on his celebrations with a 96th minute equaliser.

Another game that ended 2-2 was the clash between Arsenal and Sunderland. The Gunners conceded their first goals since September, while newly promoted Sunderland brought an end to Arsenal’s 10-game winning streak.

Although it could have been much worse for Arteta’s men, as they are still four points ahead of City at the top, they will be looking over their shoulder at the Etihad outfit.

The results mean Arsenal are still 8/11 favourites. But City’s price has shortened from 16/5 to 2/1, and Liverpool, the pre-season favourites, have drifted out from 4/1 to 10/1. Next up are Chelsea at 20/1 and Manchester United at 50/1.

Premier League relegation odds

At the other end of the table, Wolves lost 3-0 to Chelsea and have only picked up 2 points from their opening 11 matches. Forest picked up just their second win of the season and their first under manager Sean Dyche, beating Leeds 3-1. 

West Ham also picked up a crucial win, narrowly beating Burnley 3-2. Burnley, whose manager Scott Parker is third in the running to be next PL manager to leave, remain ahead of West Ham in the table, but only by a couple of goals. 

In terms of relegation odds, Wolves are now the firm favourites to go down at odds of 1/8 with Burnley (3/10), West Ham (11/8), and Leeds (6/4) next up. Despite being second to bottom, Forest’s victory has seen their odds go from 9/4 to 3/1.
