Liverpool become new title favourites and Ipswich earn first win

Liverpool are the new favourites for the Premier League title, taking advantage of slip-ups by Arsenal and Manchester City, while Ipswich Town boosted their slim chances of staying up.

The Premier League outright odds have shifted dramatically after another exciting weekend of action, so let's take a look at how they stand going into the last international break of the year.

City and Arsenal drop more points

Injury issues continue to cause City boss Pep Guardiola a headache and his side have now lost four games in a row in all competitions, the first time they have done so under his leadership. City took the lead in their testing trip to Brighton on Saturday but the Seagulls came from behind to record a 2-1 victory and put a big statement win on the board for new boss Fabian Hurzeler.

Seeking a fifth straight title, City were 13/10 in the Premier League title winner outright odds just a couple of weeks ago but their poor run of form has seen them pushed all the way out to 23/10.

Liverpool are five points clear at the top of the table after recording yet another win. Arne Slot's side are also leading the Champions League but a five-point cushion atop the Premier League is much more notable at this stage of the season after their 2-0 home win against Aston Villa.

The Reds have been installed as favourites to win the Premier League title, with odds of 13/10 available on Slot's men.

Arsenal are now nine points back after drawing two and losing two of their past four league games. A 1-1 draw at London rivals Chelsea was not a bad result for the Gunners on Sunday but saw them lose more ground on Liverpool and they are now priced at 4/1 to win the title.

Newcastle boost top-four hopes

Nottingham Forest's brilliant start to the season led to speculation they could compete for a European place, but they dropped down to fifth in the Premier League after losing on Sunday.

Newcastle United ran out 3-1 winners at the City Ground to move within a point of Chelsea in third, with the race for Champions League qualification looking even more congested now.

Chelsea are still the 4/5 favourites in the Premier League top-four finish betting odds - behind Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, who are all seen as certainties. Newcastle's price has been cut to 5/1 and Villa are now out at 6/1 after Unai Emery's men suffered another loss.

Tottenham are still available at 3/1 to finish in the top four even though their surprise defeat at home to Ipswich raised questions about their ability to string together a consistent run of form. Spurs are 10th in the table with three defeats in their past five games in the Premier League.

Ipswich move out of bottom three

The Tractor Boys have looked more at home in the Premier League of late but few expected them to go to Tottenham and win on Sunday. Kieran McKenna's side raced into a 2-0 lead before half-time and were able to hold on for victory despite Pedro Porro getting a goal back.

Their first Premier League win of the campaign moved Ipswich above Crystal Palace and out of the bottom three, but they are still priced at 8/11 in the Premier League relegation betting odds.

Wolves also got their first win of the season, with goals from Pablo Sarabio and Matheus Cunha earned a vital victory at home to fellow strugglers Southampton. The Saints drop to the bottom of the table as a result, with Russell Martin's men seen as 1/5 favourites to suffer relegation.

Gary O'Neil's team are now 7/4 in the Premier League relegation odds while Palace losing at home to Fulham leaves them at 9/2. Losing 3-0 away to Manchester United means Leicester City are only three points clear of the drop zone and the Foxes are at 5/6 to be relegated now.

The goalless draw between West Ham and Everton leaves them at 12/1 and 13/5 in the Premier League relegation betting odds as the pressure continues to build on their respective managers.

Lopetegui and Martin lead sack race odds

Wolves' win has eased the pressure on O'Neil, who was 3/1 to be the next manager to leave their job a week ago but has seen his price move out to 6/1 after they beat Southampton.

Saints boss Russell Martin is still at the top of the Premier League sack race betting odds with the bookmakers pricing him up at 11/8 as the next manager to depart. Reports indicated that West Ham's Julen Lopetegui would be in danger of being sacked if they lost at home to Everton. A draw gives him breathing space but the Spaniard is being offered at 7/5 to be sacked next.

Oliver Glasner is one to watch in the Premier League sack race betting market at 6/1 after the Eagles dropped into the relegation zone, while Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is now at 16/1.

Salah closing on Haaland in Golden Boot race

City striker Erling Haaland is still the 1/5 favourite in the Premier League Golden Boot betting odds, but Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has closed the gap to three goals after he scored yet again, netting the crucial clincher at Anfield to help the Reds finish off Villa on Saturday night.

Salah was 11/1 in the Golden Boot betting odds not long ago but his superb run of form has seen the Egyptian superstar cut to 15/2, in from 8/1 last week. The bookmakers see it as a three-man race with Chelsea's Cole Palmer at 12/1 to win the Golden Boot this season. His team-mate Nicolas Jackson is 25/1 with Alexander Isak now at 33/1 after he scored again.
