Man City favourites in Premier League title odds after Liverpool drop points

Man City Favourites To Win the Premier League Title After Liverpool Drop Points

Liverpool's potentially costly draw at Manchester United on Sunday has left Manchester City standing as the narrow favourites in the Premier League title race betting odds.

Jurgen Klopp's side could only draw 2-2 at Old Trafford despite dominating the first half, with the Reds therefore losing ground compared to the leaders Arsenal and City, who are a point behind.

In what is shaping up to be the most exciting Premier League title race for many years, City are being offered at 6/4 by the bookmakers after their 4-2 weekend win away to Crystal Palace.

Despite England star Phil Foden being rested ahead of a Champions League clash with Real Madrid, a brace from Kevin De Bruyne helped the defending champions come from behind.

Later in the day, Arsenal reclaimed top spot with a 3-0 victory at Brighton. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring from the spot, and Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard scored in a comfortable win.

The Gunners have only dropped two points out of the last 33 available, but they can be backed at 7/4 to break their long wait for the Premier League title despite that fine run of recent form.

Just weeks after a wild FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford, Liverpool were held 2-2 with Mo Salah's penalty salvaging a point after United came from behind to lead on Sunday.

Draws against City and United in their past five games could prove costly for the Reds' chances of Klopp signing off with another league title. Their title odds are now 9/4 with seven games left.

Fifth place could be enough to secure Champions League qualification this season, with Tottenham and Aston Villa battling hard to guarantee their place by finishing in fourth spot.

Villa led 2-0 at home to Brentford on Saturday but needed a late Ollie Watkins goal to earn a 3-3 draw, meaning Spurs moved above them in the table after beating Nottingham Forest 3-1.

Spurs, who have a game in hand, are now 4/9 in the top-four finish betting odds, with Villa now being offered at 9/4, having only won one of their past five games in the Premier League. 

Manchester United's unpredictable form leaves them as outside 50/1 shots to finish in the top four, with Erik ten Hag's side taking just five points from six games to sit 11 points behind Spurs.

The Golden Boot race could be just as exciting as the battle to win the Premier League title. Erling Haaland leads the way on 19 goals and is priced up at 4/9 in the top goalscorer betting odds, just ahead of Salah, who is 9/2 to take the prize for the fourth time in his career.

Watkins, whose haul of 18 Premier League goals does not include any spot kicks, can be backed at 9/1, and Chelsea's in-form penalty specialist Cole Palmer is priced up at 10/1.
