Manchester City maintain advantage in Premier League title race betting odds

Manchester City remain clear in the Premier League title race betting odds after they and the league leaders Arsenal both won at the weekend, but it is now seen as a two-horse race.

Liverpool's attempts to keep up the pace with Arsenal and City have faltered of late and their 2-2 draw away to West Ham United in Saturday's early kick-off is likely to be a decisive blow.

Star man Mo Salah and departing manager Jurgen Klopp had a touchline row at London Stadium as Liverpool dropped points again. They have won just one of their past five games in the league and are now 500/1 to end the campaign with another title for Klopp before he leaves.

With Liverpool almost out of it, Arsenal temporarily moved four points ahead of City by winning 3-2 away to Tottenham in the North London derby. Arsenal were 3-0 up and seemingly cruising, but rare signs of defensive weaknesses were exposed by the late Spurs comeback.

Arsenal have the best defensive record in the Premier League but Spurs may have shown teams a way to hurt Mikel Arteta's side, who host Bournemouth in the first of their remaining three games. The bookmakers are offering Premier League outright winner odds of 9/4, with City still preferred as a result of the champions having a game in hand on Arsenal.

City won 2-0 at relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest this weekend, following up an easy 4-0 midweek win away to Brighton, to make it five victories on the spin in the Premier League. They are at home to injury-hit Wolves next but again play after Arsenal, which may have an impact.

The Premier League title race betting odds have City as the 2/5 favourites to claim the crown again and if their winning streak continues they will be champions for the fourth straight year.

Spurs could yet have a say in the title race as they host City in the game in hand Pep Guardiola's side still have to play, but their Champions League hopes are fading fast. While they have two games in hand on Villa, a seven-point gap has opened after back-to-back defeats. 

Villa could only draw 2-2 at home to Chelsea but Spurs losing again has extended their advantage in the race for Champions League qualification. Unai Emery's side go to Brighton next and are priced at 1/6 in the top-four finish betting odds, with fifth place now unlikely to also get a spot. Spurs, who are away to Chelsea and Liverpool next, are 9/2.

Newcastle United are 11/10 in the Premier League top-six finish betting odds, with Manchester United at 6/4 despite Erik ten Hag's side being a point ahead. Chelsea are offered at 6/1.

Erling Haaland is the 4/9 favourite in the Premier League top goalscorer betting odds. Cole Palmer is just a goal behind and 4/1 for the Golden Boot.
