Premier League: Ten-Man Arsenal Gain Three Crucial Points - Odds Watch

Arsenal managed to pick up all three points despite being a man down for an entire second half, ensuring they are still in the title race. This and more in the latest PL odds recap.

Liverpool Ease Past Ipswich

League leaders Liverpool continued their charge towards the title when they beat Ipswich 4-1 at Anfield. Dominic Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah scored the first two before Cody Gakpo bagged a brace. Jacob Greaves’ stoppage time goal proved merely a consolation. They’re now 2/9 to lift the trophy. 

Arsenal managed to secure three points against Wolves this weekend despite having been down to ten men after just 43 minutes. They beat Wolves 1-0 at Molyneux courtesy of Riccardo Calafiori’s second Premier League goal. 

18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly received a straight red card in controversial fashion for what was deemed a dangerous challenge by referee Michael Oliver. Wolves would lose their man advantage when Joao Pedro was booked for a second time, and shortly after Calafiori scored the winner. Arsenal are 9/2 to win the Premier League title. 

Forest Suffer Blow in Top-Four Race

Nottingham Forest suffered a devastating blow when they faced Bournemouth this weekend. The Cherries chopped down the Trees, thrashing Nuno Espírito Santo’s side 5-0. Forest are still in the driving seat for a Champions League place and are now 3/1 to make the top four. 

On the other side of said thrashing, Bournemouth once again proved just how good they are. Yet another hat-trick was scored, this time by Dango Ouattara, and his goals were accompanied by solo goals for Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo. They’re 11/2 to make the top four spots. 

Manchester City and Chelsea faced off in another game where the result would significantly impact the top-four race. After a shaky start for debutant Abdukodir Khusanov, the hosts eventually rode out as 3-1 winners. As such, they’re now 2/5 to make the top four. 

Their opponents, Chelsea, will be severely disappointed not to travel back to London with at least a point. A more ruthless team would have smelled blood at 1-0 up inside the opening five minutes, but were unable to take advantage of City’s slow start. They’re now 8/11 to make the top four spots. 

Everton Secure Huge Three Points

Everton secured another huge win this weekend when they beat Brighton 1-0. A battling performance was awarded with three points, and Iliman Ndiaye’s penalty was all it took to win all three points. The Toffees are now 10/1 to be relegated from the Premier League this season. 

Leicester City also earned a huge three points against Spurs. Goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss helped the Foxes overcome Spurs' first-half lead. Those big three points meant that Leicester’s odds of being relegated are now at 4/11. 

After their humiliating defeat to Leicester, Spurs were left just a point clear of 16th-placed Everton and just eight ahead of the drop zone. With another tough test away to Brentford next week, they may remain too close to the bottom three for comfort. They’re 20/1 to go down. 

Wolves lost again this weekend, making it four defeats in a row in the Premier League. It looked originally as though they’d turned a corner under Vitor Pereira, but they have now dropped into the bottom three. They’re 5/4 to be there come the end of the season. 

Spurs Fans Grow Tired Of Postecoglu Stubbornness

Despite his appointment only coming recently, Vitor Pereira is one of the managers that bookies believe could be the next to leave post. He is 16/1 to do so, and should Wolves keep losing, their board may get rid of him in a desperate attempt to maintain their Premier League status. 

Ruud van Nistlerooy and Leicester City did register a crucial three points when they faced Spurs but they are far from safe yet. Ruud van Nistelrooy undoubtedly has his critics, and it is unclear if he’s the man to keep the Foxes in the top flight. Van Nistelrooy is 5/1 to be the next manager sacked. 

The bookies favourite for the next manager to leave post in the Premier League, unsurprisingly, is Ange Postecoglu. Spurs have been dreadful this season and have picked up zero points from the lost possible six, both against relegation candidates. As such, the Australian is 2/5 to get sacked next. 

Dango Ouattara Hat-Trick Helps Down Forest

Erling Haaland scored again in his pursuit of the Premier League golden boot. His lofted effort over Robert Sanchez saw the Norwegian’s tally rise to 18 for the season. He is now 1/1 to score the most goals this season. 

Mohamed Salah also scored as Liverpool beat Ipswich. Again, just the one goal, but it was enough to keep his tally one clear of the chasing Manchester City striker. Salah is now on 19 for the season and is 6/4 to remain at the top of the charts at the end of the season. 

The free-scoring Swede Alexander Isak scored a brace in Newcastle’s 3-1 win away at St Mary’s. Those goals left him just one behind Haaland in second place and two behind leader Salah. Isak is 5/1 to win the golden boot.
