I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Arsenal drift from 1/6 to 4/11 after Manchester United defeat
  • Man City shorten to 11/4 following win over Wolves
  • West Ham relegation odds ease from 1/10 to 1/3 after back-to-back wins

As the Premier League title race continues to twist, the betting markets are reacting accordingly. 

After a setback at the Emirates last weekend, Arsenal have drifted from 1/6 to 2/5 in the Premier League Winner market, while Manchester City, fresh from a comfortable 2-0 win over Wolves, are now 3/1 from 4/1 just a week ago.

At the other end of the table, West Ham have seen their relegation odds improve following consecutive victories, although they remain in the mix with Nottingham Forest and Leeds, who have also been picking up points.

Here’s your full Premier League preview ahead of this week’s fixtures.

Premier League Winner Odds: Arsenal’s Cushion Shrinks

Arsenal’s momentum took a hit in their defeat to Michael Carrick's Manchester United and betting sites have responded. 

Their odds to lift the title have moved out to 2/5, with punters starting to sense an opening for City to launch a familiar late surge.

Arsenal2/571.4%
Man City3/125.0%
Aston Villa14/16.7%

The gap in the market suggests there’s still a strong belief in Mikel Arteta’s side, but City’s form has bettors backing them to close in fast.

Premier League Relegation Market: West Ham Recovering

While Wolves and Burnley remain unbackable for the drop, while West Ham’s recent revival sees them shorten from heavy odds-on to 1/2. 

Prior to their two wins, the Hammers had been as short as 1/10 for the drop.
