Premier League Winner

A lot can change in just two games in the Premier League, and it certainly has for both Arsenal and Manchester City.

Just 10 days ago, on the night of Man City hosting Nottingham Forest, Pep Guardiola's men were just 7/4 in the Premier League Winner market with the Gunners - who were away at Brighton 24 hours later - 4/9 title favourites. City had a chance to cut the gap at the top of the table to just two points with a home game against Arsenal still to come.

But City fluffed their lines. They could manage only a 2-2 draw with Forest while Mikel Arteta's men beat Brighton 1-0 the following day. The Gunners were 1/8 to win the title after going seven points clear, and in Matchday 30 they stretched that lead to nine points when they beat Everton 2-0 before Man City dropped more points with a 1-1 draw at West Ham.

As a consequence, Arsenal are now long odds-on at 1/20 to be crowned champions with Man City out to 8/1. There's still hope for City - and for an exciting title race - as Guardiola's men still have a game in hand as well as having to play Arsenal at the Etihad, so in theory they could cut the gap to just three points.

But the way both teams are playing at present, and the sizeable cushion that Arsenal have, it's looking extremely likely that the Premier League title is going to the red side of North London.

Premier League Top 4 Finish

Manchester United were the big winners in the race to finish in the top four as they beat one of their rivals, Aston Villa, 3-1 at Old Trafford in Matchday 30 while the two other clubs fighting to finish in the top four, Liverpool and Chelsea, both dropped points.

United's win keeps them third in the table, three points ahead of Aston Villa in fourth and five points clear of Liverpool in fifth who could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to relegation-threatened Tottenham. Not surprisingly Man United shortened to 1/11 in the Premier League Top 4 Finish market which is the shortest price they've been all season.

Liverpool have drifted slightly to 17/20 but Villa are the biggest drifters, out to 13/8 having been as short as 1/5 just a few weeks ago.

Chelsea are enduring a poor run of form under new boss Liam Rosenior and are out to 15/8 to finish in the top four this term. The Blues have won just one of their last five Premier League games and as a result have dropped to sixth in the table, though they are still just three points behind Villa in fourth.

Premier League Relegation

If we're working on the assumption that Wolves will be relegated at th end of the season then there has been no change - in terms of positions - in the five places immediately above them with all five clubs drawing in Matchday 30.

You'd have to think that given Tottenham were away to Liverpool, not losing, and therefore not losing any further ground in the fight to avoid the drop, was a big win for Igor Tudor and his players and they've drifted slightly from 7/4 to 9/4 in the Premier League Relegation market.

Spurs remain 16th in the table but they're just one point above both Nottingham Forest - 9/4 for the drop - and West Ham (11/8) who drew 0-0 at home to Fulham and 1-1 at home to Man City respectively. Leeds are seemingly the only other team in danger of being relegated and they're 7/1 to go down.
