Despite drawing so many games, unbeaten Manchester United look like they could run away with it, but Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Spurs are all in with a shout. We compare odds on all the usual suspects.
All odds are quoted in decimals.
Manchester United currently have a five point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League and that’s despite drawing nine games this season and having only won three times away from Old Trafford. Many pundits and fans alike have been at a loss to explain quite why United have been so inconsistent and yet they remain unbeaten.
United still have to travel to Stamford Bridge, The Emirates and Anfield, while Manchester City have to come to Old Trafford in February for what could yet prove to be a season defining game. United are red-hot favourites to win back the title. Betfair are offering Manchester United title odds of 1.69.
After making a flying start to the season, Chelsea have stumbled badly following the club’s decision to part company with long-term coach and fans favourite Ray “Butch” Wilkins. As a result, Chelse are currently in fourth spot behind United, Arsenal and Manchester City. However, following the recent three-nil away win at Bolton, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti says his team have turned the corner. Betfair are offering Chelsea title odds of 8.79.
If you don’t fancy United or Chelsea’s chances, then how about the Gunners? Arsene Wenger is well overdue a title win given he’s not won a major trophy since 2005 when Arsenal won the FA Cup. The Gunners could prove to be the dark horses. Betfair are offering Arsenal title odds of 3.76.
Manchester City’s have been one of the teams of the season so far and they have by far the best away record in the division. Mancini’s team have not pleased everyone with some of their performances; the trips to Arsenal and Spurs were the subject of much post-match debate, both games ended in bore draws and City were slammed after both encounters. Despite the criticism, ‘money-bags’ City could yet finish as the season as champions. The Manchester derby in February could be a classic – it is a must win game for City. Betfair are offering Manchester City title odds of 18.00
Tottenham have been a breath of fresh air this season with their attacking football. Rafael van der Vaart is proving to be one the signings of the year, the Dutchman has been in superb goal-scoring form and his arrival at the Lane has been one of the main contributing factors.
Betfair are offering Spurs title odds of 133.00
Quoted odds correct as of 26/01/2011
