All the best from the Premiership in-play betting on Betfair and how this weekend's results have changed the odds on Betfair's markets

Manchester United and Chelsea both made valuable progress in their respective Premiership campaigns by winning away from home and by the same 1-0 margin. Manchester United's goal didn't come till the 76th minute when unsurprisingly Cristiano Ronaldo popped up to give United a priceless lead. By this stage they had drifted to 1.96 from a starting price of around 1.2. Ronaldo's side are now 1.63 to win the Premiership after Arsenal's slip-up at home to Middlesbrough and the Gunners have now drifted to 6.4.

Chelsea's win has meant their price to win the league is 4.8 but their defeat of Sunderland has put the Black Cats in real trouble and they are now just 4.1 for the drop. Under 1.5 goals was matched at 8.6 after Chelsea took an early lead but no more goals came about in the match.

Another side with real relegation concerns are Reading who trade at 5.5 to go down and they will feel unlucky not to have taken something from their visit to Anfield after taking an early lead. Liverpool drifted to 1.92 before the unlikely Mascherano leveled and the far more regular goalscorer Torres got on the scoresheet.

Wigan drifted to 5.1 on Betfair to beat fellow relegation strugglers Bolton after having playmaker Jason Koumas sent off with just five minutes on the clock. Under 1.5 goals touched 4.7 after Emile Heskey's opener on 34 minutes. The win has eased Wigan's relegation fears and they have now drifted to 12 for the drop with Bolton now in serious trouble and trading at just 2.1, the shortest they've been all season.

Fulham did their own relegation survival fight no harm either with a 1-0 win at home to Everton, having drifted to 5.3 on the match odds market on Betfair before Brian McBride's winner. Fulham have been eased to 1.57 for the drop whereas Everton have now fallen behind in the race for that fourth place finish and are now 4.0 for that final Champions League spot after being matched at 2.52. Liverpool are now 1.29 for a top four finish.

Manchester City have kept their slim European hopes alive after being matched at 15 on Betfair to come from behind to beat Tottenham. Spurs were matched at 1.4 when leading 1-0 and the draw was matched at 1.82. The 2-1 correct score was matched at 21.
