Chelsea's win at Newcastle means the Premiership title race is going to the wire...

Man Utd will go into the last day of the Premiership season as the [1.24] favourites on Betfair to successfully defend their title, with Chelsea the [4.8] outsiders.

Chelsea drifted to [2.02] from a starting price of around 1.6 before beating Newcastle 2-0 this afternoon, a win which was essential to keep their title hopes alive. That scoreline was matched at a high of [9.2] on Betfair with Avram Grant's men to be drawing at half-time and winning at full-time matched at a high of [5.3].

Chelsea are currently available at odds of [8.0] to win both the Premiership and Champions League and [2.2] to not win either on Betfair's Team Trophies market. Man Utd are [2.2] to win both the Premiership and Champions League and [9.2] to win neither.

What does look a certainty is that Cristiano Ronaldo will finish the season as the Premiership's top goalscorer - he is currently unbackable having been matched at a high of [38.0] earlier on in the season.
