Sensational Drogba inspires Chelsea to victory as title price narrows. Meanwhile, Reds get back to winning ways and Bowyer strikes again...

Chelsea are trading [1.62] to win the Premier League after they went five points clear at the top.

Carlo Ancelotti's men gave an imperious display as they out-played Arsenal in every area of the field to come out 0-3 winners at the Emirate.

Arsenal must loathe the sight of Dider Drogba - the Ivorian striker struck his 10th and 11th goals against the Gunners in eleven matches this afternoon. The first came five minutes before half time when he got on the end of Ashley Cole's chipped cross to side foot a superb finish past Manuel Almunia.

Minutes later, Cole was again the architect as disaster struck for Arsenal. The left-back drove a low cross into the area and, as William Gallas lunged to reach the ball Thomas Vermaelen ended up diverting it into his own net.

Arsenal failed to penetrate a tough Chelsea side in the second-half and, with five minutes remaining Drogba, who trades at [4.1] to be Premier League top goalscorer, rewarded those who backed over 2.5 goals at [5.2], when he curled a brilliant free-kick into Almunia's net from 25 yards out.

Liverpool remain big outsiders for the title at [38.0] but, after a tough week, the Reds were delighted to win the Merseyside derby 2-0 at Goodison Park.

They were lucky to take the lead in the first half when Javier Mascherano's long-range drive cannoned into the Everton net off Joseph Yobo. The Toffees gave a spirited account of themselves for the rest of the half and were denied only be some brilliant goalkeeping from Pepe Reina.

Dirk Kuyt wrapped up victory for the visitors when he followed up Albert Riera's parried shot to tap the ball past Tim Howard. Liverpool were matched at [2.44] for the win and now trade at [1.8] for top four Premier League finish.

In the day's early kick-off Lee Bowyer was on target for the second consecutive week as Birmingham City traded at [3.65] on their way to victory over Wolves at the Molineux.

Birmingham are now out to [4.1] for relegation but punters believe Wolves are on their way down at [1.75].
