Betfair Traders Summer Series: Man City to march on with 6/1 Chelsea best of rest

• City will be unstoppable again in 2023/24

• Champions so good they're worth backing odds-on

• Chelsea to click in Poch's first season

Manchester City have swept all before them for three consecutive seasons and there's no reason to think this won't be another year of glory for The Citizens.

Pep Guardiola's men hit form when it really matters and have the ability to go on long, undefeated runs. At 8/111.73 they are a short enough price to win the title, but it makes no sense looking elsewhere for the outright winner and even at skimpy odds, they're simply the best bet.

The addition of Mateo Kovacic in midfield is an interesting one with the Croatian unlikely to match the goals of thedeparted German Ilkay Gundoghan so they will need Jack Grealish, Phil Foden et al to step up their goal contributions.

The men from East Manchester had the joint-most miserly defence last season, and their dominating style of play should also see that continue.

Poch to have immediate impact at Chelsea

If the prices are too prohibitive about the boys in sky blue, it could pay to back Chelsea each way at around 6/17.00 paying two places.

Mauricio Pochettino will surely have his style of play stamped all over Stamford Bridge. With some dead wood removed and no European competition, they should have a pretty much free shot at the Premier League this season.
