Arsenal beat Man City 1-0 in crunch title battle

City still odds-on at 8/111.73 to win Premier League

Spurs still unbeaten and go odds-on for Top 4 Finish
Manchester City have drifted to 8/111.73 to win the Premier League title after they lost their second league game on the spin, this time losing 1-0 to title rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
In a dull encounter which looked to be heading towards a goalless draw, substitute Gabriel Martinelli scored an 86th minute winner thanks to his long range shot being deflected into his own net by City defender Nathan Ake.
It's the first time in five years that Man City have lost two consecutive league games, and the defeat also means that Pep Guardiola's men have lost all three games in which defensive midfielder Rodri has been absent through suspension.
The result took the Gunners up to second in the table, level on points with north London rivals Tottenham. Mikel Arteta's men are into 7/24.50 to win the title.
Tottenham lead the way
Tottenham's great start to the season continued with a 1-0 win at Luton on Saturday lunchtime, a result that was all the more satisfying given that they went down to 10 men at the end of the first half when Yves Bissouma was dismissed for two bookable offences with the scoreline at 0-0.
But early in the second half James Maddison's cut back was poked home by Micky van de Ven and Spurs comfortably saw out the game to win 1-0.
Ange Postecoglou's men remain unbeaten this term and they're now into 10/111.00 to win the title, and for the first team this season they've gone odds-on at 5/61.84 to record a Top 4 Finish.
Tottenham's victory kick-started an incredible £264,712 pay-out for one very brave Betfair Punter. Read about the remarkable bet here.
Liverpool remain third favourites to win the title at 5/16.00 though they had to settle for a point on Sunday afternoon after Mo Salah's brace was cancelled out by Simon Adingra's first half strike and Lewis Dunk's late equaliser.
The Seagulls can be backed at 11/43.75 to finish in the top four, just behind Newcastle at 8/52.60, who were held to a 2-2 dray by West Ham, and ahead of Aston Villa at 7/24.50 who could only draw 1-1 at Wolves.
Promotion trio still all fancied to go down
At the bottom end of the table it's looking very bleak for the likes of Sheffield United and Bournemouth who remain the only two clubs not to win a league game this season.
The Blades lost 3-1 at Fulham and are now red hot favourites at 1/81.12 in the Relegation market. The Cherries lost 3-0 at Everton and are 15/82.88 to go down.
The two other promoted clubs - Luton and Burnley - also lost on Saturday, the Hatters losing at home to Spurs while the Clarets where thrashed 1-4 at home to Chelsea. They can be backed at 1/71.14 and 11/53.20 respectively to be relegated.
