Premier League Winner

Although moving only half a point, Manchester City are the team that have shortened the most in the Premier League Winner market following their impressive 4-0 win at Wolves on Saturday.

On the back of that win, and after Liverpool had won 4-2 over Bournemouth on Friday night, Arsenal drifted out to 5/23.50 prior to their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, but despite a decent performance from United, the Gunners ground out a 1-0 win and were cut to 2/13.00 to win the title.

The big drifters are Chelsea who went out from 15/28.50 to 11/112.00 following a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Liverpool remain the 7/42.75 favourites to defend their crown, though they drifted slightly to 15/82.88 before coming back in following Chelsea's draw.

Premier League Top 4 Finish

Chelsea have also drifted in the Top 4 Finish market following their failure to beat Crystal Palace, and it's Tottenham who shortened the most, being cut from 5/16.00 to 7/24.50 following their 3-0 win over Burnley before drifting slightly again, out to 4/15.00.

Aton Villa are big drifters, out to 6/17.00 from 4/15.00 following a relatively below par performance in a 0-0 draw with Newcastle who remain 3/14.00 to finish in the top four.
