Premier League Winner

Arsenal remain favourites to win the Premier League title, and they've shortened marginally to 4/51.80 following their 1-0 win at Fulham on Saturday evening and Liverpool's defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

The Gunners went back to the top of the table with the victory after Manchester City had briefly held top spot following their 2-0 home win over Everton. City were clipped into 10/34.33 from 4/15.00 to win the title.

Liverpool's defeat to United was their third straight league defeat and they now trail the Gunners by four points. Arne Slot's men drifted to their biggest price of the season to win the title, available to back at 4/15.00. United can be backed at 50/151.00.

Chelsea's price remains unchanged at 22/123.00 despite winning 3-0 at Nottingham Forest, a result that cost Ange Postecoglou his job, while Tottenham's 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa saw them drift out to 66/167.00 for the title.

Premier League Top 4 Finish

With Arsenal un-backable in the market, Man City moved to second in the betting at 2/151.13 to record a Top 4 Finish following their win over Everton, Liverpool drifted to 1/51.20 after losing at home to Man United.

Chelsea are the fourth team in the market to trade at odds-on, they went from 1/12.00 to 4/51.80 after their 3-0 over Nottm Forest, while Tottenham and Newcastle drifted after losing to Aston Villa and Brighton respectively over the weekend.

Premier League Top 6 Finish

Not much movement in the Top 6 Finish market after Matchday 8 though Aston Villa shortened to 5/16.00 from 6/17.00 after their 2-1 win at Tottenham, Spurs themselves drifting slightly to 11/82.38.

The win for Villa moved them to within two points of Chelsea in fifth and within three points of Bournemouth in third so perhaps their odds are still on the generous side given that they were just 5/42.25 pre-season to finish in the top six.

Manchester United shortened to 11/102.11 after their excellent win at Anfield, though like Villa, their odds are still bigger than they were pre-season, while Newcastle drifted out slightly to 6/42.50 after losing to Brighton (2/13.00)

Premier League Relegation

Wolves have joined Burnley at the head of the Relegation market following their 2-0 loss at Sunderland on Saturday. Vitor Pereira's men remain without a Premier League win this season and they're rock bottom of the table with just two points, and they're now 2/51.40 to go down having been 3/14.00 before the new season commenced.

The Black Cats' excellent start to the campaign continued with a goal in each half against Wolves which moved them up to seventh in the table. Regis Le Bris' men can be backed at 9/43.25 to be relegated.

Burnley also recorded a 2-0 win - over fellow promoted team Leeds - a result that moved them out of the relegation zone, though Scott Parker's men are still 2/51.40 to go down. Leeds are 15th in the table and can be backed at 5/23.50 in the market.

Nottingham Forest are now 11/43.75 - from a pre-season high of 8/19.00 - to be relegated following their 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea, a result that cost Ange Postecoglou his job, making his 39-day stint at the City Ground the shortest managerial reign in Premier League history.

Following West Ham's 2-0 home defeat to Brentford on Monday night the Hammers are the third team to trade at odds-on in the market; Nunu Espirito Santo's men are now 10/111.91 from 11/82.38 after they put in a dreadful performance in the defeat to the Bees. The Hammers have now lost all four of their Premier League home games this season.

Premier League Top Goalscorer

Surprisingly there's no change in the betting market to be the Premier League's Top Goalscorer this season and Erling Haaland remains the 2/91.22 favourite to win the Golden Boot. The Norwegian striker's red hot form continued with a brace against Everton on Saturday and he's now five clear at the top of the goalscoring charts.

The only other player to score this weekend from those listed below was Newcastle's Nick Woltemade and he remains at 35/136.00 to finish top of the scoring charts.

Although not listed below, Jean Philippe-Mateta's hat-trick for Crystal Palace saw him move up to five goals for the season and he can be backed at 90/191.00 in the market.
