Premier League Latest: Man City still favourites for title despite Arsenal win

Premier League Winner odds
Man City remain favourites to win the title but only just

It was wins for all three of the teams involved in significant Premier League games on Saturday but that hasn't stopped the Betfair markets from reacting. Mike Norman has the details...


Gunners go three points clear

Arsenal are 10/111.91 to win the Premier League title after they returned to the top of the table with a hard-fought victory over struggling Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Gunners were expected to brush the out-of-form North East outfit aside but they were second best for large parts of the game and had a brilliant Eberechi Eze goal to thank for their win.

The victory took Mikel Arteta's men back to the top of the table, three points clear of Manchester City who were in FA Cup semi-final action at the same time. The Gunners have a chance to move six points clear when they host Fulham next Saturday with City not playing until two days later, away to Everton.

Manchester City remain favourites at 4/51.80 to win the title but they're now facing a fixture headache with two Premier League games still to be rearranged.

Pep Guardiola's men came from a goal down to beat Championship side Southampton on Saturday to book their place in next month's FA Cup final, where they will face Chelsea.

The Citizens are still waiting to confirm a date for their rearranged Premier League game at home to Crystal Palace and they will now need to rearrange their trip to Bournemouth - originally scheduled for Sunday 17 May - due to being in the FA Cup final on Saturday 16 May.

Remaining Premier League Fixtures:

Date Arsenal Man City
W/C 2 May Fulham (H) Everton (a)
W/C 9 May West Ham (a) Brentford (H)
17 May Burnley (H)
24 May Crystal Palace (a) Aston Villa (H)

Spurs get first win of 2026 but remain odds-on to be relegated

Tottenham remain odds-on at 4/61.67 to be relegated despite recording their first Premier League win of the year with a 1-0 victory at Wolves on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs went into the game on the back of Nottingham Forest's thumping 5-0 win at Sunderland on Friday night, meaning that in all likelihood the final club to be relegated would be themselves or West Ham.

And during the game at Molineux Roberto de Zerbi's men suffered a double injury blow with both Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons having to be replaced. But a Joao Palhinha strike in the 82nd minute sealed a vital three points for the North London side.

At the same time as Spurs were claiming three points, West Ham were also taking maximum points at home to Everton.

Tomas Soucek headed the Hammers in front early in the second half but that lead was cancelled out by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall with just minutes remaining. It look like West Ham were heading for the drop zone, but Callum Wilson scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to keep Nuno Espirito Santo's men ahead of Spurs.

West Ham remain 17th in the table, two points above Tottenham, and they can be backed at 6/42.50 to be relegated.

Remaining Premier League Fixtures:

Date Tottenham West Ham
W/C 2 May Aston Villa (a) Brentford (a)
W/C 9 May Leeds (H) Arsenal (H)
17 May Newcastle (a)
24 May Everton (H) Leeds (H)
TBC Chelsea (a)
