Jürgen Klopp’s side now have a ‘71% chance’ of topping Man City and Leicester
Liverpool have been handed a massive boost at the bookmakers of winning their first-ever Premier League title, following the Reds 3-1 win over Manchester City.
Jürgen Klopp’s side have been cut from 4/5 into 2/5 clear favourites at the top of the market, which is now a 71.4% implied chance they win the Premier League.
Having been handed a comprehensive defeat at Anfield, City have drifted quite significantly in the market, lengthening from 11/10 pre-game out to 5/2.
Elsewhere, it isn’t being written off completely as a two horse race by bookmakers, with the odds of Leicester and Chelsea both being nibbled in from 50/1 into 40/1.
Despite the season only being in November, the top four look all but sorted, according to the bookies, with Manchester United the next most likely at 500/1 in fifth favourites.
The aforementioned top four are now all heavily odds-on to be the top four come the end of the campaign, with Liverpool (1/1000), Man City (1/1000), Chelsea (1/4) and Leicester (8/13) all looking assured of Champions League football next season.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “Fans and punters who backed Liverpool pre-season at 11/4 will be delirious with the start Jürgen Klopp’s side have made.
“That price has been hammered with Liverpool picking up 34 points out of a possible 36, and the 30% of punters that have backed the Reds over the last six months will wait with bated breath to see if the Reds can bring it home.”
