Liverpool favourites again for title
After a brilliant 4-0 victory against Wolves on Sunday night, Liverpool are back into favourites to win the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are now 7/4 for the title, having been 11/5 before the weekend.
In turn, Man City’s odds have been eased slightly due to Liverpool’s sensational performance.
City are now a 2/1 chance, having been as short as 6/4 with two bookmakers after beating Fulham.

It is incredibly tight in the betting and this weekend saw yet another shift between the two Premier League juggernauts. They have flipped positions in the betting markets several times already.
A big weekend lies ahead for Man City, with the Manchester derby on Saturday, whilst Liverpool have the easier task of playing Fulham.
Spurs and Chelsea joint third-favourites
Both Spurs and Chelsea continued their fantastic starts to the season and both were further clipped in the betting for the Premier League title.
Current leaders, Tottenham, are a best price of 11/2 from 13/2 after beating Arsenal on Sunday.
Chelsea also saw the exact same odds movement over the weekend. On Saturday, after winning 3-1 against Leeds, they too were cut from 13/2 into a best price of 11/2.
The Blues haven’t lost a game since September against Liverpool. Frank Lampard is finding a fine tune out of his players as they go from strength to strength.
Spurs started the season off with defeat to Everton and drifted to as big as a massive 150/1 with one bookmaker. Triple-figure prices were readily available with a number of firms after the opening weekend, but their odds have tumbled since as their side sparkle under Mourinho.
Golden Boot odds
Harry Kane is currently sitting on eight goals, three behind Calvert-Lewin on 11, but Kane is the favourite for the Golden Boot with some bookmakers.
As short as 7/2, Spurs’ form coupled with Kane’s incredible goal scoring record means punters are happy to take the current odds on the England captain to win the Golden Boot for a third time. However, two firms are a best price of 9/2 on Kane, making him joint-favourite with Salah and Vardy.
Salah and Vardy are both priced at 9/2 at the current time of writing. Both have won the award in the last three years and after starting the season very well, it’s no surprise to see the pair at the front of the market.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin netted again this weekend to stay at the top of the charts. He’s just behind the front three in the market though, at a best price of 11/2.
Oddschecker users are struggling to split those at the front of the market too. Incredibly, Kane, Salah and Calvert-Lewin have all had 11% of bets placed on them in the last week; testament to just how tight it is.
The race for the Golden Boot is really hotting up...

Interestingly, it is Son Heung-min who is the most backed player on oddschecker with 16% of bets in the last week. The South Korean is currently second in the standings with 10 goals, after scoring a stunning goal against Arsenal on Sunday.
At 10/1, bookmakers think others are more likely but punters evidently believe his current price offers some value, and they’re getting stuck into that price.
