Man City to win the Premier League has drifted from 3/1, with 11/2 now the best price at Betfair Sportsbook. Read the full story.
The odds on Man City to win the Premier League have drifted out from 3/1 to 5/1 with Coral after Aston Villa ended their perfect league start at Villa Park.
Seven of 18 bookmakers have eased their odds on Man City to win the Premier League.
The best price on City now sits at 11/2 with Betfair Sportsbook.
Arsenal are the clear favourites at a best price of 4/9 with Sporting Index.
A Nicolas Jackson brace ended City's flawless league start under Enzo Maresca.
Aston Villa's 2-1 win at Villa Park on Saturday did the damage. Nicolas Jackson put the home side in front early, Erling Haaland pulled City level after the break, and Jackson struck again on the hour to end a flawless winning start to the league campaign under Enzo Maresca. It stings more because City had just torn AEK Athens apart 5-1 in the Champions League, with Phil Foden helping himself to a hat-trick. The firepower is clearly there. The issue is what happens when City fail to turn it into points on the road.
The market wasted no time. Coral pushed City out to 5/1, and seven of 18 bookmakers have now eased their odds, which tells you this is a broad reaction rather than one firm getting twitchy. Losing a perfect record is one thing, but doing it while Arsenal sit so short at the top of the log is what really shifts the Man City odds. Every dropped point now makes the gap to the favourites harder to close, and the bookies have priced that in quickly.

Who is favourite to win the Premier League?
Arsenal are the clear favourites at a best price of 4/9 with Sporting Index, and right now the Premier League odds make this look like their title to lose. City remain second-shortest at 11/2 with Betfair Sportsbook, still comfortably clear of the chasing pack even after the drift. Behind them, the market sees a big drop to the rest, which is why every slip from City gets punished so sharply: they are the only side priced as a genuine threat to Arsenal.
Arsenal – clear favourites at 4/9 with Sporting Index.
Man City – second-shortest at 11/2 with Betfair Sportsbook after easing from 3/1.
Brighton – available at 16/1 with Betfair Sportsbook.
Liverpool – also 16/1, with William Hill.

What do Man City need to do to win the Premier League?
Simple enough on paper: get back to winning and keep the pressure on Arsenal. Brighton visit twice in quick succession, first in the League Cup on 28 October and then in the league on 31 October. The second of those is the one that matters for this market. With Haaland and Foden in this kind of scoring touch, City have the attacking quality to put a run together, and a few straight league wins would soon have the bookies trimming that price again. Our view is that City are still the only side in a position to make Arsenal sweat, so the drift looks like a fair reaction to one bad afternoon rather than the end of their title push.
