Late Gunners win sees them go clear title favourites

Arsenal are the new, and clear, favourites on the Betfair Sportsbook to win the Premier League title after a dramatic victory at home to Leicester, just hours after Manchester City dropped points at Newcastle.

Mikel Arteta's men are now 6/5 in the Premier League Winner market with Man City out to 2/1.

The Gunners looked set for a comfortable win at home to the newly-promoted Foxes when leading 2-0 at the interval thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, but Leicester, who traded at close to 600.0 in the match odds market commencing the second half, shocked the home faithful when drawing level through a brace of James Justin goals.

Arteta's men looked to be heading towards a 2-2 draw, but in the 94th minute, and matched at a high of 5.2 to win the game, Trossard bundled the ball home to put his sdie back in front. Kai Havertz completed the 4-2 victory deep in stoppage time.

City drop points at St James' Park

Earlier in the day Man City could only take a point from St James' Park thanks to a 1-1 draw with Newcastle.

The game was played 24 hours after Pep Guardiola had confirmed that star midfielder Rodri would be sidelined for the rest of the season after he had undergone surgery in Spain to fix an ACL injury.

Citizens defender Josko Gvardiol had given the away side the lead late in the first half, but Anthony Gordon converted a second half penalty after he was brought down by City goalkeeper Ederson.

Today's results mean that both Arsenal and Manchester City are locked together at the top of the table (before Liverpool and Aston Villa's games) on 14 points, so the fact that the Gunners are now clear favourites to win the title means that Betfair punters clearly believe that Rodri's long-term absence will hinder the defending champions.

Reds go top and Blues win again

Liverpool are the 4/1 third favourites to win the title after they went top of the table with a 2-1 win at Wolves on Saturday evening.

Goals from Ibrahima Konate and Mo Salah either side of the interval were good enough to claim all three points at Molineux and send Arne Slot's men to the top of the table thanks to winning five of their opening six Premier League fixtures this term.

Chelsea moved up to fourth in the table (before Sunday's games) thanks to an entertaining 4-2 win at home to previously unbeaten Brighton.

In an incredible first half that witnessed all six goals scored in the match, Blues attacker Cole Palmer scored all of his team's goals, scoring a hat-trick in a little over nine minutes and scoring all four within a 20-minute period.
