Outright Markets: Title Race And Relegation
Arsenal remain the clear leaders in the title race, while the bottom of the table is starting to take shape too.
Premier League Winner
| Club | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Man City | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Chelsea | 12/1 | 7.7% |

| Brighton | 100/1 | 1.0% |
To Be Relegated
A Weekend That Could Shape Both Ends Of The Table
While Arsenal's title credentials look well established at 4/6, the bottom of the table remains far more fluid, with Coventry, Hull and Ipswich all facing sides currently expected to beat them this weekend.
A poor result for any of that trio would only tighten the grip those relegation prices already have, while a shock win could ease the pressure heading into the following round.
At the top, Man City's visit to Sunderland looks a straightforward opportunity to close the gap on Arsenal, provided results elsewhere don't complicate matters.
