Manchester City 6-5 to overhaul leaders Liverpool in Premier League title race

It remains tight at the top of the Premier League title betting after champions Manchester City cut Liverpool’s lead to four points thanks to a cosy 3-0 victory at relegation favourites Huddersfield.

Goals from Danilo, a 28-1 chance to open the scoring, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane secured the points for City, who are 6-5 to retain their league title by overhauling 8-11 favourites Liverpool.

Tottenham are a distant third in the title betting at 100-1 but they claimed a vital victory in the battle for a top-four place with substitute Harry Winks scoring an injury-time goal in their 2-1 win at Fulham.

Spurs, who trailed to a first-half own goal from striker Fernando Llorente, traded at 25-1 in-play before Winks’s late intervention and they are 1-4 to finish in the top four.

Their win at Craven Cottage gives them a four-point cushion over fourth-placed Chelsea, with Arsenal and Manchester United a further three points back.

United, resurgent under interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, are 13-8 to finish in the top four with Chelsea 1-2 and Arsenal 7-2.

Tottenham’s comeback was a huge blow to Fulham’s chances of staying in the Premier League and the Cottagers are 1-4 for an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship.

Huddersfield’s prospects are even bleaker – the Terriers are ten points from safety and 1-33 for the drop.

Cardiff (1-2) and Burnley (7-4) are also in the thick of the battle while Newcastle, at 4-1, are the only other club shorter than 20-1 to go down.

Spurs just about scraped home in their first game of a challenging time without Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son but Mo Salah is the 8-11 favourite to retain his Golden Boot title.

Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is 3-1 with Sergio Aguero 7-1, Kane 14-1 and Sterling trimmed to 40-1 from 50-1 by Betfred after taking his league goal tally to ten.
