25-1 Wolves shock Manchester City - Liverpool new Premier League favourites

Liverpool are the new Premier League favourites after 25-1 shots Wolves claimed a shock 2-0 victory at Manchester City on Sunday.

Adama Traore's brace for Wanderers at the Etihad leaves the champions eight points behind Liverpool after just eight games of the 2019-20 campaign.

The Reds had looked set to drop their first points of the league season on Saturday until James Milner's 95th-minute penalty gave them a 2-1 home win over Leicester.

And Liverpool fans' delight at that late winner would have been matched by their joy at the surprise setback for Pep Guardiola's men, who had been just 1-7 to beat Wolves.

City had started the weekend as 5-6 favourites to retain their title with Liverpool 6-5 but Betfair now make Jurgen Klopp's Reds 8-11 and the Citizens 11-10.

Liverpool were 13-5 at the start of the season as bookmakers rated Pep's side solid 8-13 market leaders.
