Liverpool and Manchester City maintain Premier League pace
Tottenham lose ground in defeat at Chelsea
It's a case of as you were at the top of the Premier League with leaders Liverpool maintaining their one-point lead over Manchester City following victories for the title-chasing duo.
It was plain sailing for the Reds who thumped Watford 5-0 at Anfield but things were a little more difficult for City who edged past West Ham 1-0 at the Etihad.
City are 4-7 favourites with Sky Bet to secure successive league titles with Jurgen Klopp's men 11-8 with Hills to land their first championship since 1990.
Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk both scored twice for the leaders with Divock Origi bagging the other.
Sergio Aguero converted a contentious penalty for the Citizens to move one clear of Liverpool's Mo Salah in the Golden Boot race.
Aguero is on 18 goals for the campaign and is 11-8 favourite with Betfred to finish as the league's leading scorer, Salah is 9-4 with Betway and Hills and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a 7-1 shot with Betway after he took his tally to 16 with a goal in the Gunners' 5-1 win over Bournemouth.
It wasn't such a good night for Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham as they lost ground in the title race with a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.
Spurs are out to 175-1 with Betfair and Paddy Power to be crowned champions in May.
Mauricio Pochettino's men stay in third but are suddenly looking over their shoulders following successive defeats with Arsenal and Manchester United in hot pursuit and Champions League places up for grabs.
Spurs have been eased to 1-3 by Betway for a top-four finish with Arsenal 11-5 (Betfred) and Manchester United in to a general 6-5 after they beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park. Chelsea are 5-4 with Betfred.
Blues boss Maurizio Sarri remains 8-11 favourite with Sky Bet to be the next top-flight manager to leave his post, with Fulham's Claudio Ranieri next best at evens with the same firm.
Ranieri's side are 1-33 with Betway to go down after their 2-0 loss at Southampton left them ten points adrift of safety.
Saints leapfrogged Cardiff into 17th place with the victory and are out to 9-1 with Sky Bet to be relegated.
