Today saw another big move in the odds to win the Premier League as Manchester United extended their lead over Manchester City to 7 points with their last gasp win over Newcastle United at Old Trafford. And while they were doing that, Manchester City's title hopes faded again with defeat at Sunderland.
The best price with a small selection of online bookmakers for United is now 2/5 favourites, and City are 2nd favourites at around 4/1 now. The biggest mover of all seems to be Chelsea who are now available at between 6 and 8/1. While Arsenal are available at a token 80/1.
With the fact that United generally get stronger after Christmas, it's hard too see City catching them. But they still keep going behind in games, and I keep asking myself can they keep coming back and winning from losing positions? And at the moment, the answer is yes.
But the other factor in this, is that City don't look capable of putting a run together. In a way, United could be there for the taking if they keep conceding like they have been, but City look incapable of catching them.
So could Chelsea be dark horses? My immediate answer to that question would be no, but if they make a couple of decent January signings, then who knows.
Realistically though, they would surely need to go unbeaten for the rest of the season and would need to put an outstanding run of about 10 or 11 wins together, in their next 12 games to stand any chance.
It's a tall order, but stupider things have happened.

Premier League relegation odds
Aston Villa's short lived revival came to a more than abrupt ending today with their (narrow) 8-0 defeat at Chelsea. They were on the back of a good run by their standards, but today's thrashing has seen them come back in to a best price of 9/2 to be relegated, with Ladbrokes.
There is a bit of a so called reverse 'Big 4' in the relegation stakes, with Reading, QPR, Southampton and Wigan cut adrift with the layers.
Reading are a best price of 1/7 and as short as 1/11 with some online bookmakers while QPR are 8/13. The bookmakers seem to think they are both already gone.
With Wigan and Southampton, the odds are a bit more competitive. Southampton are 3rd favourites at 5/6 with most online layers, and Wigan are a stand out price of 6/4 with BetVictor, and between Evens and 11/8 with most of the rest of the field.
Villa look to represent value at the moment. Despite their good run lately, I still think they are in danger as they have such a young inexperienced side. In my view they are only a long term injury for Christian Benteke away from being in serious relegation trouble.

Next Manager to be sacked
Brian McDermott still finds himself as the favourite to be the next manager sacked in the premier league. He is 5/4 favourite with BetVictor and is 6/5 with Skybet. Martin O'Neill is second favourite and is out at 11/2 with some online bookmakers after Saturday's 1-0 win over Southampton.
Over the past few weeks this market has seen Nigel Adkins, Martin O'Neill and Brian McDermott all backed in to favourites, and all trade in to around the Even money mark, meaning another result for the online bookmakers.
Amazingly (for me anyway), Arsene Wenger was third favourite a couple of weeks back, he is now out to 16/1 on the back of three straight premier league victories.
Nigel Adkins is another manager to drift in the betting on the back of a decent run of results. He was favourite a few short weeks back, and he is now out at sixth favourite at 20/1, longer odds than both Wenger and Roberto Mancini, when only 3 to 4 weeks back, he was around Even money favourite.
Just goes to show the fickle nature of this particular market.
