LEICESTER CITY BECOME BOOKMAKERS’ FAVOURITE TO WIN PREMIER LEAGUE AFTER BEATING MANCHESTER CITY

Leicester City have been named as several
bookmakers’ favourites to win the Premier
League after beating Manchester City 3-1 at
the Etihad Stadium.
It is the first time that Leicester have been
named favourites to win the league outright
and those who backed them at the start of
the season could find themselves very rich
come May.
Sky Bet, Bet365, Coral and William Hill all
slashed their odds on the Foxes winning
their first Premier League title minutes after
the full-time whistle was blown in
Manchester.

The most commonly offered odds for that to
happen are 7/4 – a far cry from the 5000/1
some punters were offered in mid-August.
Arsenal, who don’t play until Sunday against
Bournemouth at the Emirates, can be
backed at 3/1 by Coral, while Tottenham are
at 11/2.
‘After being as big as 5000-1 at the start of
the season, Leicester are the new favourites
to win the Premier League title in what
would be an incredible story if they were to
lift the trophy,’ said Coral’s John Hill.
