Arsenal are now 1/4 with BOYLE Sports in the Premier League outright odds after strengthening their quest to be crowned English champions for the first time since 2004.
The Gunners may have been held at home by Liverpool last Thursday, but they are now six points clear at the summit with 17 games left after seeing their nearest challengers hit some bumps in the road.
Man City
Man City
Second-placed Man City thrashed Exeter 10-1 in the FA Cup on Saturday, but they have drawn all three of their league matches in 2026 - having finished 2025 on a six-game winning streak - and their odds of finishing top are now 7/2.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa
Aston Villa are the only other team seemingly in with a chance of overhauling the Gunners, but they are 22/1 outsiders.
Villa are level on 43 points with City, but their 4-1 defeat at Arsenal on December 30, having gone to the Emirates on an 11-match winning streak, was a major setback, and they have since dropped points at Crystal Palace as well.
Unai Emery’s men cannot be completely discounted, not least because they have already played Arsenal twice now and boast a formidable home record with 11 successive wins at Villa Park.

But the Gunners are showing little sign of slowing up and, with huge strength in depth in their squad, the title looks theirs to lose.
Boss Mikel Arteta said following the Liverpool draw: “The boys deserve massive praise for what they've done in this Christmas period, to get the results and the performances consistently in the manner that we've done it, to come out from this period in a really strong position.
“You see how tough it is for every team.”
Liverpool
Liverpool
Champions Liverpool are fourth but a massive 14 points adrift of the leaders and are now 100/1 to retain their title. You can get odds of 8/1 if you think Arne Slot's men can make up the eight-point gap to City and Villa and finish runners-up.
Chelsea and Manchester United will be under new management for the rest of the season, and if you fancy a turnaround of epic proportions from either side, you can get 500/1 for one of them to win the title.

Elsewhere, in-form Brentford - who are just two points behind Liverpool in fifth - are 800/1 to be crowned champions, but you can get 16/1 for them to finish in the top four, with Newcastle and Manchester United rated 5/1 for the same achievement.
