With Chelsea no longer undefeated and looking like they could drop a few more points as the season goes on (particularly when the weight of the European mid-week fixtures hits in March/April), Manchester City and Manchester United will both be trying to get through the Christmas season without dropping a point in order to keep pressure on the Blues.

Chelsea were as low as 1.12 to win the Premier League title just two weeks ago prior to losing out to Newcastle United. Nowadays, you’ll find them priced as the 1.44 favourites with plenty of extra value now included in that price if you still fancy Jose Mourinho’s men to go all the way here.
With Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa really having breathed new life in the Blues over the summer, they will fancy their chances of being able to pull off the Premier League win - though you definitely get the feeling that the supposed priority for Jose Mourinho is still Roman Abramovich’s pursuit of the Champions League (even if he won’t admit it to the media during an interview).
Manchester City, to their credit, performed just fine without the services of Sergui Aguero - who has been such an integral part of their season so far. He has a tendency to score from nowhere when the team needs it most and he still is looking at around 4-5 weeks off before he’ll be able to return.
If City can keep things moving forward for themselves throughout the holidays then they could be well-poised for him to help them kick on and take some points from Chelsea during the second half of the season. As it currently stands, punters will find Chelsea trading at a 3.20 margin.
Manchester United were a full 33.0 to win the Premier League just a few short weeks ago and thanks to the incredible run of form from Louis Van Gaal’s men that has seen them rattle of six victories on the bounce, the Red Devils now trade as low as 13.0 to miraculously pull off a Premier League victory.
