English Premier League Latest Betting Update PT 1

Now that the action has concluded for yet another weekend it appears as though Chelsea have taken another big step towards securing an English Premier League title. With a victory on Sunday over an upstart Hull City, the Blues were able to channel a pair of goals from their accomplished side as they went clear over the league by a full 8 point margin - level on games with the rest of the entire Premier League.

As Gary Cahill's header burst the back of the net from that setpiece, the Chelsea faithful went bonkers- seemingly congniscent of the larger ramifications of the victory they had put together.

This comes on the heels of a number of the chasing pack either leaving it extremely late or dropping their points entirely. Arsenal have now moved into the second place position with a slim 1 point lead over Spurs who are also boasting a slim 1 point lead over Liverpool to round out the Champions League positions.

Manchester City were held to a 2-2 draw by Spurs in a match-up that proved to be excellent watching for the neutral fan but a tough pill to swallow for supporters of either side. Both were in desperate need of all three points against a Champions League rival and they will look at this as an opportunity missed – City in particular.

Blowing a 2-0 lead is a harsh way to kick off this portion of the season and City look like they have already resigned themselves to not securing another league title this season. Their cross-town rivals Manchester United were able to pull off a difficult 1-1 draw with Stoke City – who continue to go from strength to strength lately – with a classic Fergie Time leveller from Wayne Rooney.
