PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE BETTING UPDATE
When Chelsea lost to Manchester City in Saturday’s early kick-off it looked as though the chasing pack had been given the opportunity that they craved to close the gap on the rampant champions. However, Arsenal and then Manchester United both conspired to waste the opportunity and leave The Blues secure in the driving seat for the Premier League title race.
Having drifted to odds against prices in the aftermath of the City defeat both Arsenal and Manchester United’s inability to pick up maximum points means that Carlo Ancelotti’s men are now a best price of 10/11 with Betfair. Chelsea and Arsenal go head to head this coming weekend, should Arsenal slip up again then they will be seven points behind their opponents by the end of play and facing an uphill battle even at this early stage of the season.
In golf, Jim Furyk won the Tour Championship and $10million prize money for claiming the FedEx cup at the weekend in what was the ideal preparation for this weekend’s Ryder Cup. The European team’s only representative in the event was Luke Donald who finished in second place just one shot behind Furyk.
Both players will now fly to the UK and travel to Celtic Manor Resort Wales for the 38th staging of the biennial event. All players from both teams have been banned from using social networking site Twitter until the conclusion of the event, so don’t be expecting any updates from the likes of Ian Poulter over the next seven days.
Europe can be backed at a best price of 7/10 with Paddy power to regain the Ryder Cup courtesy of an overall win in Wales, USA are 6/4 to regain the trophy whilst it is 11/1 that the clash ends in a tie.
