Impressive City go odds-on with most layers

THREE games into the season and already we have odds-on favourites to win the Premier League with most bookmakers after Manchester City continued their fantastic start with a 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.

City had to be patient, but they fully deserved the win thanks to second-half goals from Aleksandar Kolarov and substitute Samir Nasri as Manuel Pellegrini’s outfit moved top of the table.

Paddy Power are prepared to lay City at evens, although the market-leaders are as short as 5-6 elsewhere and looking strong in their quest to regain the title.

Betway go 5-2 that City win their next four league matches – Watford (home),  Crystal Palace (away), West Ham (home) and Tottenham (away) – and bet365 offer 80-1 for the leaders to go through the top-flight campaign unbeaten.

Chelsea, 10-3 to retain the title, won their first match of the season with a nervy 3-2 triumph at West Brom.

Jose Mourinho’s men looked in control until skipper John Terry’s red card set up a grandstand finish with Chelsea standing firm against a Baggies side missing unsettled striker Saido Berahino.

New signing Pedro broke the deadlock and he then assisted Diego Costa to make it two before James Morrison, who had earlier seen a penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois, halved the deficit.

Cesar Azpilicueta doubled Chelsea’s advantage and Morrison notched again against the ten men, who held firm despite  late home pressure.

Pedro claimed the man-of-the-match award and is 5-6 with bet365 to reach ten Premier League goals this season.

Watford and Southampton played out a goalless stalemate at Vicarage Road.
