Title 10-1 to be decided by goal difference

PEP GUARDIOLA is on the worst run of his managerial career and the winless streak is 9-5 with bet365 and Paddy Power to continue at West Brom on Saturday.

Not long ago there was talk of Manchester City going through the Premier League season unbeaten and chat of multiple trophy hauls, but now Guardiola’s side are six without a win in all competitions and already out of the EFL Cup following the last-16 derby defeat at Manchester United on Wednesday.

Don’t panic has been the message coming out from Guardiola ahead of the trip to the Hawthorns with the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss saying: “The players don’t deserve this. It will make us stronger in the future.”

Betway go 13-2 that Guardiola ends his winless sequence against Barcelona on Tuesday but it is 7-15 with 188bet for the Premier League leaders to land a victory against the Baggies.

It’s extremely tight at the top with five sides separated by just a solitary point and bet365 are 10-1 that the Premier League title is decided on goal difference.

Naming the champions at this stage is far from easy with City still favourites but they have drifted to 6-4 with Liverpool 7-2. Arsenal are 11-2, Chelsea can be backed at 13-2, while Tottenham and Manchester United are 11-1 and 20-1 respectively.

United have six points to make up on the co-leaders but will believe they are home bankers against Burnley at Old Trafford, while Arsenal are also a short price on their travels at Sunderland.

It’s been a woeful start to the campaign for Sunderland, who are bottom of the table and alongside Hull at 4-9 for the drop.

The Black Cats could do with a fillip and so too could beleaguered boss David Moyes, who is as low as 4-11 to be the next Premier League manager to leave his current position.

Moyes is a best-priced 10-11 with Coral and Paddy Power to be next out in a market which is 7-1 bar the odds-on favourite.

Aitor Karanka comes next on the list and Hull’s Mike Phelan is available at 10-1 with Betfair.
