The changes begin there and there’s a new second-favorite side, as Liverpool is now favored to be the closest challenger to Man City. The Reds’ odds have improved by 675 (+225), while Arsenal’s have improved a bit (+650).
Spurs have moved from sixth-best odds to fifth, while Aston Villa has shot up the table to fourth after sitting at +20000 earlier this season.
