Ancelotti's Chelsea have won all three of their league games so far

Sports betting firms install Chelsea at the top of the Premier League market.

Chelsea have been installed as the bookmakers' favourites to win the Premier League following an impressive start to the season from Carlo Ancelotti's side.

A 2-0 win over local rivals Fulham on Sunday (August 23rd) saw the west London outfit maintain their 100 per cent record with a third straight victory, while potential title rivals Manchester United and Liverpool have already tasted defeat.

Paddy Power makes Chelsea 6/4 to lift the Premier League title next May, with United currently priced at 3/1 and Liverpool a 9/2 bet, while Arsenal can be backed at 5/1.

Meanwhile, William Hill is offering 20/1 on Chelsea remaining unbeaten for the rest of the season and Arsenal, who have also made a perfect start with two emphatic wins from two games, can be backed at 33/1 to avoid defeat for the rest of the campaign.

Despite their surprise victories over Manchester United and Everton, Burnley remain odds-on for relegation with sports betting firms.

Ladbrokes offers 8/11 on the Lancashire side going down, with Portsmouth priced at 8/13 and Hull available at 4/5.
