Sports Betting Fans May Find Value In Manchester City

Chelsea are the favourites to win the Premier League.

Manchester City's summer spending spree continued over the weekend with the purchase of Serbian left-back Aleksandar Kolarov - and sports betting fans may now wish to back the Blues for the Premier League title.

Bookmakers 888sport.com has installed Roberto Mancini's men as 5/1 third-favourites to secure the league crown.

Kolarov's signing from Lazio follows those of the likes of Spain and Valencia's David Silva and Barcelona's Yaya Toure.

Reigning champions Chelsea are the favoruites to retain their trophy, priced at odds of 6/4, while City's Manchester neighbours United are 5/2.

Those who would like to place a wager on a slightly longer shot could find value in the 13/2 on offer from the bookmakers for Arsenal to triumph, while Liverpool are 14/1 to be champions under Roy Hodgson.

The Merseyside club and rivals Manchester United are currently tied on the most league titles in English football history, with 19 each.
