Liverpool odds-on favourites in title race after Premier League development
Liverpool are odds-on favourites for the Premier League title after the 2-0 win over Brentford on Saturday.
The Reds were on their way to a draw at the Gtech Stadium on 18 January before a late Darwin Nunez brace secured victory.
After Arsenal dropped points in the late game, the Reds are 2/9 favorites with Bet Victor to win the league title in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield.
The Gunners are second favourites at odds of 4/1 while Manchester City and Nottingham Forest are outsiders at 25/1 and 33/1 respectively.
Liverpool have momentum in title race
Before the 90-minute mark, Arsenal supporters thought they were heading for a dream weekend as the Reds were being held by the Bees.
However, Darwin Nunez would ensure that Slot’s side came away with all three points in a tough away fixture to arrest a run of two draws in the league.
The evening would get even better for Reds supporters when the Gunners let a two-goal lead slip and succumbed to a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.
That result leaves the Merseysiders in pole position for the league title with a six-point lead and a game in hand against local rivals Everton.
The bookmakers certainly think they will go and top the table when it comes to a conclusion with such short odds placed on the Anfield outfit.
It would be a remarkable first season for Slot if his side wins the league in his first campaign in charge and they are in a great position to do so.
