Chelsea are the new favourites to win the Premier League title this season. That’s no surprise as they took a 3-1 win at title contenders man City on the weekend. William Hill have rated them now at 11/8 to win the Premier League title after yet another impressive performance which saw them win their eighth league game on the bounce and open up a three point lead at the top of the table from Arsenal.

Chelsea had been trailing 1-0 in the game through a Gary Cahill own goal but then they roused themselves for a second half comeback with fantastic break away goals from Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard to turn the game on its head. It was a fantastic game of football and City had had more than enough chances to open up a 2-0 lead in the game, but just couldn’t put the game away.

Manchester City who had Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho sent off at the end of the game had drifted out to 10/3 to win the Premier League title. Aguero saw red for a shocking tackle on David Luiz while Fernandino was dismissed for grabbing Cesc Fabregas by the throat and pushing him to the ground during the massive brawl at the end of the game.

So heading into the festive period Chelsea have some easier games lined up. They have proven themselves in their two tough recent tests against Spurs and Man City and now they have games West Brom (home), Sunderland (away), Crystal Palace (away), Bournemouth (home) and Stoke (home) to round off their 2016 league action with. William Hill are offering a price of 7/2 that Chelsea win all five of those games.

Manchester City have a tougher run of fixtures to close out the year with as they take on Leicester (away), Watford (home), Arsenal (home), Hull (away) and then Liverpool (away) on New Year’s’ Eve.
