The 2023 Premier League table and championship picture took shape following Wednesday’s Arsenal-Manchester City clash. The two teams entered the highly-anticipated tilt as the top two teams in the league, and Machester City seemingly moved into the driver’s seat after pulling through with the victory. The latest Premier League championship odds show Manchester City (-200 on DraftKings) has taken over as a heavy favorite.
Manchester City Now Heavy Favorite in Premier League Odds
Per DraftKings:
The Arsenal-Manchester City game was all knotted up at one apiece at halftime after Arsenal was awarded a controversial penalty in the final five minutes of the half. Thanks to goals by Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland in the second half, the Blues were able to pull off the 3-1 victory, moving into a tie with Arsenal for first place in the Premier League at 51 points.
Manchester City, a two-time defending Premier League champion, has had some bumps along the road as the favorites to win the Premier League this season. But their performance on Wednesday (especially in the second half) proved their dominance in a pivotal game.
"The game is decided in the boxes and we were not sharp enough, in front of the goal and in our own as well. They were better. Apart from that, we played a good game, did many good things and had many good periods, but we have to be better in the boxes," Arsenal boss Martin Odegaard said after the match, per The Athletic.
The next time Arsenal-Manchester City face off against each other will be in April at Etihad Stadium. The Gunners feel like they let a golden opportunity to pick up sports go to waste on Wednesday. The latest Premier League odds show that Odegaard's group is going to have a tall mountain to climb in order to keep Manchester City from winning their third straight trophy.
