Fickle bookies lose faith in Man United after Burnley shock

It seems that, like the proverbial Weeble, the bookies can't stop wobbling this season. One shock defeat to Burnley has sent Manchester United's price at Pinnacle Sports for winning the Premier League title out to 4.50 (7/2), with Chelsea now clear favourites with Blue Square at 2.60 (8/5).

Meanwhile there is talk of a "Hammers Hoodoo", with West Ham having won just two of their last seventeen meetings with Tottenham Hotspur. One has to fancy Spurs' chances again on their current form, and Bet365's 2.38 (11/8) seems an attractive offer - with or without their generous sign-up bonus! The more cautious might prefer Pinnacle's draw offer at 3.44 (61/25).

Unfortunately following their comprehensive demolition of Everton last week and their somewhat luckier brace of goals against Celtic in the Champions League, the sportsbooks aren't taking many chances on Arsenal, with the best price on offer being 1.20 (1/5) at Pinnacle. Those who believe in miracles can get an incredible 23.50 (45/2) at Redbet on Portsmouth to turn them over, or 7.50 (13/2), also at Redbet, for the draw.

Happy hunting.
