Red Devils now title favourites

Sky Bet make Manchester United their favourites ahead of Manchester City for the Premier League title after Super Sunday's action. Sir Alex Ferguson's men have been cut from 9/5 to 6/4 to regain the title following their 2-1 win at Liverpool, while City's odds of retaining the title drifted from 6/4 to 7/4 after being held 1-1 by Arsenal, their third draw of the season. The Gunners' impressive form has seen them come in from the 25/1 available following their back-to-back stalemates at the start of the season to 8/1, while Liverpool have drifted out to 100/1 as they remain winless in the league under Brendan Rodgers. Early front-runners Chelsea have been cut from 4/1 to 7/2 after notching up another win on Saturday, beating Stoke 1-0, while Tottenham have come in from 66/1 to 50/1 with back-to-back victories following a difficult start under Andre Villas-Boas. Sky Bet Football Trader Chris Spicer said: "It's all change at the top already with north London neighbours Arsenal and Tottenham finding their form after tough starts, while Chelsea have arguably been the most impressive. "However, it is Manchester United who we now hold in highest regard, with their frontline as good as any around, while they still hold the superior experience over their neighbours, despite City's success last season."
