Things are very close at the top of the Premier League and William Hill are offering 5/6 that Manchester City sit atop the table come the end of this round of fixtures (the same price for United to be top on Sunday evening). Hills also go 12/1 that the two Manchester sides finish the season on the same amount of points.

It is not just tight at the top with at least five sides caught in the dogfight at the foot of the table and Hills think that the magic 40 point mark may not be necessary this season, offering 5/4 that the 17th placed side in the Premier League finishes with either 37, 38 or 39 points.

How many points will the winner of the Premier League have: 10/3 90 or more; 11/4 87-89; 11/4 85-86; 4/1 83-84; 5/1 81-82; 9/1 80 or less

How many points will 17th place in the Premier League have come the end of the season: 2/1 40 or more; 5/4 37-39; 5/2 34-36; 10/1 33 or less

Who will be top of the league on Monday 6th February: 5/6 Manchester Utd; 5/6 Manchester City

Who will be fifth on Tuesday 7th February: 1/1 Newcastle; 2/1 Liverpool; 5/2 Arsenal

“The draw has happened in such a way that the maximum number possible of Premier League sides can make it through to the quarters and at 5/1 it could well be possible,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Manchester City head to Everton hoping to maintain their challenge for a maiden Premier League title and Hills make the Blues 2/5 to lift the trophy at the end of the season. Hills are also offering 4/7 that City boss, Mancini, leaves his position before David Moyes does (5/4 to do vice versa).

“Should Manchester City throw away their dominant position at the head of the Premier League Mancini may well vacate his position, while David Moyes enjoys God-like status on the blue half of Merseyside and would surely only leave of his own volition,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
