Why are Chelsea only 1.61 to win the league when they are level with Man City?

better squad? esaier run in of games?

Quite a few factors. Chelsea pre-season favs, City play Chelsea away from home at the end of the month, Yaya Toure going to the African Cup of Nations so will be missing a while. City only one fully fit striker at the moment, although Dzecko and Aguero should be back soon.

I'd have Chelsea as favs but not by so much of a price difference.

I would have them as 1.8 shots as of now

chelsea have a softer run in but city have the better players. performed a minor miracle to be level hardly ever being able to field their best team whereas chelsea have had no real injury problems

weight of money already on chelsea

I agree the 1.61 is artificially short - Didi Hamann even tips Man U to finish above both them and MC in today's Racing Post!

he also said germany were in disarray and had no chance of winning the world cup

2 extra games against liverpool could really see them burn out. Like Arsenal when they were still a major factor in all competition post january.

yes absurd price in my book

remaining games vs top side

Chelsea
Home  Man City, ManUtd, Soton, Liverpool
Away Arsenal, West Ham, Swansea

Man City
Home Soton, Arsenal, West Ham
Away Chelsea, ManU, Spurs, Liverpool, Swansea

City have much harder away games to come

If Liverpool aint in the mix for CL places they could roll over for city...
they dont want to see chelsea win the league, because of what Jose did to them at anfield last season.

not level anymore
