Matchweek 2 of the Premier League saw very few true upsets in terms of results, and as such the odds are relatively unchanged, getting a little bit shorter for the frontrunners like Manchester City and Arsenal.
Chelsea were our biggest mover again, who after opening day disappointment, put six past Wolves, seeing their odds shrink from 40/1, back down to 25/1. Of course, there are still tonnes of matches left, as just one loss for any side could change their fortunes massively.

Man City @ 6/5
The champions have been drifting either side of evens since the betting for the new season opened, which is understandable considering they have won six of the last seven titles.
Their squad is as strong as ever with few departures, and the mainstays of Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and Ederson all remain, hoping to lead them to victory again.
There is a degree of uncertainty over their chances due to the FFP/profit and sustainability charges hanging over them, but that's for the lawyers and City still look to be the ones to beat on the field.
Two wins from two is nothing short of what City and their fans would have expected particularly as they faced Ipswich last time out. The newly promoted side may have scored first, but a Haaland hat trick got the champs back on track.
Little seems to be able to stand in the Citizens' way, who will be eying the title once more.
Arsenal @ 13/8
Arsenal made another serious challenge for the title and this time it was more sustained after dropping off in 2022/23.
Being in a position to win the league going into the final day was a marked improvement, but they still fell short, although it was due more to City's brilliance than their own shortcomings.
They have also signed Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna and, if City falter, the Gunners could be next in line.
The prime cause of this could well be the impending FFP deduction from City, and should this occur, Mikel Arteta’s men will be there to pick up the pieces.
Arsenal faced a tougher test this time around, passing with flying colours, as they dispatched Aston Villa on their own turf, a task that proved too much for them last term.
The Gunners have looked impeccable to this point, not even conceding a goal yet, but of course on bad result could swing things out of their favour, with City showing no sign of slowing.
Liverpool @ 13/2
Klopp's departure ushers in a new era at Liverpool and Dutchman Arne Slot is already putting his stamp on the side.
Mohamed Salah has been linked with an exit but looked primed for the new campaign and has come back into the side with goals in abundance.
Other clubs have struggled in the immediate seasons after a legendary manager’s exit and patience could be the betting play with the Reds as they settle in after Slot's appointment.
However, a few landmark signings are turning the fans sour slightly, used to Klopp's pull being enough, and we must remember Slot, may be proving himself, but is still an unknown right now.
Victories over Ipswich and Brentford are unlikely to offer us major insight into their true quality, yet they have looked impressive, but time will tell if they have the bottle to stand up to the big guns.
Chelsea @25/1
Chelsea’s saw their odds slip massively after an opening day loss to City, but a resounding victory over Wolves saw their odds come crashing back in.
They looked impressive in this outing with Noni Madueke getting a second-half hat trick as well, but this of course cannot always be relied upon.
Enzo Maresca's time at the helm hasn’t gone all that terribly so far, but they need to prove their ability to knock off the big boys, as without this they will have no chance of challenging for the title.
Presently they sit three points back in the pace, not adrift, this early in the season, but they will need to capitalise upon any mistakes made by the likes of City and Arsenal in a big way to challenge properly.
Tottenham @ 28/1
Spurs have been floated as potential title challengers for years now, and many consider Ange Postecoglou the future of the North London club, yet the distinct lack of an out-and-out striker still looks to hurt them.
Without Heung-Min Son, Tottenham looked listless up front, as Richarlison is unlikely to win them any major accolades.
With little major signings, or movement from many other clubs it is hard to see Spurs seriously making a push for the title, but stranger things have happened.
Tottenham got back to their best against Everton last weekend, putting four past what looked a truly dismal Toffees side, yet one victory does not make a side, and they will need to do a lot more over the coming weeks in order to mount a charge.

How Does Premier League Winner Betting Work?
Betting on which team is going to win the Premier League is extremely popular in the UK and is easy to understand.
You are simply betting on who is going to finish first in the Premier League and lift the trophy this season.
Winning bets are paid out either on the final day of the season, when the league standings have been finalised, or when the team at the top have mathematically secured the title.
That means no other team can catch them or take the top position away from them due to the amount of games remaining and, in turn, the number of points that can be won.
It is a simple and fun way of betting on the outcome of the Premier League and can sometimes return major profits. In 2016, when Leicester claimed a shock title triumph, one bettor secured a memorable payout having backed the Foxes at odds of 5000/1.
