The Premier League title market has developed a clear hierarchy, with defending champion Arsenal and Manchester City separating themselves from the rest of the field.
Arsenal are now -144 favorites at DraftKings, while Manchester City are the only other club shorter than +1000 at +225. After that, there's a massive jump to Chelsea at +1400, with Liverpool (+3000) and Manchester United (+5000) even further off the pace.
With the market increasingly treating this as a battle between two clubs, let's break down the latest Premier League odds and whether there's still value backing the favorites or looking further down the board.

Market snapshot
The gap between the Premier League's top two and everyone else has become impossible to ignore. Arsenal are -144 favorites to defend their title, while Manchester City sit at +225. The next-shortest price belongs to Chelsea at a distant +1400.
That means bettors looking to oppose Arsenal aren't being given many realistic alternatives. City are the obvious challenger, but their +225 price offers nowhere near the potential payout available further down the board. Chelsea are more than six times City's price at +1400, while Liverpool (+3000) and Manchester United (+5000) are already being treated as significant long shots.
Arsenal's -144 price is the most interesting number on the board. The Gunners may deserve to be favorites, but bettors are now being asked to risk $144 to win $100 on a title race with most of the season still to play. At that price, there's little room for Arsenal to stumble, making Manchester City the clearest alternative for anyone unwilling to pay the growing premium on the defending champions.
