The bookies currently fancy Big Phil’s men over Man Utd

Earlier in the summer, Manchester Utd were leading the Premiership betting race by a country mile, yet all this talk of unsettled wingers, mystery viruses and Rio Ferdinand’s rapping debut have put them slightly behind those rich chaps from West London. Chelsea currently sit at 1.86/1, Manchester Utd at 2/1, Arsenal at 5.2/1 and Liverpool at 6.8/1.
