Premier League Title Odds: Manchester City close the gap after Arsenal draw

February 19, 2026 at 10:19 am GMT+0

Manchester City are closing in on Arsenal in the latest odds to win the Premier League, after the Gunners slipped up on Wednesday night.

Mikel Arteta's side were held to a 2-2 draw by bottom club Wolves thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser, meaning they now have a five-point gap at the top of the league having played a game more.

City face Newcastle on Saturday evening as they look to close the gap, and the two sides are due to face each other in the league on April 18 so the league could look very different before long.

With City closing the gap at the top of the league and the odds shortening with sports betting sites, let's take a look at the latest football betting odds.
