SkyBet sportsbook have shortened Manchester City’s Premier League betting odds to win this season’s Premier League to 7,50 from 10,00 after City recorded a convincing 4-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Roberto Mancini’s men sit atop of the Premier League for a few hours
at least, one point clear of city rivals
Manchester United, albeit
United have three games in hand.
A Mario Balotelli hat-trick and Joleon Lescott’s headed goal will
bring fresh optimism to the City fans – something which can’t be said
of the Aston Villa support, who chanted for Sam Allardyce to take the
hotseat.
The result leaves Villa in 15th, just two points from the bottom
three. Gerard Houllier’s betting odds to be the next Premier League
managerial casualty have shortened from 8,00 to 5,00, while Mark Hughes – whose Fulham side won 2-0 at Stoke – has seen his betting odds to be next Premier League manager to go drift from 5,00 to 6,50.
