Arsenal have shortened further in the betting lines to win their first Premier League title in more than two decades, with Mikel Arteta's side huge odds-on favourites at 1/6 according to Sky Bet.
It comes after the Gunners strengthened their lead atop the table on Saturday - albeit in a disappointing 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest.
However, they could afford a single point away from home after Manchester City were beaten 2-0 by cross-city rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford a few hours earlier.
As a result of their loss, City (43 points) are seven points adrift of league leaders Arsenal (50 points) - which is becoming an increasingly difficult deficit to make up as we approach the business end of the season.

That is evidenced in the market, with Manchester City widening to 9/2 odds to claim their fifth title in six seasons.
Although City struggled against United, this weekend could provide the Sky Blues a great opportunity to close the gap on Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola's side go head-to-head with last-placed team Wolves at the Etihad, while Arsenal host a United side riding high off the back of a blistering performance.
Meanwhile, for those tipping an outsider to win the league, Aston Villa are 50/1 third-favourites, while United and Liverpool are both 150/1.
Villa are third in the table on 43 points, while Liverpool (36 points) and United (35 points) are fourth and fifth in the table respectively.
Sky Bet favourites to win the Premier League title:
Arsenal 1/6
Manchester City 9/2
Aston Villa 50/1
Manchester United 150/1
Liverpool 150/1
