After five games of the Premier League season, Manchester City looked to be running away with the title, but back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Tottenham have seen the team’s odds drift in the futures market in Las Vegas.
At one point, City’s odds were as short as 4-to-11 at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, after beginning the season as the 5-to-2 second favorite behind defending champion Chelsea, but the same betting shop now prices City at 10-to-11.
Those two defeats have allowed others to close the gap on Manuel Pellegrini's side, and Arsenal are now 7-to-2 second favorites in Vegas, just ahead of 4-to-1 Manchester United, who moved to the top of the table after its 3-0 win over rock-bottom Sunderland.

The Gunners had a high-scoring win of their own, ending Leicester City's unbeaten run with a 5-2 victory at the King Power Stadium, and Arsene Wenger's men now sit in fourth position, three points behind United.
Pre-season favorite Chelsea, which was very popular before the campaign got underway, continued to struggle with its domestic form, picking up just a point from its trip to St James' Park.
They were lucky to escape with that, given Newcastle held a 2-0 lead going into the final 11 minutes of the match. The Blues are 7-to-1 to turn around their poor start to the season and retain their title.
