Manchester City want to celebrate another Premier League title on Sunday, and it looks very unlikely that Chelsea can stop them. Google gives Man City a 78% chance of winning with a draw coming in at 14%. A Chelsea win probability is only 8%. To quote Lloyd Christmas, “so you’re saying there’s a chance.”
The sports books have similar sentiment, with favorites City being priced at 1/5, a draw can be had at 5/1 while the underdogs Chelsea are valued at 12/1.
