It was another absorbing weekend of Premier League football.The spotlight remains firmly on Manchester United boss Michael Carrick following the setback at Chelsea and he will know a much-improved performance is required when Roma visit Old Trafford in the Champions League tomorrow night.Elsewhere, it was a great weekend for Arsenal, who strengthened their title claims with a 1-0 victory against Liverpool, and surprise-package Brighton following their victory at Manchester City.Here, we look at the implications of the weekend results in the Monday Book Club (with all odds supplied by bet365 and correct as of 1pm on Monday, November 2).Odds cut on Manchester United to go downManchester United are now their lowest-ever price to be relegated in the Premier League era.Bet365 have reduced Uniteds odds to 14/1 to go down this season after a woeful run of form that has seen them slip to 17th, outside the bottom three on goal difference only.Saturdays 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge was their seventh league game on the trot without a win and that run extends to nine games if you include cup competitions.Despite their dreadful form, the bookmakers still dont have them as one of the three favourites to go down.Those places are occupied by Hull, Coventry and Manchester City, on the understanding Citys appeal against a judgement that saw them found guilty of over 100 breaches of financial regulations is thrown out and they are handed a major points deduction.Indeed, United are 11th in line to go down, according to 365, with Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Everton all shorter prices to be playing in the Championship next term.Relegation odds Premier League 2026/27Hull 4/5Coventry 5/6Manchester City 10/11Sunderland 6/4Crystal Palace 7/4Ipswich 9/4Fulham 5/1Nottingham Forest 11/2Newcastle 10/1Everton 12/1Manchester United 14/1Arsenal odds on to retain titleArsenal went into the weekend accompanied by a narrative that suggested Liverpool would end up being their main title rivals this season.The uncertainty around Manchester City has cast a doubt over their challenge and a Liverpool win at Anfield yesterday would have moved Andoni Iraolas side within three points of the Gunners.As it was, Kai Havertzs first-half goal and some stoic defending saw Arsenal win 1-0 and Liverpool drift in the title betting.Indeed, if you discount City then Brighton are now tipped to offer Mikel Arteta and his squad the biggest headache following their brilliant 1-0 victory at the Etihad.Title odds Premier League 2026/27Arsenal 1/3Manchester City 7/1Brighton 12/1Liverpool 14/1Chelsea 22/1Rice masterclass sees him remain closest challenger to HaalandAlthough Arsenals back four will get the plaudits for their display at Anfield, Declan Rice showed again why he is widely regarded as the best holding midfielder in the Premier League with a superb performance.The England international provided brilliant protection for the defence with a series of combative challenges and also burst forward after 16 minutes to slide a superb cross along the Liverpool six-yard box that was gratefully converted by Kai Havertz.It was the kind of pass that helped Bruno Fernandes win the PFA Player of the Year award last season.Rice is second favourite to follow Fernandes and lift the trophy behind the Premier Leagues current top goalscorer Erling Haaland.PFA Player of the Year 2026/27 odds:Erling Haaland 2/1Declan Rice 9/2Martin Odegaard 7/1Cole Palmer 9/1Rayan Cherki 9/1Bruno Fernandes 16/1Reasons to play with bet365You can find all the above markets at bet365, the UKs most trusted bookmaker.As part of their We Know Betting campaign, they have introduced Reasons that demonstrate their excellence.Reason #69 is played by millions a point demonstrated by their prominence in the market.Responsible GamblingIt is important that when using any bookmaker and placing bets online, you practice responsible gambling habits wherever possible.
