Considering we are only 6 weeks away to the end of season and the current odds is quite good but as you said that city bettors got very good odds when they were picking city when it was in the third place. It's unlikely the standing will change probably till the last match. Im doubting arsenal this time.
As you said that if the current odds is very tempting to bet on it. I consider that city has the easiest fixtures compared to the opponents. Those who bet on liverpool may be losing their money.
I'm not sure that many people bet on City when they were in third place (unless they were hedging bets) since it's one thing when you're behind one team and there's a head-to-head match ahead, then yes, you can bet on the potentially strongest the team, even if it is temporarily behind, they have a chance to fix everything. But in the situation with City everything was much worse - they were behind two teams and there were no more head-to-head matches in hand, it looked like losing the race, but unfortunately in one round everything turned upside down.
Maybe now Manchester City is behind on points and is back in the top 3 but they still have 1 match to finish week 33.
Their next opponent is Brighton and of course this is match that Manchester City can win and return to the top of the standings like before, do we remember last season?
Manchester City was also left behind but at the end of the competition period they managed to achieve consecutive wins and win the Premier League title, the opportunity for Manchester City to do the same again is wide open.
I remain confident and confident in Manchester City that they will get satisfactory results and defend the Premier League title again this season.
