William Hill are offering odds of 11/4 that Chelsea do not lose another Premiership match this season - but they make them 6/4 to lose one more; 5/2 two more and 5/1 to lose at least three more.

And with Chelsea now 1/9 favourites for the title, (Arsenal and Man U are both 8/1) Hills have opened a book excluding them from the race and make Manchester United 10/11 favourites with Arsenal Even money, Everton 14/1; Liverpool 25/1; Middlesbro 100/1.

'A few years ago in the days of betting tax we would probably have closed the book on the Premiership title as at the current odds it would have been impossible to make a profit by backing them, but even though they seem absolute certainties at the moment it is worth remembering that both Newcastle and Arsenal have squandered similar leads in the past.' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills now offer Chelsea at 14/1 for the fourfold, while Arsenal are now 1/6 to win nothing this season.
