Review
The loss of Kevin De Bruyne to injury hasn't had an impact on Manchester City's title odds, as Manuel Pellegrini's men still check in as the favourites to win this year's title.
A single Sergio Aguero goal was enough to see City past Sunderland, and while the team hardly impressed in the win, they kept the gap with Leicester City at just three points. Both sides will meet in Week 25 for what should be a major clash in the title race.
Aguero knows the weeks ahead will be key for the Citizens:
Leicester made a big statement in Week 24, beating Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 2-0 thanks to a brace from Jamie Vardy. Well past the halfway stage of the season, it has become impossible to ignore the Foxes' strong form, and the oddsmakers are following suit.
With Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, Leicester City boast two of the most productive players in the Premier League, and Shinji Okazaki looked as busy as ever against the Reds. The trio will be tested against City's vaunted defence, and the Week 25 clash will go a long way to determining whether they're of title-winning quality.
Sandwiched in between those two sides are Arsenal, who find themselves in fourth place in the standings after four straight matches without a win.
Arsene Wenger's troops have struggled for creativity and goals in 2016, and with a UEFA Champions League clash against Barcelona on the horizon, that's a major concern. The good news is Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are both healthy, and when the latter finds his best form, he'll add much to the team's attack.
None of the teams playing on Wednesday were able to grab a result that had much influence on their odds. Everton did well to beat Newcastle United 3-0, but that's what was supposed to happen. Along the way, Romelu Lukaku suffered a back injury that could hold him back the coming weeks, and the Toffees are undoubtedly a better team with the Belgian in their ranks.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continue to struggle, and a scoreless draw against Watford won't get them anywhere. Per ESPN FC's Paul Carr, you can't expect to contend if you're unable to put together any run of results:
While Leicester remain the feel-good story of the season, Tottenham Hotspur's solid form makes them arguably the most intriguing squad in the top four. In Harry Kane and Dele Alli, they field two young difference-makers who have really stood out in recent weeks, to go with a standout defence.
Younger players tend to drift in and out of matches and can struggle with bouts of inconsistency, and Spurs' recipe of leaning on these kind of players to grab results is incredibly risky. But so far, it's paying off greatly, and it's hard to argue with success.
Mauricio Pochettino's men may boast more raw quality than Leicester, but given the age of their main difference-makers, the oddsmakers' decision to hand the Foxes slightly better odds is probably fair.
City remain the go-to option for punters looking for security, however, while the Gunners aren't too far behind.
