So how many times do you think you could back Arsenal at odds-against to win in the Premiership last season? The staggering answer is just four matches. In fact, apart from the evens available in one place about the Gunners for their high-octane Highbury clash with Manchester United, Arsenal actually started odds-on for every home game they played in the Premiership last season. Make no mistake - the gulf in class between the top three sides in England and the rest is getting bigger all the time.

From a betting point of view, the dominance of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea isn't good news.
