United First, Chelsea Second, Arsenal Third?

With Manchester United and Chelsea looking to have the Premiership title race to themselves, William Hill have opened a book on who will finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the division at the end of the season, and reckon that the favourite combination is United first, Chelsea second and Arsenal third - which they quote at 11/4.

William Hill then offer 3/1 Chelsea - United- Arsenal; 7/2 United - Chelsea- Liverpool; 4/1 Chelsea - United- Liverpool; 10/1 United - Chelsea - Spurs; 12/1 Chelsea- United- Spurs; 20/1 United - Chelsea- Portsmouth; 25/1 Chelsea- United - Portsmouth. They offer 4/1 that it will be any combination other than those quoted.

"With the Premiership title contest looking increasingly like a two horse race we have decided to spice it up a little by allowing customers to speculate on the one, two, three outcome, allowing them to express their opinion on the United - Chelsea battle, combined with the struggle to finish third" said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
