LIVERPOOL are out to 7/1, from 9/2, to win the Premiership after their home defeat against Aston Villa heaped more misery on the ailing side.

The title hopefuls are 11/4 to miss out on a top four spot, whilst boss Rafa Benitez- the subject of quit rumours last week- is 7/1 to be the next manager to go.

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg: “Liverpool’s start has significantly undermined the club’s chances of ending their title drought. At present, they look the most vulnerable of the big four.

Chelsea are 11/8 favourites to take Manchester United’s (5/2) crown.
