Pep Guardiola's men headed to White Hart Lane defending a perfect six from six record but suffered a 2-0 reverse and are trading at 10/11 from 8/13 with Sky Bet for the title.

City still remain top of the table but Spurs are just one point behind and Mauricio Pochettino's outfit have seen their odds cut by Sky Bet to 8/1 from 16/1.

Arsenal are also movers in a positive direction with the Gunners at 6/1 (from 8/1) following their late success at Burnley.

Arsene Wenger's side seemed on the verge of settling for a draw at Turf Moor but they scrambled home a dramatic late winner to prevail 1-0 and sit in third place two points behind City.

Reigning champions Leicester were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Southampton and are out to 500/1 to defend their title as Liverpool hold second favouritism at 4/1 after they defeated Swansea 2-1 on Saturday.

Manchester United have been pushed out to 14/1 after a 1-1 draw at home to Stoke while the Potters are 10/3 for relegation having registered back-to-back draws heading into the international break.  

Burnley's setback means they are 8/13 from 4/5 for relegation back to the Sky Bet Championship.
