After brushing aside potential title rivals Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday, Jose Mourinho’s men are now overwhelming 1-to-2 favorites with the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to secure their first league triumph since 2010.
One sports book, located outside of Las Vegas, is offering Chelsea at 25-to-1 odds to finish the Premier League season without a loss.
Sunday’s result has seen the Gunners slip to 20-to-1 long shots to end their 10-year championship drought this season, with Arsene Wenger’s outfit now ranked behind Manchester United on the futures board.
Nevertheless, neighbors Manchester City are still regarded as the only team with a realistic chance of foiling current the leaders’ march to the title according to the Vegas bookmakers, with odds of 5-to-2 currently on offer for them to retain their crown.

Considering Manchester City were forced to come from behind at various stages during last campaign’s triumph, those odds are worth considering on a team that appear to be hitting their stride after two consecutive victories and, with Sergio Aguero now firing on all cylinders, early season slip-ups against the likes of Stoke City mean they already have plenty of catching up to do.
Having run City closer than anyone last time out, Liverpool’s poor start to the season without departed star man Luis Suarez sees them all the way down at 30-to-1 to end their long wait for a Premier League triumph.
The Reds now appear more likely to be fighting it out to maintain their place in the top four this season, with Brendan Rodgers admitting that things may get worse before they can get better.
