BetVictor make Manchester City 7/4 favourites to retain their Premier League title after their dramatic last-gasp 2-1 win against West Brom at the Hawthorns ensured they stayed in close pusuit of leaders Chelsea.
Dzeko scored a late winner for Man City
Shane Long broke the deadlock mid-way through the second period with his fifth goal of the campaign but Edin Dzeko equalised for the 10-man champions within 60 seconds of entering the action.
Then in injury-time Dzeko struck the winner as the champions completed their comeback after James Milner's first-half red card for a professional foul.
City are level on points with Manchester United, who came from behind to beat Stoke 4-2 at Old Trafford, but remain four behind Chelsea following their 4-2 victory at Tottenham in the lunchtime kick-off.
Two goals in as many minutes from Juan Mata crushed Andre Villas-Boas' hopes of exacting revenge on his former employers while Gary Cahill and Daniel Sturridge also struck for the Blues, who are 5/2 for the title.
United needed two goals from Wayne Rooney and one each from Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck to see off the plucky Potters and Sir Alex Ferguson's men are 2/1 second favourites.
William Hill dodged a large seven-figure bullet as Arsenal's inept performance against Norwich prevented a monster payout.
After seven favourites in seven Premier League matches all won, Arsenal had the chance to become number eight.
"We obviously had large payouts as the three o'clock matches finished, but the Arsenal match was the big one," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
"The number of accas that were running onto the Gunners was ridiculous and while we have still come out of today losing, we have not been hit as hard as we could have been."
Following their impressive victory, Norwich are 8/11 for relegation, while Arsenal's price of winning the title has drifted from 10/1 to 12/1.
