Newcastle United notes as title odds slashed again, Chelsea join meltdown list amid Howe strategy

Newcastle United's odds to win the Premier League title have been slashed again after their victory over Chelsea.

The 1-0 win - which came courtesy of Joe Willock's second half winner - still leaves Eddie Howe's team seven points behind Arsenal but the Gunners must face Newcastle twice this season. For all the pandemonium after the narrow win against the Blues, United passed a serious test of their top-flight mettle.

Consequently, their odds to win the title were slashed again, this time as low as 28/1 with William Hill - something unthinkable 12 months ago. And given Newcastle had odds of 500/1 with some bookies at the start of the campaign, the turnaround is sensational.
