Chelsea are now just 4/9 to win the domestic league and cup double with Irish bookmaker, Paddypower. An excellent weekend for the champions elect make them red hot favourites for both awards.

Having seen main title rivals Manchester United stumble with a draw at Blackburn Sunday Paddy Power now offer 2/7 for Chelsea to win their first league title in four years with Sir Alex Ferguson’s side slipping to third in the betting at 6/1 from 5/2. Arsenal are in-between at 5/1 with their season arguably hinging on the North London derby at White Hart Lane on Wednesday. Even so, the title is Chelsea’s to lose now.

In the FA Cup Chelsea are the hot favourites at 1/8 with relegated Portsmouth 9/2 to pull off a shock win whilst Chelsea are 15/1 to come away from the season with nothing.

Whilst Rafa Benitez “guaranteed” a fourth place finish for Liverpool earlier in the season, that all but looks over for the Anfield outfit who are now 11/1 to take the final Champions League spot. Manchester City are in the driving seat at 2/5 although their weekend derby against United could yet see yet another twist in the tale with Spurs 3/1 to step in.

Paddy Power said: “The weekend played a huge part in deciding who is likely to be sharing the spoils for this season and it was a bad one for United backers with Chelsea in the position where both the league and the FA Cup is now theirs to lose.”
