The final match of this season’s English Premier League takes place on Sunday afternoon with online bookmakers heavily backing Chelsea to win the title at the expense of reigning champions Manchester United.

Both teams have played 37 games so far this season but three-time consecutive English Premier League title holders Manchester United are only one point behind Chelsea. However, both sides are finishing this season’s calendar with home games against lesser opposition, which means the current one-point gap should remain intact.

Chelsea last won the English Premier League in 2006 under the stewardship of manager Jose Mourinho but new boss Carlo Ancelotti hoping to emulate his famous predecessor after only one season in charge of the London-based club. Ladbrokes.com, BoyleSports.com and Bwin.com show odds of 1/14 on Chelsea winning their fourth title this weekend followed by ToteSport.com, WilliamHill.com, SkyBet.com, ExtraBet.com, SportingBet.com, BlueSq.com, VictorChandler.com, 888Sport.com, StanJames.com, PaddyPower.com and Bodog.com with 1/12.

Only slightly shorter, Coral.co.uk, bet365.com and BetFred.com are offering odds of 1/10 on the Londoners winning this season’s English Premier League while punters can get 11/100 from Betfair.com, WBX.com and BetDaq.com.

Manchester United are currently tied with fierce rivals Liverpool in terms of the number of overall historic domestic titles with each holding 18. United had hoped to surpass their neighbours this season but a string of injuries combined with the sale of star player Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in the off-season has seen them struggle to assert any lingering dominance.

Coral.co.uk is offering odds of 5/1 that Manchester United will win this season’s English Premier League title by defeating Stoke City with Chelsea slipping up against Wigan Athletic.

For their part, SportingBet.com and BetFred.com show odds of 11/2 on Sir Alex Ferguson’s men being crowned champions of England this Sunday while Bodog.com, StanJames.com, BlueSq.com, WilliamHill.com, VictorChandler.com, ExtraBet.com, Bwin.com and 888Sport.com are offering 6/1.
