Aston Villa, Sunderland and Norwich are in the Premier League relegation places after Saturday''s action and the trio are all odds-on for the drop with Sky Bet.

Bottom-of-the-table Villa beat Norwich 2-0 and that allowed Newcastle to move above the Canaries with a 1-0 victory at home to West Brom.

Leicester are now 15/8 favourites with Sky Bet for the Premier League after they swept aside Manchester City 3-1 - a result which scooped one punter £10,000 off a £10 scorecast bet.

The remarkable story for Claudio Ranieri''s 5,000/1 pre-season shots continued with a thoroughly convincing display and it has seen them move to the head of the market at 15/8 having been on offer a 5/1 prior to kick-off.

Two goals from Robert Huth and another from Riyad Mahrez put the visitors well in control before Sergio Aguero netted a late consolation with three minutes to play.

That Aguero goal will have been widely celebrated by one Sky Bet punter in particular who won a massive £10,000 off a £10 bet on Huth to score first in a 3-1 away win at 1,000/1.

That is not the only big hit Sky Bet could take on Leicester this season as 20 punters with the firm could win a combined £5million if Leicester hold on to top spot.

One punter placed a £40 bet on at odds of 5,000/1 and now stands to make £200,000 if the Foxes still hold sway in May.

City are now 3/1 chances with Arsenal on offer at 11/4.

Tottenham are the side sitting five points behind Leicester in second after a 1-0 victory at home to Watford but Mauricio Pochettino''s men are fourth in the title betting at 4/1.
