It really depends on your opinion about Liverpool. Example: do you consider them to be a top 4 team? If yes, than 5.2 is long indeed...

Also, Jordan Henderson is in doubt for this match and for me he's one of Liverpool key players.

I couldnt see them at 5.2 though, and Arsenal at 1.78. There just isnt that much of a gap between the teams, although Henderson and Llalana were missing, Arsenal had a makeshift centre half pairing. I took the 5.2 and traded out for a profit

The absence of Koscielny and Mertesacker was the key for the price shift before the match, as it was a surprise. The price shift proved to be fair as Gabriel and Chambers were very shaky, especially in the first half. Defensively and also pretty vulnerable to Liverpool high pressing. Congratulations on the green!

I think Chelsea are overpriced at the moment for the title, at 4.5 general.

With possible new signings to be made before the transfer window closes and they've now had their toughest game of the season at the Etihad, I can easily see that price contracting in the coming months.

Yes City do look good so far, but I can easily this being a very close title race and the two being neck and neck going into the home straight, hence Chelsea could be backed now and traded later.

City have some easy games coming up so at this moment in time, the Winner's market looks untradeable.

De Bruyne looks to be all set to join City, it should be official tomorrow. I wonder if that will have an impact on their already low price.

So, has financial fair play been abandoned does anyone know?. City must have spent another 150m this window

FFP is geared to the clubs with more turnover so it's not FFP at all. Small clubs will now never be able to reached the same spend as bigger clubs. It should be renamed FUFP.

Its not been enforced though. They have fined clubs like Man City and PSG in recent years for breaching the rules but it has made little difference. I think the FFP experiment has failed, theres too much money in football and its not in anyones interest at the top to make meaningful change. Even clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool who have tried to introduce a sustainable business model in accordance with FFP have not been able to surpass the super rich clubs

Its interesting that the PL clubs tops the spending every year but that they dont dominate the Champions League. Usually you can correlate spending to performance within the league itself, as Peter pointed out before, a teams finishing position is based on their spending power. Maybe its just the PL are paying over the value for players more ?

That is almost certainly the case.
