Chelsea have drifted out to 14/1 fourth favourites with Sky Bet to defend their Premier League title after another nightmare weekend.

The Blues slumped to a 3-1 defeat at Everton before seeing early their main contenders Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United record victories on Saturday.

Manuel Pellegrini's men needed an injury-time winner from Nigerian teenager Kelechi Iheanacho to maintain their perfect start to the campaign, with a fifth successive win to nil seeing them move 11 points ahead of the champions.

City are just 4/11 for the title followed by Arsenal (9/2) and Manchester United (12/1), while Chelsea are now considered to be six times less likely to win the league than when they started the season at 6/4.

The Blues' troubled start has seen Jose Mourinho cut to 5/1 second favourite to be the first Premier League manager to depart this season, having started the campaign as one of the least likely candidates at 40/1.

However, the Blues boss played down any such suggestions, saying: "The results are the worst in my career. They are not adapted to my quality, my status, but I am coping well with the situation. I am not feeling pressure.
