Manchester City's odds to win a league and cup double have been cut once more with football betting sites making them odds-on to win both the Premier League and FA Cup.
The Cityzens completed a famous treble in the 2022/23 campaign, storming their way to the Premier League title for the third year running with a surge in the second half of the term.
They went on to claim the FA Cup, beating Manchester United in the final, before a nail-biting Champions League final success against Inter Milan.
Online bookmakers were confident that City could reach those heights again, offering a price of 18/1 to match their exploits at the start of the season.
Hopes of surpassing their treble achievement by winning the quadruple ended with an EFL Cup third round defeat to Newcastle United.
But, City did look capable of matching their feat from last season, especially after climbing to the top of the Premier League. However, it wasn't to be, crashing out of the Champions League to leave just the league and cup as their remaining targets.
Manchester City Trophy Multiples Odds 2023/24
- Premier League, FA Cup – 4/6 (BetVictor)
- Premier League - 2/5 (SpreadEx)
- FA Cup - 1/4 (Betfred)
- No Trophies – 10/1 (William Hill)
Pep Guardiola's men entered the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid as favourites to progress to the last four with the tie all square after the first leg at the Bernabeu.
However, Rodrygo's early goal put the hosts on the back foot, and although Kevin De Bruyne notched an equaliser, City were unable to find a way through a stubborn Real side. In the resulting penalty shootout, misses from Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic proved decisive in ending their European reign.
Despite their disappointment in Europe, City are in the driving seat to win the Premier League and are the favourites to win the FA Cup, with the bookies giving them a 60 per cent chance of completing the double.
Despite their Champions League exit days earlier, the Cityzens managed to retain their focus and advance FA Cup final thanks to Bernardo Silva's late strike, which secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea.
They will face a rematch of last year's final against local rivals Man Utd at Wembley on May 25, where they are the overwhelming favourites in the FA Cup odds to win the trophy for the second year on the bounce.
Following a break from Premier League action, City returned to the fever pitch battle of the title race with a statement 4-0 win over Brighton, followed by a not so convincing 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
With Liverpool having fallen away in recent weeks, City and Arsenal have been left in a straight fight for the crown.
Man City Premier League Title Odds
City remain favourites with betting apps to win the title for the fourth season in a row.
Liverpool were top of the market for a two week spell before their title charge stalled. Arsenal are City's biggest obstacle now and hold a one-point lead over Guardiola's men, albeit the Cityzens have a game in hand.
Due to that game advantage, City are odds-on at 2/5 to close out yet another title triumph.
Now without their commitments in Europe, Guardiola's men should be well rested without playing two matches per week.
Next on the agenda is a home match against Wolves, who seemingly have very little to play for at this stage of the season. City then travel to face Fulham and Tottenham before a final day clash at home to West Ham.
Manchester City to win the double odds
Guardiola’s side are also favoured with gambling sites to win the FA Cup at 1/4.
City crushed Huddersfield Town and then edged past Tottenham in round four, while Erling Haaland put on a clinic by scoring five goals against Luton Town to send his team into the quarter-finals.
Silva scored twice to see off Newcastle, setting up a semi-final date with Chelsea. City were on the back foot against the Blues for large periods as the effects of their Champions League marathon with Madrid appeared to be weighing on the players on the pitch.
After Nicolas Jackson missed a host of chances for the Chelsea, Silva punished Mauricio Pochettino's side with a late strike to send his team through to the final and another showdown with rivals United.
