The week just gone may end up being pivotal for Chelsea in their quest for the Premier League title. A routine win over West Ham at the London Stadium on Monday was followed by Manchester City dropping points vs. Stoke, leaving Antonio Conte’s Blues ten points clear with just eleven games left to play.

The title, it seems, is theirs as long as they can keep it together, and should they get over the line it will mean N’Golo Kante will be an English champion for a second successive season following his role in Leicester’s historic 2015/16 success.

And following the Frenchman’s stellar performance against the Hammers (stats below), his odds to be named Player of the Year have been slashed to 2/5 by 888sport, making him the favourite for the award ahead of team-mate Eden Hazard.

This is quite the tumble, with Kante having started the season at 66/1, and even represents a big change over the course of the past few weeks, with the odds at the start of March on this bet being 5/1.

Here are some standout odds for the POTY award from 888sport:
