Premier League Betting: Raheem Sterling PFA Player of the Year odds cut after November award

Raheem Sterling has been cut to 9/2 (5.50) to win PFA Player of the Year after claiming the Premier League Player of the Month award for November.

The Manchester City winger contributed three goals and three assists as the defending champions strolled to victory in all three of their games last month, including a 6-1 drubbing of Southampton.

Sterling bagged a brace and set up two more in that win over the strugglers, helping him to a tally of eight strikes and six assists so far this season – the second-best tally of goal contributions, behind only Eden Hazard.

It is the second time the England international has won Player of the Month but the first time since August 2016, prompting bet365 to cut him from 5/1 (6.0) to 9/2 (5.50) on Wednesday morning.

In fact, Sterling was available at 14/1 (15.0) on Sunday after Pep Guardiola’s men lost 2-0 to Chelsea – City’s first defeat of the season – and looks set to be in the running for the award towards the business end of the season.

His teammate David Silva is still favourite, though, with the influential Spaniard currently just 5/2 (3.50) after taking up a key role in City’s midfield in the continued absence of Kevin De Bruyne.

Silva scored in each of his side’s three wins in November, including the 3-1 victory over rivals Manchester United. That was the first time he has netted in three consecutive league games since December 2017, when he also struck against the Red Devils.

Chelsea attacker Hazard is 7/2 (4.50) second favourite after rediscovering some form with two assists in the Blues’ win over City, whilst Salah can be found at 10/1 (11.0) after netting a hat-trick at Bournemouth.

The Egyptian now leads the Golden Boot charge with 10 goals but it will surely take another record-breaking season for him to retain his PFA Player of the Year title.
