Current Premier League top 4 odds provide an indication of where teams are expected to end up come the end of the season.
Will the league table look much as it does now or will we see some big changes at the top end of the Premier League table after the final few rounds? Here’s our take on the current situation.
Best Premier League top 4 odds
With Liverpool clinching the title, they are the only team that's secured a top-four finish in the league, which is a bit surprising this late in the season.
That being said, the first team on our list, Arsenal, offers little value for betting, but there is still value to be found in this market, especially looking for the fourth team. So, let's take a look at the current odds:
| Arsenal |
1/40 |
| Man City |
1/20 |
| Newcastle |
10/11 |
| Chelsea |
11/10 |
| Nottingham Forest |
5/1 |
| Aston Villa |
11/1 |
Selections to watch
Given the low potential return for betting on Arsenal to finish in the top 4, we will focus on the remaining teams in the race, while it's also worth noting that this season finishing fifth in the Premier League also guarantees a spot in the Champions League.
Newcastle United
After their win over Chelsea last weekend, Newcastle are now one of the main favourites to secure one of the first four places in the standings, with even lower odds than Man City. After all, they are third at the moment, one point ahead of the Citizens.
Meanwhile, Newcastle also have games against Arsenal and Everton left, but the Magpies are certainly in a great position heading into the final two matchdays.
Man City
After a run of four wins in a row in the Premier League, Manchester City shocked everyone last weekend when they failed to beat Southampton, the worst team in the league this season by a wide margin.
The Citizens are now fourth in the standings, but they do have a two-point cushion over Chelsea and Aston Villa, as well as three points more than Nottingham Forest, the other candidates to finish in the top four.
Man City will host Brighton and play against Fulham away in their final two matches of the season.
Chelsea
Despite their recent hot run, Chelsea weren't able to avoid a loss at Newcastle, which put a serious dent in their hopes of finishing fourth this season, especially since they also have to play against Man Utd and Nottingham Forest before the season ends.
That being said, given that the fifth place also guarantees Champions League football, the Blues will hope to at least stay in fifth, but they will need to get more points on the board since they're currently tied with Aston Villa and have just one point more than Nottingham Forest.
Aston Villa
The Villans have been in great form lately and thanks to this they managed to get involved in the race for fourth place. They are currently sixth, two points behind Manchester City in fourth.
Aston Villa will host Tottenham in the next round, and then travel to Manchester to meet with United in the last round. Given that these two teams will be focused on their upcoming Europa League final, Villa's fans have reasons for optimism ahead of these final games.
Nottingham Forest
After winning just once in the last six Premier League matches, Forest are on a brink of disaster – not in terms of their final finish which will certainly exceed pre-season expectations, but in terms of where they were during the season. After all, the Garibaldis have been in second place for a while and were the main favourites to secure a top-four finish just a few weeks ago.
However, Forest are now the outsiders when it comes to finishing in the top four and even finishing fifth will most likely require them winning both of their remaining matches against West Ham and Chelsea, which will be a tall task for a team out of form.
Who will finish in the Premier League top 4? Here’s our prediction
We’re not raising any eyebrows here, but Arsenal, Newcastle, and Manchester City will likely finish in the top 4, along with the new champions Liverpool.
We also expect Aston Villa to win both of their matches and they are certainly the best value-for-money pick of the bunch if you expect one of the teams ahead to slip in the remaining two rounds.
After all, Aston Villa aren't scheduled to play any of the other candidates for the top-four finish and they are in great form, so we can see them doing their part of the job to come out on top in this race.
