Premier League Betting: Arsenal seize advantage in the top four race

Goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette gave Arsenal a 10th consecutive Premier League win at the Emirates Stadium and moved them into third place.

While Manchester City and Liverpool are battling it out at the summit, there is an intense battle developing for the two remaining Champions League spots this term.

The Gunners are now 4/9 (1.44) with bet365 to finish in the top four places having established a two-point advantage over their three top-flight rivals.

Tottenham looked to be in a great position a few weeks ago but four defeats in their last five league games have dented their hopes.

Arsenal were 10 points behind their local rivals at the start of February, but Unai Emery's men are now just 8/11 (1.73) to finish above Spurs this season. It's Evens (2.0) that the Gunners lose the season-long match bet.

bet365 are still 8/13 (1.63) about Maurcio Pochettino's side ending the campaign in the top four, but they'll need to hit the ground running at their new home to keep their hopes alive.

“Spurs finally get to play in their new stadium in midweek, but after a wretched run they find themselves sitting behind their North London rivals with their top four place, which looked assured, now under threat.” said bet365's Steve Freeth.

Manchester United can climb as high as third place if they get the better of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night.

Wolves have proved a tough task for the Premier League's best teams at times but with an FA Cup semi-final on the horizon, they could be forgiven for looking past the visit of United.

bet365 are an industry-best price of 5/4 (2.25) about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men securing a top four finish this term.

Chelsea recorded a controversial last-gasp win over Cardiff City on Sunday and the Blues remain the outsiders to finish the season in a Champions League place at 15/8 (2.88).
