With a highly congested period of fixtures over the last month or so, the Premier League table is looking slightly different. Changes in form have seen the odds of a top 4 finish and Champions League qualification come in for some and drift for others. It's fair to say that Liverpool and Manchester City are pretty much guaranteed for the top 2 places, but what about the remaining 2? With Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United all desperate to finish in the top 4, things could be about to get really exciting in the Premier League.

Before we take a look at the odds, select 2 teams that you believe will finish in the top 4 out of the 4 listed above and see if your prediction matches that of current prices available at Betfair. Perhaps a hunch could become a source of profit if you're the betting type.

Tottenham

Tottenham have had a very good season so far and are likely to have very few complaints at their current position of 3rd. With 6 losses to their name so far this season, they haven't quite hit the heights of Liverpool or Manchester City. However, it is worth noting that Tottenham have yet to draw a game and a return of 16 wins from 22 fixtures is nothing to be ashamed of. In my opinion, Tottenham are nailed on for a top 4 finish and have nothing to worry about, but as they are currently just 1 point ahead of Chelsea, I figured it was only fair to include them in this post.

Tottenham's recent form has seen a mixed bag of results. In their previous 5 fixtures, they've won 3 and lost 2. This has almost certainly taken them out of the title race, but it didn't really feel that many believed they could get the better of both Liverpool and Manchester City this season. Nonetheless, it's looking like Tottenham will once again be qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Betfair Odds

You can currently back Tottenham to finish in the Top 4 at odds of 1.27 at Betfair. These odds equate to an implied probability of 78.7%. Although it's likely to happen, I don't feel these odds offer enough value to take a punt on it. If you're a Tottenham supporter, however, this could be a way to make some easy profit if you're feeling confident.

Chelsea

Chelsea are a bit of a mystery this season. At times they've looked wonderful and the so-called Sarriball method of playing has served them well. At other times, they've looked quite blunt in attack and frail in midfield. There was talk of them being title challengers earlier in the season but those dreams have all but faded away for Chelsea supporters at this stage.

Chelsea currently sit in 4th place in the league on 47 points. They have a cushion of 6 points on 5th place and are now only 1 point behind 3rd placed Tottenham. Over the previous 5 fixtures, Chelsea have won 3, lost 1, and drawn 1.

Betfair Odds

Chelsea to finish in the top 4 is currently available to back at Betfair at odds of 1.31. This price gives an implied probability of 76.3% so Chelsea are certainly up there with Tottenham as big favourites to finish in a Champions League qualification spot. Over the course of the season, I feel that Chelsea have shown they're more at risk of dropping down the table than Tottenham so fans of the club may be looking over their shoulders at the chasing pack if they drop any more points.

Arsenal

Arsenal supporters must be feeling rather disappointed with how things have turned out so far this season. With new manager Unai Emery taking over, many wondered whether Arsenal would go out and make some statement signings in the transfer windows. It seems that they are unable to do that and have actually agreed to sell Ramsey to Juventus at the end of the season.

Arsenal are currently in 5th place on 41 points, now 6 points away from 4th placed Chelsea. Over the previous 5 fixtures, they've won 2, lost 2, and drawn 1. This has allowed Manchester United to creep up on them and they're now only in front on goal difference. More worryingly for Arsenal fans is the fact that their next Premier League game is against Chelsea. Should they lose this match then their chances of a top 4 finish will be slashed greatly.

Betfair Odds

Arsenal can be backed to finish in the top 4 at Betfair at odds of 8.80. That price gives an implied probability of just 11.4% so Arsenal are now big outsiders to qualify for the Champions League next season. If you believe Arsenal can go on and get the job done then these are great odds to back and you would earn a big profit should the bet land. Nonetheless, these odds are available for a reason, and Arsenal would require a big upturn in form to succeed at this point.

Manchester United

Before Mourinho parted ways with Manchester United were all but forgotten in the conversations about top 4 finishes. They've since gone on to find great form in the Premier League under new management and, although they still have a lot to do, look like they could capitalise on any mistakes by those above them in the league table.

Manchester United are currently in 6th place in the league on 41 points, behind Arsenal only on goal difference. Over the previous 5 fixtures, they've won all 5 and are now only 6 points away from 4th placed Chelsea.

Betfair Odds

You can currently back Manchester United to finish in the top 4 at Betfair at odds of 3.25. That price gives an implied probability of 30.8% so Manchester United are still outsiders at the current time. This is a great time to back them if you believe they will go on to get the job done because those odds will be smashed in if they continue to win their next few games.

Your Predictions

Having checked multiple bookmaker offerings, although odds differ slightly here and there, the order of favourites remains the same. With this in mind, do you foresee any shocks occurring before the end of the season?

Looking at things objectively, Chelsea still have a strong lead over Arsenal and Manchester United but things could change should the Arsenal vs Chelsea game end in a draw and Manchester United pick up another win against Brighton. It's safe to say that whoever takes that 4th spot will truly earn it as it's going to be a battle that could go on until the very last game of the season.
