Blues Favourites After Reds Coup

Chelsea are the next in line to finish inside the top four at 11/10 with a couple of football betting sites thanks to a dramatic late win against champions Liverpool before the international break.

The Blues' hopes of ending a three-game winless run in the Premier League seemed to be over heading into stoppage time, but Brazilian teenager Estevao struck at the death to secure a 2-1 victory.

The west Londoners moved up one place into seventh and are three points adrift of the top four, although they will be without Cole Palmer until November with a troublesome groin injury.

Enzo Maresca has had injury and suspension problems in the heart of defence, but they are starting to ease ahead of their next three matches against Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Tottenham.

Premier League Top Four Odds 

Frank Sparks Spurs Revival

Tottenham were 5/1 at the time of our last preview, but an impressive start to the season under new manager Thomas Frank has seen those odds cut to a best-priced 10/3.

Spurs' 2-1 win at Leeds last weekend saw them leapfrog Crystal Palace into third spot, just two points behind leaders and arch rivals Arsenal, and they have realistic ambitions of finishing in the top four in May.

That would be an incredible turnaround from last season when they finished just outside the relegation zone under previous manager Ange Postecoglou, albeit 13 points clear of safety.

Tottenham are going well in the Champions League, but have a very tough run of fixtures before the third international break.

Magpies Start To Believe

Newcastle supporters went from joy to despair over the summer as their return to the Champions League was tempered by the vitriolic departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

Although the Magpies are in the bottom half of the table before the international break, Nick Woltemade is proving to be an able replacement for the Swede.

The Germany striker has scored three Premier League goals and bagged the opener in an impressive 4-0 victory at Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League.

Under Eddie Howe's leadership, Newcastle ended a 70-year trophy drought by winning the EFL Cup and finished fifth in the league last season, but they are 4/1 in the Premier League top-four odds.

United Continue To Drift Under Amorim

Manchester United moved into the top half of the table with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, but that win seems to be papering over the cracks of what is expected to be another disappointing campaign for Ruben Amorim, who maintains the support of part-owner Jim Ratcliffe.

Last season, the Red Devils finished 15th in the Premier League table and missed out on Champions League football on the back of their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.

This season they have only beaten Burnley, Sunderland and a Chelsea team that had goalkeeper Robert Sanchez sent off in the fifth minute.

Worst of all was a harrowing Carabao Cup defeat by Grimsby, so it is no surprise to see United priced at 5/1 for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Cherries Outsiders

Bournemouth have made a superb start to the season despite losing three of their four first-choice defenders over the summer.

The Cherries have won four and drawn two of their first seven games to sit proudly in fourth spot, with Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest next up after the international break.

Andoni Iraola's side are 7/1 with most betting apps to finish in the top four at the end of the season, but their squad lacks the depth of their top-four rivals.

Sixth-placed Crystal Palace, who won the FA Cup under Oliver Glasner last season, have also burst out of the blocks and can be backed at 8/1, but Brighton and Aston Villa are 10/1 and 14/1 respectively.

Everton have made an encouraging start at their new stadium and are 28/1 with BetMGM to be playing Champions League football next season.

Who do you think will finish in the top four at the end of the season? Will it be the usual suspects or will a team spring a surprise? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below!

Hard to see beyond last season's top four. Joao Pedro could have a great debut season at Chelsea

Utd can spend as much as they like, they're still crap and will struggle this season. Only one champion. City back where we belong!

I hope I'm proved wrong, but I would be surprised if Forest and Villa are in the race again. Can't look past Chelsea really
