English Premier League Betting Update PT 2

It will be interesting to see how the recent protests have affected Manchester United’s players with even Ole Gunnar Soslkjaer declaring that the players have been feeling the pressure from the fans. If United fail to secure that essential point for next season - or even fail to finish second - there will be further blowback from the fans towards their management.

Another crucial contest for the top four unfolds on Tuesday as Chelsea play host to Leicester in a rematch of their recent FA Cup Final at the weekend. Leicester were able to overcome the odds and lift a major piece of silverware - an emphatic declaration that their shock English Premier League win from a few years back was no fluke. The Foxes are here to stay. 

In this contest, punters will find Chelsea trading at a 13/17 listing for the outright victory. Their loss to Leicester saw them get the negative result on several VAR calls and they will be left feeling as though there is still a score to settle following that FA Cup loss. Leicester are a few solid 9/2 price tag for the win at Stamford Bridge and that could look like a sharp selection if they play to the level they did on Saturday. 

Leicester City are just two points ahead of Chelsea in third place with 66 points and the Blues are on 64. A draw here wouldn’t be the worst thing for Leicester but it would mean that Chelsea might be looking over their shoulders at Liverpool in the final day of action. A loss for Chelsea here and a win for Liverpool (who are signifificant favourites to topple Burnley on Wednesday) would see them sitting in fifth heading into the final day. 

That would be a major blemish on Tuchel’s reign, which up to this point has been going extremely well. It would be a long summer for Chelsea - and an extra struggle to bring in newer, better players - if they are without Champions League football next season.
