English Premier League Weekend Betting Tips Part 3
- By Rex Dalton on April 25, 2013 20:58 GMT
In the race at the top of the Premier League, Arsenal play host to Manchester United and the Gunners definitely have a lot to play for in the race to qualify for the Champions League next season. They are just a point ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea with Spurs starting to breathe down both of their necks after the major turn-around last weekend to take all three points from Manchester City.

Arsenal will be banking on taking at least a point from the side they have acknowledged they will give an honor guard to during the pre-match ceremony. Arsenal are the slim 5/4 favourites to get the outright result against United, who can be backed at a competitive 2/1 price.
With little left to play for other than pride, United’s players will be looking to pick up that record points total by winning all remaining matches - but you don’t exactly reckon they’re going to lay their careers on the line for it either.
The 5/2 draw is the longest-priced option, but it’s certainly not out of the question here either.
Chelsea are the fairly hefty favourites to pull off a much-needed result at Swansea on Sunday.They are trading at a very short 4/11 to get the result at Stamford Bridge and they will be banking on another impressive team performance. Swansea will be looking to stay fresh for next week and may not put out their strongest team, though they will be looking to hang on to a good league position to ensure better prize money.
Swansea likely don’t have this one down as a match they expect to win, but they have certainly proven themselves able to take down any major opponent this season.
Tottenham can potentially be in third place at the end of the weekend if Arsenal fail to beat Manchester United and Chelsea fail to beat Swansea. Spurs need to get the win over Wigan - so that might be the key match this weekend that has reverberations felt at both sides of the table.
