Latest Premier League Odds: Forest Form Fleets as Chelsea Capitalise

The race for the top four is heating up, with us well and truly into the business end of the season. This and more in the latest PL odds watch.

Chelsea Beat the Champions

Chelsea beat the newly crowned Premier League champions 3-1 to cap off a successful week. After beating Djurgården 4-1 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final, the Blues beat the Reds to leapfrog Forest, moving into fifth place.

Enzo Maresca's men sit outside the top four based only on Newcastle having scored more goals than them. Three huge games await them, facing top-four competitors including fourth-placed Newcastle and sixth-placed Nottingham Forest, with these games likely deciding who occupies the top four. Chelsea are evens to be there come the end of the season.

Newcastle only managed a point against Brighton on Sunday, thanks to a late Alexander Isak spot-kick. The Swede levelled the scoring with just a minute of regulation time left to play.

His goal secured their spot in the top four for another week, with Chelsea breathing down their neck. The two face off this weekend in an undoubted six-pointer, with Newcastle playing host. They are 1/1 to make the top four.

Manchester City currently occupy third place. They beat an in-form Wolves 1-0 on Friday night with soon departing icon Kevin De Bruyne netting the game's only goal in the first half. 

Just one point off both Newcastle and Chelsea in fourth and fifth, it’s imperative that they win their final games. With Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham left to play, they have every chance of doing so. They have 1/16 odds of making the top four. 

Forest Falling Short at the Final Push

A disastrous late run of form for Nottingham Forest has put their top-four finish in jeopardy. Nuno Espirito Santo will hope his side don't fall at the last hurdle, but recent draws and losses aren't cutting it.

Murillo cancelled out Eberechi Eze's penalty to earn the Trees a point against the Eagles. A draw is better than a loss, granted, but wins are needed this late on, especially with those und them in good form. Forest are now 6/1 to make the top four.

No Mo Goals for Salah

Mohamed Salah was unable to score against his former club Chelsea in Liverpool's first game since mathematically winning the Premier League. 

Regardless, he is still five goals clear at the top of the chart with just three games left to play. He’s 1/250 to win the Premier League Golden Boot. 

Alexander Isak, on the other hand, did manage to score. His goal levelled the score in Newcastle’s visit to Brighton. He’s fine behind leader Salah and is 66/1 to win the golden boot.
