Premier League odds 2018: Matchweek 28 betting preview and analysis for top games

Only three points separate fourth place Chelsea from second place Manchester United on the English Premier League table. Chelsea will have the chance to make up those three points this Sunday when they visit Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manchester United is a +125 home favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com over Chelsea (+240 to win, +220 to play to a draw). United saw an eight-game unbeaten streak of 5-0-3 come to an end with a 2-0 road loss to Tottenham at the end of January and recently lost its last match on the road 1-0 to Newcastle United.

This has been a trend for Manchester United all season long as the club has just a +8 goal differential on the road to go with a 7-4-3 record, a sharp contrast from its home goal differential of +24 and record of 10-1-2.

Chelsea has been one of the best road teams in the English Premier League this season with a 7-3-3 record and a +12 goal differential. Like Manchester United, Chelsea had a recent 5-0-3 run as part of an 11-1-4 run snapped in late January, losing back-to-back matches to Bournemoth and Watford. Chelsea has dominated this rivalry in recent years with an 8-1-5 record in its last 14 games against United.

In a rare Thursday night game, Manchester City will be a -115 favorite on the road against Arsenal (+265 to win, +300 to draw). Manchester City has run away with the English Premier League this season opening up a commanding 16-point lead over second-place Manchester United with a 24-1-3 record. City has the best road record in the league at 10-1-2.

That record will be put to the test against one of the best home clubs in the EPL on Thursday. Arsenal is 10-1-2 at home with a +22 goal differential. In its last six home matches against Manchester City, Arsenal is 3-0-3.

Rounding out the top five in the EPL standings, third-place Liverpool is a -525 favorite hosting West Ham United (+1100 to win, +600 to draw) on Saturday and fifth-place Tottenham is a -210 favorite on the road against Crystal Palace (+575 to win, +345 to draw). Liverpool is 12-1-5 over its last 18 league matches.
