The 35^th round of action in the FA Premier League concludes this coming Wednesday evening (24 April) with two huge games at the top end of the table. Arsenal will be looking to break back into the top four when they face the tough trip to Wolves, while Manchester City will go back to the top of the table if they manage to win at Old Trafford, the home of their local rivals Manchester United.

Where should I be investing my money?

First up, let’s start with the clash between Wolves and Arsenal. Wolves have been excellent in their first season back up in the top flight, although their form has tailed off somewhat over recent weeks, with the club winning just one of their last five league outings to drop down to 10^th.

Arsenal, by way of comparison, also appear to be stumbling at the crucial moment. Two defeats in their last three league matches has left the Gunners in fifth place, although they remain just a point behind Tottenham in third – Arsenal remain at just 1.57 to finish the season in the top four, ahead of their rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, who currently sit fourth and sixth respectively.

And while the betting is close, it is Arsenal who come into this match as the very slight favourites to claim what would be three hugely valuable points. You can more than double your money by backing the Gunners to win at 2.55 while Wolves, despite home advantage, are out at 2.90 to do the same – a draw would appear to be the least likely outcome and is priced accordingly at 3.50, according to Oddsshark.

However, we believe that home advantage could well be a decisive factor in this fixture. A narrow, 2-1 win for Wolves is priced competitively at 11.00, thereby offering more than a ten-fold return on any investment, while a combo bet of a Wolves win, coupled with both teams to score, is at 5.00. Meanwhile, you can also moiré than double your money by backing Raul Jimenez to get on the score sheet at a price of 2.50.

City can go back top by beating United

On the same evening, Manchester United host rivals City looking to trip up their title challenge. The Red Devils are in real trouble, having lost six of their last eight matches across all competitions, and are down in sixth place in the standings – they are now out at 6.00 to finish this season in the top four.

City, by way of comparison, are in red hot form as the season’s finale approaches. The defending league champions have won their last 10 league matches in a row and sit just two points behind current league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand, meaning that a win at Old Trafford on Wednesday night will put them back top of the pile – City are the favourites to retain their domestic crown and are priced at just 1.57 to do so, while Sergio Aguero is at 2.87 to finish the season as the top goal scorer in the division.

And it is indeed Manchester City who come into this match as the overwhelming favourites to collect three vital points. You can back the visitors to claim local bragging rights at just 1.44, while United, despite home advantage, are out at 7.50 to do the same – a draw is priced in the middle at 5.00.

But we believe that this local derby may well end up all square come the final whistle. A 1-1 draw is priced competitively at 10.00, thereby offering a ten-fold return on any investment, while you can more than double your money by backing under 2.5 goals in the game at 2.50.

City are at 6.00 to be ahead inside the first 10 minutes and you could double your money again by backing Raheem Sterling to get on the score sheet at 2.10. Marcus Rashford is at 3.40 for the Red Devils.
