Manchester United's top-four odds updated after draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford

There are just two weeks remaining in the Premier League season and the fight for a top-four finish remains extremely fierce with each side having two games to play.

Tottenham Hotspur look to have sealed their spot despite a defeat to West Ham United on Saturday, while Arsenal missed the chance to climb into the top-four after losing 3-0 to Leicester City in Sunday's earlier clash.

That gave Manchester United and Chelsea a golden opportunity to take advantage but the two Champions League hopefuls could not be separated, as the matches finished level at 1-1.

Juan Mata had given Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side a first-half lead but a mistake from David De Gea gave the Blues an equaliser, as Marcos Alonso poked home after the Spanish stopper could not hold onto Antonio Rudiger's drive from distance.

The big winners from the result were Tottenham , who can breathe a sigh of relief after their defeat to West Ham, as OddsChecker shows Mauricio Pochettino's side are 1/20 favourites to seal a spot in Europe's elite competition next season.

Chelsea have overtaken Arsenal as second-favourites to seal a top-four finish, with Maurizio Sarri's side now tipped at 2/5 to secure that spot, while the Gunners have drifted to 3/1 on the back of three consecutive Premier League defeats.

That leaves United , three points behind Chelsea with just two games to go, as outsiders at a price of 6/1 and their hopes could be ended next weekend if results do not go their way.
