Arsenal are 1.67 shots to win their final game of the season against West Brom at the Hawthorns and look a solid bet to do so.
It will be Arsene Wenger’s 600th league game as manager and victory would ensure that they finish third.
They do come into the match having gone four games without a victory and having let in three against Norwich last week the defence will need to be much tighter if they are to prevail as West Brom are in decent form having last just one of their last six games.
It will also be the last game in charge for their gaffer Roy Hodgson, and both he and the players will want to end his brief era on a high.
However as far as the head-to-head stats are concerned the Baggies have won just two and lost seven of the 11 Premier League games against Arsenal and won just won and lost three played on their own patch.
That suggest that Arsenal are worthy favourites at 1.67 with bet365, Betfred and Paddy Power.
However there also looks to be some value to be had in the goal scorer markets involving a certain Robin van Persie.
The Dutchman has scored 37 this season, including 3 in the last two games, and scored first when these sides met in November.
That makes the 4.2 on offer with Paddy Power about him bagging the opener look very attractive.
But given that he has also found the net in three of his four starts against West Brom a safer bet is surely to back him at 1.8 with Boylesports to net anytime. That looks a big price considering that many firms go just 1.57.
I think that Arsenal will be able to edge this, and if you like to play in the correct score market then 2-1 is the suggestion.
That scoreline is an 8 shot with bet365, Betfred and Paddy Power.
