Leicester and Man United chase the Champions League, Aston Villa fight to avoid relegation, and Danny Ings eyes the Golden Boot – but what should you be watching? It’s the Sports Spread Bets of the Day!

Will Leicester play in the Champions League next season?
At one point it looked like a guarantee that Leicester would be playing with the big boys in Europe next season. Now they are perilously close to letting it slip from their fingers – a win, then, is at a must when they host Sheffield United at 6pm on Sky Sports Premier League.

What are the odds of Leicester finishing in the top 4? Well, it’s not looking good. Fixed odds they are at 6/4, compared to Chelsea at 1/9 and Man United at 2/9. And their Premier League Index spread is 6-9, where its 20 points for 3rd, 10 points for 4th and 5 points for 5th.

Talking of the Blades, what are the odds on Sheffield United finishing in the top 6? A win over the Foxes would see last season’s Championship runners-up leapfrog Wolves, currently in 6th, by a solitary point.

Despite Sheffield beating Tottenham, Wolves and Chelsea in the last couple of weeks, and the fact the Foxes have just 1 win since the restart, the hosts have the edge betting-wise.

What are the odds on Leicester beating Sheffield? Spreadex are offering a Leicester/Sheffield Goal Supremacy spread of 0.45-0.55, with the Foxes at Even fixed odds to come out victorious.

What are the odds on Aston Villa getting relegated?
Though they can’t escape the drop zone on Thursday, a win over Everton – at 6pm on Sky Sports Main Event – would give Aston Villa hope.

Spreadex are offering a Villa at a Relegation Index spread of 15-18, where 19th place gets 25 points and 18th place gets 10. Fixed odds wise, they are 1/8 to go down.

For the Toffees, there’s not a whole lot to play for beyond pride. Nevertheless, they have the advantage, at an Everton/Aston Villa Goal Supremacy of 0.2-0.4.

What are the odds of Man United finishing in the top 4?
While they might be a point behind Leicester, heading into their trip to Crystal Palace – at 8.15pm on BT Sport 1 – Man United are still favourites to qualify for the Champions League.

Spreadex has United odds on at 2/9 for a top 4 finish, with a Premier League Index spread of 12-15, the same as Chelsea.

As for Thursday night, Spreadex is offering a Man United/Crystal Palace (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 1.4-1.6, with a Total Goals spread of 2.85-3.05.

And what are the odds of Bruno Fernandes scoring against Palace? The super January signing sits at a Player Goal Minute spread of 17-20, with fixed odds of 6/5.

What are the odds on Danny Ings winning the Golden Boot?
An outsider at 25/1, Danny Ings is still in with a chance at the Golden Boot, on 19 goals to Jamie Vardy’s 23.

He needs to score against Brighton if he is to close that gap in time. Spreadex is offering an Ings Super Mega Minutes spread of 38-44, alongside a fixed odds price of 11/10.
