Guardiola's City 15-8 to win Premier League

THE Premier League season is not officially over after Manchester United’s final match against Bournemouth was postponed because of a security alert but Manchester City effectively confirmed their spot in the Champions League with a 1-1 draw at Swansea.

Incoming City manager Pep Guardiola will be a relieved man and bet365 reacted by making the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona boss 12-1 to win the Champions League in his debut campaign at the Etihad.

Guardiola is expected to make an immediate impact at City with the Manchester men Coral's 15-8 favourites to win the title next season, but improvement will be needed over the summer to justify that price in what seems certain to be a competitive heat.

Andrew Ayew cancelled out Kelechi Iheanacho’s opener to make it a nervous second half for fourth-placed City but they sit three points clear of United with a goal difference that is 18 superior to their neighbours from Old Trafford.

Sergio Aguero was unable to add to his 24-goal tally as he lost his Golden Boot to Tottenham’s Harry Kane, who had been 14-1 ante-post.

However, Kane’s season with Spurs ended on a sour note as they were destroyed 5-1 at relegated Newcastle to miss out on second spot to neighbours Arsenal.

Olivier Giroud grabbed a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Aston Villa to secure their best finish since 2005 and bet365 make Arsene Wenger’s side 4-7 to finish above Tottenham next season for the 22nd consecutive year with Spurs at 5-4.

Southampton will play in next season’s Europa League following a 4-1 romp over FA Cup finalists Crystal Palace and United will join them in that competition.

West Ham suffered a 2-1 defeat at Stoke and will now need United to beat Palace at Wembley on Saturday to qualify for Europe.

Relegated Norwich went out on a low, losing 3-0 at Everton, while Danny Drinkwater grabbed a late equaliser for champions Leicester in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

Watford played out a 2-2 draw with Sunderland and Liverpool drew 1-1 at West Brom.
