Arsenal fought back from conceding a first-minute goal to beat Everton 3-2 at the Emirates and Mikel Arteta's Gunners are 25-1 to finish in the Premier League's top four this season.

Backers of Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score first at 7-1 were rewarded with an overhead finish after just 49 seconds but Arsenal rallied thanks to an equaliser from Eddie Nketiah and a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 3-2 correct score had been a 25-1 chance before kick-off in north London.

There were few worries for favourite-backers in Sunday's 2pm kick-offs as Manchester United (8-13) and Wolves (8-15) eased to 3-0 home victories over Watford and Norwich.

United had to wait until the 42nd minute to take the lead at Old Trafford through a Bruno Fernandes penalty. The Portuguese midfielder's first goal for the club was followed by second-half strikes from Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood as the Red Devils moved up to fifth in the table.

Betfair and Paddy Power make United 13-5 to finish in the top four while Wolves are 11-1 after Diogo Jota's brace inspired them to victory over bottom club Norwich.

The Canaries are 1-16 to be playing in the Sky Bet Championship next season but the battle to avoid the other two relegation places remains open.

Aston Villa are 8-11 for the drop with Bournemouth evens and West Ham, who travel to leaders Liverpool on Monday, 7-5. Watford are 13-8 to go down after their defeat at Old Trafford.
