Spurs/chelsea…liverpool Latest…kean-go

The bookies can barely split Spurs and Chelsea as they go head to head in Thursday night’s big Premier League match, with the home side slight favourites at 6/4. Chelsea are 17/10 with the draw 12/5.

Last week against Manchester City, Frank Lampard came off the bench to bag the winner and Hills are offering 4/1 that any substitute scores a goal. Both Adebayor and Drogba are in fine form at the moment and Hills offer 5/2 that Adebayor scores more than Drogba, while the same price is available for Drogba to outscore his Tottenham counterpart. Both sides have settled into a relatively rich vein of form and Hills go 11/8 about the pair finishing in the top four.

Match Betting: 6/4 Tottenham; 17/10 Chelsea; 12/5 Draw

Adebayor/Drogba Match Bet: 5/2 Adebayor; 5/2 Drogba; 4/5 Tie

Any substitute to score a goal: 4/1

YOU BET SUAREZ ABSENCE TO CARROLL’S BENEFIT

William Hill have pushed Liverpool out to 80/1 from 66/1 to win the title following Luis Suarez’s lengthy ban. They are 5/1 to win the league without the presence of the Manchester sides and 6/4 to finish in the top four. While the lengthening odds suggest that Liverpool may well miss Suarez up front, one man who is sure to benefit is Andy Carroll with Hills shortening his odds of outscoring former Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres, from 11/10 to 4/6.

“Liverpool will certainly miss Suarez’s trickery and more importantly his goals, but we think that Andy Carroll will step up to the plate and bag some goals in the Uruguayan’s absence,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carroll/Torres Match Bet: 4/6 Carroll; 11/10 Torres

STEVE KEAN LATEST

Steve Kean’s tenure at Blackburn looks perilous and he is 5/4 to be out of a job before his side take on Liverpool on Boxing Day. Steve Kean is 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job – with Owen Coyle drifting out to 10/3.

2nd Premier League Manager to Leave: 1/4 Steve Kean; 10/3 Owen Coyle; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 Martin Jol; 25/1 Harry Redknapp; 25/1 David Moyes; 25/1 Roy Hodgson; 33/1 BAR

Which Manager Will go first: 1/4 Steve Kean; 11/4 Owen Coyle

Coyle/Kean Gone By New Year: 8/13 None; 6/5 one; 20/1 both

When will Steve Kean leave Blackburn:
8/13 Still in charge after Stoke (02/01/12)
5/4 Before Liverpool (26/12/11)
9/1 After Liverpool (26/12/11) before Manchester United (31/12/11)
12/1 After Manchester United (31/12/11) before Stoke (02/01/12)

Could Tottenham Have The Spurs To Go The Distance

Tottenham won once more to keep the pressure on the big boys and Hills make Spurs 33/1 to win the Premier League. Spurs, now third in the Premier League table, are 5/6 with William Hill to finish in the top half this season and 5/6 to finish the season in the Europa League.

“After a slightly slow start to the season, Spurs have chalked up 8 wins in 9 and on current form look a very good bet to bag a top four spot,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Emmanuel Adebayor secured a brace against Villa and Hills think that he will give the current Manchester City strikers a run for their money. He is Evens to outscore Balotelli, 3/1 to outscore Aguero and 10/3to outscore Dzeko.

UNHAPPY FANS KEAN TO TAKE THE MICK?

WITH another protest planned against Steve Kean, while Wolves’ boss Mick McCarthy faces a sixth successive defeat when his side play one of the promoted teams, the next departure of a Prem boss could be imminent: ‘Fans of various clubs believe that they are facing crises of differing types and when that happens the managers come under pressure, and eventually one or more will depart’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Wenger Must Go Eventually – Bet On It

WHEN WILL WENGER LEAVE GUNNERS?

William Hill are betting on which year will see Arsene Wenger step down as Arsenal manager, but make him just 15/8 still to be in place on January 1, 2015, although he is 4/1 to leave the job this year, 9/4 next. ‘Even Arsene will have to go eventually, and if results continue to be as poor as the Man U and Blackburn results, it will be sooner rather than later’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When will Arsene Wenger no longer be Arsenal 1st team manager?:

2011 4/1
2012 9/4
2013 11/2
2014 10/3

11/1 That Tuesday’s 11 Goal Haul Is Matched Next Week!

An astonishing eleven goals were scored in two games in Tuesday’s Champions League and William Hill are offering 11/1 that the same amount of goals are scored when the sides meet next week. Tottenham are 16/1 to qualify for the Semis following their 4-0 drubbing at the Bernabeu, while Real Madrid are 1/100. Adebayor was the architect of Tottenham’s downfall, scoring two and Hills offer 9/1 that he scores a hat-trick at some point during the remainder of the Champions League. He is 6/5 to be playing for Real Madrid come the first game of next season and 15/8 to remain at Manchester City.

“Both matches were goal fests on Tuesday night and with two sides, Spurs and Inter, having to go and attack from the off, we could well see another 11 goals next Wednesday,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

To Qualify
Tottenham – 16/1
Real Madrid – 1/100

Chelsea – 5/6

Man City: Out With The Old In With The New?

William Hill are taking bets on how many of Manchester City’s starting XI from the final game of last season will start the first game of this one. With the spending spree set to continue, Hills offer just 13/8 that only 3 or 4 make the line up against Spurs on the 14th of August. With two of the players from City’s 1-1 draw with West Ham having left the club already and a somewhat depleted XI starting the game, Hill’s are offering 8/1 that 8 or 9 start.

“City have made no secret of their desire to bringin players of the highest quality in an attempt to improve on their 5th place last season and they could probably make 3 or 4 starting XIs out of the squad that they have amassed. The odds suggest that Mancini will be keen to blood his new signings against Tottenham,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Of Man City’s Starting XI In The Final Game Of Last Season Will Start The First Game Of This Season?

2 or less 11/2
3 or 4 13/8
5 or 6 11/8
7 or more 11/4

Starting XI in the final game of last season: Fulop; K. Toure; Sylvinho; Zabaleta; Wright-Phillips; De Jong; Vieira; Kompany; A Johnson; Adebayor; Santa Cruz

Torres Odds On To Stay But 7/2 For City Move!

With a number of clubs itching to get their hands on Fernando Torres’s signiture, Hills have opened a book on which club he will represent on the first day of the season and perhaps surprisingly he is 1/2 to still be a Liverpool player. Moneybags Man City are 7/2 and Chelsea 8/1.

“There are very few teams who can afford Torres price tag, as a result we feel that he will remain a Liverpool player,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres’ Club On First Day Of 2010/11 Season: 1/2 Liverpool, 7/2 Man City, 5/1 Chelsea, 8/1 Barcelona, 12/1 Inter, 16/1 Real Madrid…..Others On Request….Loan Deals Count

How Long Will Adebayor Ban Be ?

HOW MANY GAMES BAN WILL ADEBAYOR BE HANDED?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many games’ ban Adebayor will be given for his alleged celebration and tackle misdemeanours during the Manchester City-Arsenal game – and offer 9/2 that he will avoid any penalty whatsoever.
‘In the current climate it seems pretty certain that Adebayor will face an FA ban – and we reckon three games is the most likely initial penalty.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Our market is on the first decision made and excludes any subsequent appeal’ added Sharpe.
