Kenny Backed To Stay After Liverpool Bounce Back

Liverpool strolled to victory against Chelsea just days after defeat in the FA Cup Final and will somewhat appease the Liverpool fans after what has been a disappointing season. Kenny Dalglish may have bought himself some time and William Hill now make him 4/7 (from 5/6) that he is in charge of Liverpool come the first game of next season.

“Liverpool’s fans will rightly be disappointed with their side’s season, but a comprehensive victory against the Champions League finalists has bookended a torrid season and set fans thinking that Kenny may well be the man to lead them to glory in 2012/13,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll continued his recent fine form, with just a goal missing from his performance against Chelsea and Hills offer 5/6 that he is on the England plane for the Euros (5/6 he is not).

Chelsea’s capitulation means that they are out of the running for the top four and Hills are now betting on who will finish third and fouth in the league, with Arsenal 4/9 to finish in third and Tottenham 1/2 to finish in fourth.

Who will finish third: 4/9 Arsenal; 7/4 Tottenham; 33/1 Newcastle

Who will finish fourth: 1/2 Tottenham; 2/1 Arsenal; 7/1 Newcastle

Kenny Dalglish to still be in his current position on first day of 2012/13 Premiership season: 4/7 yes, 5/4 no

Andy Carroll to be in the final Euro 2012 England squad: 5/6 yes, 5/6 no

Brit Backers Denied Once Again As Last Minute Pen Secures Draw

A last minute Valencia penalty denied Brit backers a Champions League double tonight. William Hill offer 11/8 that Manchester United are the furthest progressing British side and depite their draw, Chelsea are 9/4 second favourites.

“English punters will have been disappointed by the collective capitulation of both Manchester City and United, and Chelsea’s last minute concession will have done little to lighten the mood ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/1 that there is an all British final in this year’s Champions League.

All of the pre game talk before the Chelsea game in Valencia revolved around Frank Lampard and he will have done no damage to his (purported) ‘diminishing’ career by bagging Chelsea’s only goal at the Estadio Mestalla. Hills go 3/1 about him starting England’s game against Montenegro next month.

Furthest progressing Brit side: 11/8 Man Utd; 9/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Man City; 6/1 Arsenal

Fergie Set To Ring Changes For Visit Of Chelsea

Manchester United made light work of Schalke at Old Trafford with a second string side and Sir Alex Ferguson now looks ahead to his tie with Chelsea on Sunday. Hills offer 11/10 that just two of Wednesday’s starting XI take to the field at the start of the weekend’s big match and 11/1 that four or more do so. Following Manuel Neuer’s capitulation in front of the Old Trafford crowd, Hill’s have lengthened the odds of him starting United’s first game of next season to 8/1 from 11/2. The odds suggest that if Fergie is to bring in another keeper, it will more than likely be David De Gea, who is 9/4 to start United’s first game of next season.

“Fergie obviously had one eye on Sunday’s game when naming his side against Schalke and the odds suggest that he will ring the changes against Chelsea,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

United are the 7/5 favourites to win on Sunday, while Chelsea are offered at 19/10. The draw is 23/10. All eyes will be on the two sides’ big strikers and Hills are offering markets on what both Torres and Rooney will do first. Rooney is 8/13 to complete the match without scoring or being carded, while Torres appears more likely to be subbed (4/9).

What Will Torres Do First: 4/9 Substituted; 9/4 Complete Match; 5/1 Yellow Card; 10/1 Score; 40/1 Sent Off
