Fernando Torres did not feature at all in Naples and he is 13/8 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (4/9 to still be there).

William Hill Odds:

AVB to no longer be in his current position by kick off of second leg v Napoli = 3/1

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Swansea City pulled off a stunning scalp in the form of Arsenal as they moved back into the top half of the table and William Hill are offering 4/1 that they manage to finish in the top 10 this season. Brendan Rodgers has performed miracles in South Wales and he is 7/1 to win the manager of the year award.

“Swansea continue to confound their detractors who were predicting a tricky time for them this season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They hardly spent any money when they came up yet are still managing to mix it with the big boys in the top half of the table.”

On a positive note for Arsenal Robin Van Persie continued his fine form by netting Arsenal’s first and he is Even money to finish with golden boot this season. The Gooners are 1/12 to finish in the top 6.

Arsene Wenger 5/2 to no longer be manager of Arsenal come the star of next season and with Robin van Persie’s contract expiring at the end of the 2013 season, Hills make him 7/4 to no longer be an Arsenal player on the first day of next season.

Arsenal are in a bit of a rut this season and they could do with bringing in a few new faces and Hills offer 12/1 that Mr Wenger signs at least three new players in this January’s transfer window. Although, they are odds on, at 8/11, to sign no new faces.

16/1 United Back In Champions League ?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

UNITED BACK IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN

A THREAT by FIFA which could see all Swiss clubs banned from all international football has seen William Hill offering odds of 16/1 that Manchester United will be reinstated in the Champions League.
‘FIFA are trying to kill off FC Sion’s long running legal case against them and has reportedly threatened to ban all Swiss teams from international competition if it isn;t resolved by January – which could just open the door for United, who finished behind FC Basel to be reinstated’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
United are currently 11/2 second favourites for the Europa League.
