Manchester City are the 4/6 favourites to lift the Community Shield on Sunday with William Hill also making the League Champions 2/5 to finish higher than Chelsea in the League this season. Roberto Di Matteo worked wonders towards the end of last season, however with a Pep Guardiola shaped shadow hanging over him, Hills offer 11/10 that he has left Stamford Bridge by the end of the season and the former Barca boss is 14/1 to be sat on the bench for Chelseas final game of the season.

The Community Shield enables sides to get one over on their prospective title rivals but we think that if Chelsea lose this one, the pressure could be on Di Matteo already, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Formerly known as the Charity Shield, Hills offer 7/2 that there is no charity and that a red card is shown during the match.

90 minutes: 5/4 Man City; 11/5 Chelsea; 23/10 Draw

WHO’LL BE TOP RED REF OF PREM SEASON?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which referee will show the greatest number of red cards during the Premier League season, and installed Andre Marriner as 9/2 favourite to do so, with World Cup Final ref Howard Webb a 13/2 shot – and Hills are also betting on how many red cards in total will be issued during the season, making 70 or more a 9/4 chance. ‘Refs always say they prefer not to flourish red cards, but some seem to be more readily inclined to do so than others’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

YOU BET FANS WILL SNUB ENGLAND GAME

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for a disappointing turnout at Wembley of between 40,000 and 49,999 fans for England’s friendly against Hungary from 20/1 to 6/4 after taking a flood of bets that the official attendance will be extremely low. Hills have also cut 30,000 – 39,999 from 66/1 to 3/1, and a humiliating 20,000- 29,999 from 100/1 to 16/1. ‘The FA are pulling out all the stops to encourage a decent turnout for this game,but with most clubs wishing it wasn’t happening and fans having shelled out for club season tickets, and following such a dismal World Cup performance, punters have decided a low turnout is a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
