Premier League Latest: Arsenal Gunning For Fifth As United Odds On To Stay Unbeaten Longest

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

Arsene Wenger has made no secret of the fact that his Arsenal side is struggling and William Hill reckon the Gunners will miss out on Champions League football next season. Hills have them at 8/15 to finish 5th or sixth this season while their odds of a top four finish is 9/4. They are 40/1 to win the league and 100/1 to be relegated. Arsene Wenger is 9/4 to have left Arsenal by the end of the season and 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his job.

Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season and are 1/16 to end the season with no silverware.

“Arsenal’s form at the moment is nowhere near the high standards that they have set over the past few years and Nasri and Fabregas appear justified in having left the Gunners in search of silverware,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

In stark contrast to Arsenal’s shaky start, United are five for five this season and are 1000/1 to win every single game this season and 10/1 to remain undefeated all season. They are odds on for the first time this season to win the league, at 4/6 while their cross city rivals are 5/2 to do so. Hills offer 6/4 that Manchester United win the league with City in second while it is 3/1 for City 1st and Utd 2nd.

Wayne Rooney is 13/8 to win the golden boot this season, with Sergio Aguero 11/4.

After the weekend’s matches, there are now only four unbeaten sides in the Premier League and William Hill make Manchester United the 2/5 favourites of the four to remain undefeated for the greatest number of matches. City are 2/1, while Newcastle are 16/1 and Villa 25/1.

Arsenal finishing position: 40/1 winner; 9/4 top four; 8/15 5th or 6th; 6/1 7th – 10th; 10/1 11th-17th; 100/1 relegated

Last team to lose in EPL: 2/5 Man Utd; 2/1 Man City; 16/1 Newcastle; 25/1 Aston Villa

1000/1 Utd to win every match this season

10/1 Utd to remain undefeated all season

Arsenal goals conceded this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 over 55

First Premier League manager to go: 4/6 Steve Kean; 9/2 Steve Bruce; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 9/1 Alan Pardew; 10/1 Neil Warnock; 12/1 David Moyes; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Mick McCarthy; 20/1 BAR

Premier League forecasts: 6/4 Utd/City; 3/1 City/United; 4/1 Utd/Chelsea; 8/1 Chelsea/Utd; 16/1 City/Chelsea; 25/1 Chelsea/City

You Bet: Cesc Will Be Fab For Barca And How Will Arsenal Do Without Their Talisman?

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

New Barcelona signing Cesc Fabregas is rated a 6/4 chance by William Hill to start more league games for Barcelona than the talismanic Xavi (1/2). The bookies are also offering odds of 10/1 for Fabregas to make more league appearances for the Blaugrana than his idol and current Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola (263).

“Fabregas has taken the number four, the same number that Guardiola wore at the Camp Nou and it will be interesting to see whether he surpasses the achievements of his once idol and current mentor,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The former Arsenal captain is rated a 12/1 chance to score against the Gunners this season and the same price to play again for the North London club before the end of his career.

“Arsenal made Cesc into the player that he is today and it is feasible that he could well turn out for the Gunners again before the end of his career,” said Crilly.

Hills are also offering odds on Cesc’s number of league starts for Barcelona this season and the number of goals he’ll score for the defending champions this season.

With Cesc out of the door at the Emirates, Hills think that a mass exodus may have been sparked and offer 1/2 that Samir Nasri is sold before the end of the transfer window and 15/2 that Robin Van Persie is.

Arsenal have to take on Udinese without Fabregas now and William Hill have priced up where they will exit the Champions League. They are 5/2 to go out to the Italians and 9/4 to exit at the group stages. They are 20/1 to win the competition.

William Hill Fabregas Specials

Number of starts in La Liga this season: 5/2 Under 20, 6/4 20-30, 5/4 Over 30

Fabregas total La Liga goals this season: 3/1 0-5, 13/8 6-10, 9/4 11-15, 5/1 16-20, 9/1 21 or more

Fabregas to make more La Liga appearances for Barcelona than Pep Guardiola (263) 10/1

Red Mist On The Tyne Hampers Arsenal’s Chance To Steal A March

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

Newcastle and Arsenal shared the spoils on the opening day of the season and Arsenal have been pushed out to 12/1 to win the Premier League with William Hill. In a fiery affair, there was one red card for Arsenal and could have been another with Joey Barton involved in both incidents. Hills offer 6/5 that Arsenal receive between one and three red cards this season and 7/4 that they get four or five. Joey Barton on the other hand is odds on, at 4/6 to receive no red cards this season and is 5/6 to still be at Newcastle at the end of the summer transfer window and 5/6 that he is not. An uninspiring draw will not have improved Arsenal fan’s dim view on Arsene Wenger’s transfer policy and he is 5/2 to have left his job by the final day of this season.

“Arsene’s men lost their heads once again at St James’ Park and came away with a draw,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “While not a disastrous result, the craft of Fabregas and Nasri was sorely missed and Wenger may have to splash the cash quite soon.”

Elsewhere, Liverpool’s odds of 10/1 were eased to 12/1 following a home draw against Sunderland.

Joey Barton Red Cards In The Premier League: 4/6 none; 5/2 one; 3/1 two or more

Arsenal red cards in the Premier League: 6/5 one – three; 7/4 four – five; 9/4 six or more

Joey Barton to still be at Newcastle come the end of the transfer window: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Arsene Wenger to still be Arsenal boss come the last day of the season: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Premier League Outright: 11/8 Manchester United; 5/2 Chelsea; 4/1 Manchester City; 12/1 Arsenal; 12/1 Liverpool; 50/1 BAR

Hills are also offering 6/4 that Cesc Fabregas is the first of the four to go, while Carlos Tevez is 13/8 to do so. It would appear that Arsenal have more hope of keeping Nasri than Fabregas and he is offered at 10/3 to be the first of the four to go, while Modric is 6/1.

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

Andre Villas Boas confirmed that he is unconcerned about the pre-season form of Fernando Torres and William Hill think that his assurances are founded, offering 2/1 that he manages between 16 and 20 goals this season. He is 7/4 to score 21 to 25 goals. Hills also think that Torres has the full support of his manager and he is 9/4 to start 26-30 Premier League games this season.

“It would be fair to say that Torres endured a rocky patch at the start of his Chelsea career, but the odds suggest that Villas Boas will have faith in him and in return, the goals will flow,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Torres Premier League Starts: 10/3 Under 10; 7/1 11-15; 6/1 16-20; 5/2 21-25; 9/4 26-30; 9/2 Over 30

Torres Premier League Goals: 12/1 Under 6;8/1 6-10; 4/1 11-15; 2/1 16-20; 7/4 21-25; 5/1 Over 25

“These four players have all shown their desire to move to pastures new and itcertainly looks like a possibility that all four will be gone by the time the transfer window slams shut at the end of August,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Barca: Want You Fab For Good!

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

William Hill have slashed the price of Cesc Fabregas leaving Arsenal for Barcelona from 1/2 to 2/7 while he is now 5/2 (from 6/4) to remain at the Emirates for the first game of next season. Hills now reckon that the deal is all but done and have opened a market on how much he will leave for and offer 6/5 that Fab costs Barca between £30,000,001 and £35 million. He is 2/1 to go for over £35 million.

“As one of the longest running transfer sagas in recent history nears conclusion, it now appears that the only remaining question is how much he will cost when he inevitably departs,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Prices:

Will Fabregas join Barcelona during this Summer’s Transfer Window: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

How Much Will Fabregas Cost During This Summer’s Transfer Window:
7/4 Up to (and including) £30 million
6/5 £30,000,001 to £35 million
2/1 £35,000,001 upwards

England’s Toothless Lionesses Lengthened For World Cup

Following a less than inspiring display, the odds of England’s women winning the World Cup have drifted to 33/1 with William Hill. Despite this, they are 1/5 to qualify from their group. Their next match takes place on Friday against New Zealand, for which the Three Lions are 2/7 to win. New Zealand are 7/1 while the draw is 7/2.

“We were less than impressed with Hope Powell’s side on Monday and the odds have lengthened considerably from 16/1 to 33/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
