Hills offer Chelsea at 5/1 to win the title both this season and next, and spokesman Graham Sharpe said, ‘Chelsea will doubtless appeal against this decision and it may not be beyond them to find a way around any restriction on acquiring players, possibly via the loans system, so we can’t see it having a major effect on their title chances during this and next season’.
Chelsea are Even money with Hills to win none of the major trophies this season, and 150/1 to win all four.

WHO’LL START ENGLAND’S WORLD CUP QUALIFIER AGAINST CROATIA?
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether specific players will start England’s forthcoming World Cup qualifier against Croatia next week. ‘There are still a few positions which look to be up for grabs, and maybe a positive display against Slovenia will lead to a surprise start against Croatia for one or two players.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill: To start vs Croatia
Yes No
Crouch 7/4 2/5
Heskey 5/6 5/6
Beckham 8/13 6/5
Lennon 11/4 1/4
Wright Phillips 10/3 1/5
Lescott 5/6 5/6
Upson 5/6 5/6
