Di Matteo 11/4 For Permanent Gig…drogba 1/2 To Be More Prolific Than Torres

Chelsea arguably had the better of their game against Spurs, although they could not find a way through, despite finishing the match with both Torres and Drogba on the pitch. William Hill are offering 1/2 that Drogba scores more Premier League goals than Fernando Torres between now and the end of the season (6/4 vice versa).

Drogba’s future is uncertain with offers for his services coming from around the globe and William Hill agree, making him 5/6 to be at Chelsea on the first day of next season and the same price for him to have left by that time. Despite his poor recent form, Hills offer 4/11 that Torres is still at Chelsea come the first day of next season (2/1 that he has left).

Di Matteo has only been defeated once since taking over at Chelsea and William Hill are offering 11/4 that he becomes the next permanent Chelsea boss. Jose Mourinho is the 9/4 favourite with Pep Guardiola 7/2 third favourite.

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 9/4 Jose Mourinho; 11/4 Roberto Di Matteo; 7/2 Pep Guardiola; 8/1 Joachim Low; 8/1 Rafa Benitez; 10/1 David Moyes; 11/1 Fabio Capello; 12/1 BAR

Who will score more before now and the end of the season: 1/2 Drogba; 6/4 Torres

Will Drogba still be at Chelsea at the start of next season: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Will Torres still be at Chelsea at the start of next season: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

Bent 11/4 For Euros Squad, Gerrard 4/1 To Quit After Tournament

Darren Bent thinks that he will be fit enough to make the Euros but William Hill do not agree, offering 1/4 he fails to make the squad (11/4 to make it) and 1/9 that he fails to start England’s first match against France (5/1 he does).

Stuart Pearce is keeping his cards close to his chest, refusing to name his captain until tomorrow and William Hill are offering Even money that whoever wears the armband against Holland, does so for England’s first match of the Euros against France (8/11 not to). Steven Gerrard is one of those potentially in line to captain England tomorrow night although his should he get the gig, it could only be a short term arrangement with Hills offering 4/1 that he does not play another game for England after the Euros (1/7 that he does).

“Gerrard has hinted that the Euros could be his final hurrah, but should he guide the side to victory, he could lead the side to Rio in 2014,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

You Bet Guardiola To Pep Up His Cv With Chelsea Job

The gamble on Harry Redknapp to be the next Chelsea manager has lost momentum somewhat, opening the door once again for Guus Hiddink. Redknapp is the favourite for the Chelsea gig at 6/4, but Hiddink has been backed in to 2/1 from 9/2 yesterday following an early morning gamble on the Turkey boss. Pep Guardiola has been well backed also, in from 7/1 to 5/2 since yesterday. Marco van Basten, however, has gone the other way, drifting from 5/2 second favourite to 4/1.

“The real money in the last 24 hours has been for Hiddink and Guardiola. Where the latter is concerned, it appears our punters think Guardiola would like to Pep up his CV with a new challenge following all his success at Barcelona,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Chelsea Manager:

6/4 Harry Redknapp; 2/1 Guus Hiddink; 5/2 Pep Guardiola; 4/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Andre Vilas-Boas; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Frank Rijkaard; 25/1 BAR
