Could Strikers Be On Their Ways Out Of North London?

Jermaine Defoe is reportedly the subject of some interest on Merseyside and William Hill make him 6/1 to join Liverpool this January, although he is 1/4 to remain at Spurs. Across North London, Arsene Wenger is under increasing pressure to bring success to the Emirates, but despite this, he is 66/1 to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. Hills are offering 5/2, however that Wenger is no longer Arsenal manager come the first day of next season. Robin van Persie contract expires in 2013 but despite this, Hills do not think that Arsenal will cash in on their prize asset just yet. He is 2/5 to still be an Arsenal player on the first day of the 2012/13 Premier League season.

“Arsenal have not looked their usual selves this year but we think that both van Persie and Wenger will stay put in order to help their push for Europe in the second half of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsene Wenger’s conqueror from Sunday, Brendan Rodgers, is 5/1 second favourite to be voted LMA manager of the year behind 5/2 favourite Roberto Mancini. Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul Lambert are the 13/2 joint third favourites.

Gary Cahill’s long protracted move to Chelsea, was finally completed on Monday and William Hill make him 11/10 to start England’s first Euro 2012 match. He is 20/1 to start the first goal of Chelsea’s match against Norwich this weekend and 7/1 to score anytime.

Gareth Bale will undoubtedly be Wales’ star man and William Hill are offering 14/1 that he wins Man Of The Match on Saturday. Former captain, Craig Bellamy looks set to start and Hills are offering 11/2 that either he or Gareth Bale open the scoring.

Double Hat-trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals…tractor Boys Keane To ‘swich Manager

Double Hat-Trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals

Dimitar Berbatov joined a select group of strikers who have bagged five goals in just one Premier League game and William Hill are offering 14/1 that five or more are scored by any player this season. For any player to bag a double hat-trick or more this season is 33/1 with Hills. Berbatov is now the 7/2 joint favourite with Carlos Tevez to be the Premier League’s leading scorer.

“Berbatov was absolutely outstanding on Saturday and his achievement came just a year and three days after Jermaine Defoe scored five against Wigan. With the ever increasing importance being placed on goal difference, it could well be sooner rather than later that we see a double hat-trick,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tractor Boys Keane To ‘Swich Manager

Roy Keane is facing a difficult task winning friends at Ipswich after his side slumped to a disappointing derby defeat. William Hill are now offering 1/7 that he has left his position by the start of next season. The Tractor Boys are facing two difficult tasks this week in the shape of West Brom and Swansea and Keane is 7/2 to have gone by midnight on Sunday which, coincidentally is the same price as Ipswich losing both games.

“Despite a promising start to the season, Keane’s side appear to have been treading water of late. By his own admission, he said he would stand down after two years if he did not reach the Premier League and it looks like he will have to honour that promise,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Football Specials:

14/1 Five Goal Premier League Salvo scored this season (five or more)
33/1 Premier League Double Hat-Trick scored this season (five or more)

Premier League Leading Scorer: 7/2 Carlos Tevez; 7/2 Dimitar Berbatov; 9/2 Didier Drogba; 7/1 Fernando Torres; 12/1 Andrew Carroll; 14/1 Darren Bent; 16/1 Marouane Chamakh; 16/1 Florent Malouda; 20/1 Wayne Rooney; 20/1 Asamoah Gyan; 25/1 Nicolas Anelka; 25/1 Rafael Van der Vaart; 25/1 Johan Elmander; 33/1 BAR

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what the final average tally for goals per game in Premiership matches will be this season, and offer 11/1 that it will be over 2.9 per game.’There have been goals galore in the Prem so far this season but we think the ultimate average per game is likely to be between 2.61 and 2.7, so we make that range our 6/4 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

2.50 – 2.6 4/1
2.61 – 2.7 6/4
2.71 -2.8 2/1

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premiership goals Arsenal will score this season and offer 5/6 80 or more; 5/6 79 or fewer.

The Gunners are 14/1 with Hills to score 100 or more Prem goals. ‘It has been goals galore for the Gunners at home and if they can keep them flowing 100 should be within their capabilities’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With the Arsenal-Blackburn match clocking up a new highest aggregate of the Prem season so far, 8 goals, Hills offer 2/5 that no game this season will produce 9 or more; 5/2 that 9 will be the highest aggregate of the Prem season; 9/1 that 10 will be the highest aggregate; 20/1 that 11 or more will be highest aggregate.
