Manchester United ad Chelsea meet in what should be the first title shoot out of the season and William Hill make Manchester United the 5/6 favourites to win this clash, with Chelsea 7/2. The draw is offered at 12/5.

This fixture last season, almost proved to be the title decider and the match ups between these two over the course of the season may be vital in deciding the destination of the Premier League trophy and Hills offer 4/1 that Manchester United take six points off Chelsea this season, while their West London rivals are 9/1 to do likewise.

Chelsea are unbeaten at the moment but their young manager looks like his side will be up against it trying to maintain that at Old Trafford on Sunday, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres is 10/1 to open the scoring against Manchester United and 7/2 to score anytime against the Champions as his goal drought continues. Wayne Rooney has back to back Premier League hat-tricks and Hills make him 33/1 to get his third on Sunday.

Arsene In Trouble…8/1 To Be Next To Go, 9/4 To Go This Season

September 23, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsenal Goals, Arsene Wenger, Blackburn, First Glance, Greenside, Joe Crilly, London N22, New Faces, Odds, Pl, Premier League Manager, Premier Manager, Score, Season 1, Spokesman, Transfer Deadline, William Hill, Williamhill

Arsenals humbling at the hands of Blackburn have seen William Hill shorten his odds of NOT being at Arsenal on the last day of the season to 9/4. He is 1/3 to still be there. Arsene Wenger is back down to 8/1 to be the next manager to leave their club having drifted out to 12/1 on transfer deadline day.

Arsene brought in a number of players on transfer deadline day, intended to strengthen the side, but the new faces appear, at first glance, not to have done the trick and Wenger could be out on his Arsene very soon, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills offer 10/1 that Arsenal finish in the bottom half and having conceded another two own goals, Arsenal are 4/1 to score at least another five own goals this season. Arsenal are now far and away the Premier Leagues leakiest side and Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Own Goals Will Arsenal Score This Season: 13/2 None; 5/2 One; 5/2 Two; 9/2 Three; 10/1 Four; 4/1 Five or more

Wenger to be in charge on the last day of the season: 1/3 yes; 9/4 gone

8/1 Arsene Wenger to be next Premier League manager to go

Total Arsenal goals conceded in PL this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 55 or more

10/1 Arsenal to finish bottom half this season

Sir Alex Ferguson seemingly took offence at the line of questioning from Kenny Dalglishs daughter Kelly, after the match in Benfica and William Hill are offering 8/1 that the two bosses refuse to shake hands after their teams meet at Anfield on the 15th October. Hills also offer 33/1 that Fergie officially announces that he will not conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates following a Manchester United match.

Fergie is known to have very little time for any journalists that dare to irritate him with awkward questions, and it could well be that his rivals daughter may well have ticked that box on Wednesday evening, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

With the match between the two rivals a month away, Hills are offering 9/1 that Liverpool win both matches and 5/2 that United do. For both side to get a win each is 9/4.

How many points will Liverpool get against Manchester United? 9/1 Six; 11/2 four; 9/4 three; 15/2 two; 3/1 one; 5/2 none

Will Ferguson and Dalglish shake hands following the match at Anfield on Oct 15th? 1/20 yes; 8/1 no

Ferguson to announce that he will refuse to conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates during this season: 33/1

It was hardly a vintage night for British football in the Europa League but despite this, we think there could be a chance of an all British final this year said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Both Manchester United and Manchester City were held to draws in their opening Champions League matches and are 6/1 (United) and 10/1 (City) to win this years Champions League. Hills make United the 4/6 favourites of the two Manchester sides to progress further in the competition with City 11/10. The price of an all Manchester final has been pushed out slightly from 25/1 to 28/1.

While neither sides administered the hammering that we were expecting, they did avoid defeat in what were two potentially tricky ties and for this reason, their odds of winning the competition have remained largely the same, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ryan Giggs scored in his 16th Champions League campaign and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he scores in next years competition.

All Manchester Final 28/1

Giggs to score in next seasons Champions League 2/1

Man United 4/6

The Europa League group stages kick off on Thursday evening and William Hill make Tottenham the 5/4 favourites to be the British side to progress the furthest with Fulham 11/4. Spurs are the current 10/1 second favourites behind Paris St Germain to lift the trophy, although Hills are offering 2/1 that the winner comes from the Champions League. It would appear that Birmingham and Celtic have the toughest tasks of the British sides with them both being made odds on to fail to get through the group stages, both offered at 4/7 to exit at the first.

Despite being a lesser competition than the Champions League, the odds suggest that if some of the British teams play their strongest sides then they could well be major players this year, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
