Manchester City have been given permission to rename their stadium and William Hill think that current shirt sponsors Etihad are the front runners, offering 6/4 that they win the rights to rename Eastlands. The UAE Tourism Board, UAE Interact, are the 4/1 second favourites with Umbro the 10/1 third favourites.

You Bet City Will Be Gloved Up In Kiev

Liverpool go to Portugal to face Braga and William Hill are offering 5/4 that record signing, Andy Carroll, gets off the mark during the game. Braga conceded six during the Champions League against Arsenal; and Hills are offering 50/1 that Liverpool beat this and score seven or more. Liverpool are 6/5 to be the British team to progress furthest in the Europa League, while Manchester City are the 5/6 favourites to do so. Rangers are priced at 7/1. With three British sides in action on Thursday, Hills are offering Even money that there are more than three goals scored collectively between Rangers, Manchester City and Liverpool.

City are heading to the icy tundra of Kiev and Hills are offering 4/1 that 10 or all of Manchester City’s starting XI are wearing gloves when the match kicks off. City will be hoping their mercurial striker, Mario Ballotelli, will be on top form, yet Hills are offering 2/1 that his first action in the game will be a booking, while he is 6/4 to be subbed.

“Manchester City’s players can afford the best that handwear can offer and with temperatures plummeting in the Ukrainian capital, we expect that there will be a vast array of gloves on show,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea Getting Ever Closer…but When Will Torres Score?

Fernando Torres failed to find the net again although William Hill are offering 4/5 that he bags his first Chelsea goal at Stamford Bridge against Copenhagen next week. 7/1 is on offer for him to fail to find the net for the next five matches. Defeat left Blackpool dangling perilously over the relegation trapdoor and thus increased the probability of star man, Charlie Adam, leaving the club. Hills are offering 13/8 that he leaves for Tottenham in the Summer, while 5/2 is on offer for him to join the Kenny Dalglish revolution at Anfield.

“Torres looks more worth 50p than £50 million at the moment, but he is a quality forward but we are expecting him to take us for a small fortune when he does eventually score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Possibly staring with Copenhagen next week.”

Blackpool are only two points off relegation now and Hills have them as Even money (from 6/5) to be relegated at the end of the season, while Chelsea on the other hand have closed the gap on Manchester United and have been cut from 14/1 to 7/1 to retain their Premier League crown. “Chelsea are well and truly over their slump…write them off at your peril!”

Which Club Will Charlie Adam Be At On First Day Of Next Season: 13/8 Tottenham; 5/2 Liverpool; 5/1 Blackpool; 10/1 Manchester United; 16/1 German Club; 20/1 Spanish Club; 25/1 Italian Club

Fernando Torres First Chelsea Goal: 4/5 Copenhagen; 5/2 Manchester City; 5/1 Stoke; 8/1 Wigan; 12/1 West Brom; 7/1 None of the next five

Premier League Outright: 8/11 Manchester United; 7/4 Arsenal; 7/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 200/1 Tottenham

Premier League Relegation: 2/7 Wigan; 1/1 Blackpool; 6/5 Wolves; 11/8 West Ham; 7/4 West Brom; 9/4 Birmingham; 3/1 Blackburn; 10/1 BAR
