Drogba’s Gain Means More Torres Pain…11/2 Torres Not To Net In 2011

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Didier Drogba’s future may hang in the balance with his contract running out at the end of the season but his recent good form has seen William Hill make him 5/6 to still be at Chelsea on the first day of next season. He is currently keeping £50 million man, Fernando Torres, out of the team and while Drogba is 4/9 to start Chelsea’s next game, Torres is odds-on, at 4/6 to be sat on the bench.

“If Drogba continues his current vein of form, Torres could find it very difficult to get back in the team and Villas Boas could find it hard to turn down Drogba’s request for a new contract,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

If Torres’ output does not improve considerably, there is a chance that he could be on his way and Hills offer 9/4 that he is not at Chelsea come the start of next season. He is 11/2 to fail to score again in 2011 and 16/1 to never score a Premier League goal for Chelsea. Another player who has found himself on the fringes of the team at present is Frank Lampard and despite having 18 months to go on his contract, he is 6/5 to be elsewhere come the start of the 2012/13 season.

The pressure seems to have lifted off AVB’s shoulders after two good results and he is 4/6 to still be at Chelsea next season.

To start vs Wigan:

Drogba: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

Torres: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no

Fernando Torres’ next Premier League goal: 1/1 Wigan (A); 7/2 Tottenham (A); 4/1 Fulham (H); 8/1 Aston Villa (H); 11/2 Fail to score again in 2011

16/1 Torres to never score for Chelsea in the Premier League again

To be at Chelsea on first day of next season:

5/6 Drogba (5/6 no)
1/5 Terry (10/3 no)
8/13 Lampard (6/5 no)
1/3 Torres (9/4 no)

4/6 Andre Villas Boas (11/10 no)

Topsy Turvey Torres Tipped To Start Tomorrow

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Fernando Torres was axed by Vincente Del Bosque for Spain’s victory midweek and Andre Villas-Boas has claimed he will not hesitate to drop the striker should his poor club form continue. Bookies, William Hill are offering odds on which will be the first game that he finds himself on the bench (or worse). He is 9/2 to miss Saturday’s match against Sunderland and 11/2 to miss the match against Leverkusen midweek. Torres is 14/1 to fail to start any of the next three games.

“Torres is certainly under pressure to start scoring, but the odds certainly indicate that he will be given a few more starts in order to find his form,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also betting on how many Premiership goals Torres will get this season and make the favourite between six and 10 at 2/1. The days when Torres used to score 20 plus goals a season seem a long way away at the moment, but he is 8/1 to bag over 20 this season. He is 11/10 to get his first Premier League goal of the season against Sunderland and 7/2 that it comes against Manchester United.

Next Premier League Goal: 11/10 Sunderland; 7/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Swansea; 9/1 Bolton; 14/1 Everton; 4/1 None of these five fixtures

Total Premier League Starts: 10/11 21-30; 7/4 Over 30; 4/1 11-20; 12/1 under 10

Total Premier League Goals: 2/1 6-10; 11/4 0-5; 3/1 11-15; 9/2 16-20; 8/1 20+

To Start

Vs Sunderland: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Vs Leverkusen: 1/10 yes; 11/2 no

Vs Manchester United: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

14/1 Start none of these matches

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

25/1 CHELSEA NOT TO CONCEDE UNTIL NOVEMBER!

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Chelsea will eventually concede a Premier League goal this season – and make them 11/10 to do so in their next game at West Ham – but 25/1 not to do so before November. ‘Having made a perfect start to the defence of their title, Chelsea are unlikely to ease off any time soon, but with City and Arsenal to play in their next four games they’ll do well to avoid conceding during that run of matches’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Chelsea 16/1 to stay unbeaten all season.

**When will Chelsea next concede a Premier League goal:

West Ham A….11/10
Blackpool H..7/2
Man City A…2/1
Arsenal H…11/2
Aston Villa A…20/1
Wolves H…66/1
Blackburn A…..80/1
No Premier league goal conceded by the end of October25/1

Matches must be played in the order listed.

**HILLS….Chelsea to remain unbeaten during the Premier League season 16/1
Man Utd to remain unbeaten during the Premier League season 20/1
Arsenal to remain unbeaten during the Premier League season 25/1

BERBATOV 9/4 TO OUTSCORE ROONEY

WILLIAM HILL offer 9/4 that Berbatov will end the season with more Premier League goals to his credit than colleague Wayne Rooney, who is currently 1-2 behind, but is 1/3 favourite to win their private battle. ‘Wayne is off and running with a penalty and most will expect him to overhaul Berbatov fairly rapidly and certainly to finish ahead on league goals by the end of the campaign.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
