CHELSEA 8/1 NOT TO WIN IN NEXT THREE GAMES

WILLIAM HILL are betting on when winless-in-three Chelsea will next manage to come out on top in a match – and make them 8/1 not to do so in their next three games. ‘Chelsea currently face a mini crisis, but if they can’t win any of their next three it will become a full blown crisis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE CUT THEIR ODDS FOR VILLAS-BOAS TO BE GONE BY 1ST GAME OF NEXT SEASON FROM 9/4 TO 7/4 – HE IS 2/5 STILL TO BE THERE.’Chelsea managers generally have a short shelf life if they don’t produce a trophy-winning season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Chelsea are 2/7 with Hills to win none of the four major trophies this season.

When Will Chelsea Next Win?
Blackburn (Away)4/9
Liverpool (Home)7/2
Bayer Leverkusen (Away)9/1
None Of These Games………..8/1

If John Terry Starts Against Blackburn Will He Finish The Game? Yes 1/10……No 11/2

TEVEZ TO START AGAIN FOR CITY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 6/5 that Carlos Tevez will start a competitive match for Man C before the end of the January transfer window, and 6/5 that he will not. ‘Mancini seems to be hinting that there could be a reconciliation, but how that would go down with fans remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TOON 33/1 TO TAKE 10+ POINTS FROM NEXT FOUR GAMES
NEWCASTLE’s stunning start to the Premier League season has seen manager Alan Pardew become a 10/1 shot to become LMA Manager of the Year with William Hill who make his striker Dember Ba 16/1 to end up top scorer in the division, and 11/4 to double his already impressive total of two Prem hat tricks before the season is out.
Newcastle now face a stern examination of their credentials as they face Everton, Man C, Man U and Chelsea in their next four matches and Hills offer 33/1 that they take 10 or more points from those games. ‘Now we will see whether Newcastle have reached these heights courtesy of the fixture list or belong their on merit. We expect them to end up between 7th and 10th – still a worthy achievement’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL TOON SPECIALS:
Newcastle to win Prem – 500/1; To finish in top 4 – 14/1; To be relegated – 33/1
Newcastle unbeaten in premier League this season? 80/1

What will Newcastle finishing position be?

EDEN ON THE MOVE

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on where sought after Lille midfielder Eden Hazard will end up when he leaves the club, probably at the end of this season – and make Chelsea 9/4 favourites to snap the Belgian up. ‘Arsenal are believed to covet M Eden but not everyone at Lille would like to see him end up at the Emirates, so they are only 7/2 second favourites in our market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make PSG 4/1 third favourites, with Real Madrid at 6/1; Inter/Man City 7/1; Bayern Munich 12/1; Liverpool 16/1.
