Chelsea and Arsenal’s leaky defences will be put to the test when they face Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund respectively. Chelsea are 7/5 slight favourites to concede more goals than Arsenal, whose porous defence is 13/8 to ship more than the Blues. Hills make Valencia, who take on Genk, 11/4 favourites to be the highest scoring team during Wednesday’s Champions League matches,

David Beckham is now almost out of contract at Los Angeles and William Hill make PSG his most likely destination at 10/11. Beckham has not ruled out staying at Los Angeles and Hills offer 4/1 that he stays at the Galaxy. Despite seemingly ruling out a move back to the Premier League, Tottenham are the 7/1 third favourites to bag Becks while Arsenal are 8/1.

“Becks looks like he could take in another of the world’s great cities and the Posh brood will certainly fit in amongst the chic boutiques of Paris,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andre Villas Boas has reportedly set his sights on Gary Cahill to bolster the increasingly wobbly looking Chelsea back line although despite this, William Hill are offering 5/6 that Cahill is still at Bolton come the closing of the January transfer window. He is 7/2 to be playing for Chelsea and 6/1 Arsenal.

“Chelsea definitely need strengthening in defence although whether Bolton will let go of their prize asset in the midst of a relegation battle is another matter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
