26 Hours Without A Goal: How Long Before Torres Bags Again?

5/1 TITLE IS DECIDED BY GOAL DIFFERENCE

Fernando Torres finally scored after 26 hours for Chelsea at the weekend and William Hill are offering odds on how long it will be until he nets again. He is Even money to fail to score within two hours of play, although he is 7/2 to score within the next hour. Torres could well go on a scoring run now and Hills make him 8/11 to outscore Andy Carroll between now and the end of the season and he is 2/9 to outscore Carlos Tevez in the same time frame.

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that his side’s 5-0 win against Wolves was vital due to the fact that he thinks that the title may be decided by goal difference. William Hill are offering 5/1 that he is correct and that the title is settled one way or the other by goal difference.

“This title run-in could be one of the closest ever and odds of 5/1 suggest that goal difference may be the deciding factor,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite Sunderland’s recent good form, William Hill think they have left their charge up the table too late and make Newcastle 1/10 to win bragging rights in the North East by finishing higher than their rivals (Sunderland are 11/2 to do so). They are 8/15 to finish in the top half of the table, something that would have seemed preposterous when Martin O’Neill took over the club (they are 11/8 to finish in the bottom half of the league). Blackburn have shown recent signs of improvement and they are out to 2/1 to be relegated (4/11 to stay up).

Mick McCarthy to be reinstated as Wolves manager this season 8/1. ‘Although they only had ten players for much of the game Wolves capitulated against United and TC’s record suggests he is a man who would rather be doing the job he used to do alongside Mick McCarthy. We think it is unlikely but not impossible that Mick could come back to inspire a bid to avoid relegation,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Wolves are currently 1/6 to relegated with Hills, 7/2 to stay up, but 6/5 favourites to finish bottom.

How long until Torres’ next goal: 7/2 0-60 minutes; 5/2 61-120 minutes; 5/1 121-180 minutes; 1/1 180 minutes or more

Who will score more EPL goals between now until the end of the season:
2/9 Torres; 3/1 Tevez
8/11 Torres; 1/1 Carroll

Who will finish higher in the league: 1/10 Newcastle; 11/2 Sunderland

Sunderland finishing position: 8/15 top half; 11/8 bottom half

5/1 Premier League title to be won on goal difference

Premier League relegation: 1/6 Wolves; 1/4 Wigan; 2/5 QPR; 5/4 Bolton; 2/1 Blackburn; 33/1 BAR

Premier League to stay up: 4/11 Blackburn; 4/7 Bolton; 7/4 QPR; 11/4 Wigan; 7/2 Wolves

To finish bottom: 6/5 Wolves; 15/8 Wigan; 5/2 QPR; 9/1 Bolton; 14/1 Blackburn

Pass Master Backed For England Top Job…you Bet Tevez To Play Again For City!

Pep Guardiola has been backed in from 50/1 to 10/1 third favourite to become the next England boss with William Hill. Despite the plunge in his odds, Harry Redknapp remains the 4/11 favourite to get the gig on a permanent basis.

“With Barcelona losing at the weekend and falling 10 points behind Real Madrid in La Liga, Guardiola could well be on his way from the Nou Camp,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “And there would be no England fan that would complain should the national side start playing like Barca.”

Carlos Tevez has now been backed in from 5/6 to 1/2 to play at any point during the season for Manchester City (6/4 not to). “Having originally been offered at 7/4, it has been pretty much one way traffic, with punters thinking that Tevez may be offered yet another chance by Roberto Mancini,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Thierry Henry scored a hat-trick for Arsenal against Inter Milan at the San Siro nine years ago and Hills offer 50/1 that he parts the Gooners having scored three goals on Wednesday. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has been on top form over the course of the last few weeks and William Hill are offering 11/8 that he makes the Euro 2012 squad (8/15).

Arsenal have won on their previous two visits to the San Siro and Hills offer 11/4 that they win again on Wednesday. 5/1 is offered for them to win with Robin van Persie to score. AC Milan are 11/10 to win and the draw is 21/10.

Next Permanent England manager: 4/11 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Stuart Pearce; 10/1 Pep Guardiola; 11/1 Guus Hiddink; 12/1 Roy Hodgson; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 Martin O’Neill; 25/1 Arsene Wenger; 25/1 Rafa Benitez; 33/1 BAR

Arsenal 7/4 For Silverware Next Season…but Will Wenger Be In Charge?

Hills offer 5/4 that Arsene Wenger has left Arsenal come the first game of next season, although he is 4/7 to still be there.

Should Wenger depart the Emirates, Pep Guardiola is the 7/1 favourite to take over, although Remi Garde is 10/1 with Martin O’Neill, Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink all offered at 14/1.

“Arsenal are now almost six years without a trophy and although the odds suggest that there may be success next season, it is uncertain as to whether Wenger will be the man in charge should that happen,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent Arsenal Manager: 7/1 Pep Guardiola; 10/1 Remi Garde; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 14/1 Guus Hiddink; 16/1 Laurent Blanc; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 BAR

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 9/2 Jose Mourinho; 6/1 Pep Guardiola; 9/1 Fabio Capello; 12/1 Guus Hiddink; 16/1 Didier Deschamps; 20/1 BAR

*only EPL/FA Cup/ League Cup/Europa or Champions League Count

Arsene Wenger still at Arsenal next season: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

David Beckham could well have an opportunity to play again for England and Hills are offering 16/1 that he is called up to the Euro 2012 playing squad by whoever takes over and he is 7/1 to sit on the bench in any role.

“Harry Redknapp is a big admirer of Becks and should he bag the England job, as is widely expected, Beckham could well sit on the bench or even better play again for England,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Kenny Dalglish has left Liverpool by the start of next season (1/2 vice versa).

Will Kenny Dalglish be at Liverpool on first game of next season? 1/2 yes 6/4 no

Beckham to be part of England 2012 playing squad – 16/1
Beckham to be on the bench for England at Euro 2012 in any role – 7/1

When Will City Lose At Home?

TOTTENHAM HAVE THE SPURS TO PUSH MANCHESTER ALL THE WAY

A win for Manchester City after a tough couple of games has seen William Hill cut their odds of winning the league to 8/13. Spurs sneaked a victory at home to West Brom and they are 10/1 third favourites to win the League. Sunderland continued their fine form under Martin O’Neill and Hills make them 6/4 to finish higher than Newcastle in the league.

Taking both Manchester sides out of the equation, Spurs are odds-on at 8/11 to win the league.

“Spurs played well against West Brom, but struggled to find the breakthrough,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They are grinding out results like this though and they are showing that they have the resilience to push the Manchester sides all the way.”

City once again avoided defeat at home and have not lost at the Etihad since losing to Everton on 20th December 2010 and Hills make them odds on, at 10/11 to avoid defeat in their next five games, although they are 10/3 to lose to Spurs on the 22nd January.

Sergio Aguero Bagged himself a goal and edged closer to Robin van Persie in the race to win the golden boot. He is the 5/2 second favourite behind the Dutchman who is miles ahead at 5/4.

Wigan were thumped at home by Sunderland and they are 2/1 favourites to finish bottom of the Premier League and 4/9 favourites to get relegated at the end of the season.

Premier League Outright: 8/13 Manchester City; 7/4 Manchester United; 10/1 Tottanham; 50/1 Chelsea; 66/1 Arsenal; 100/1 Liverpool

Premier League without Manchester sides: 8/11 Tottenham; 11/4 Chelsea; 4/1Arsenal; 9/1 Liverpool; 150/1 Everton; 150/1 Newcastle
