Hatem Ben Arfa scored one of the goals of the season for Newcastle against Bolton on Monday although William Hill think that his effort still falls some way behind Peter Crouchs effort vs Manchester City. Crouch is 4/7 to win Match of the Days annual Goal of the season competition, with Ben Arfa 6/1. Hills also offer 15/8 about any other goal winning the accolade.
With Ben Arfa and a couple of screamers from Robin van Persie this season, there is nothing to say it is a Crouchy certainty, but he has set quite the benchmark, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
With rumours suggesting that the current Match of the Day dream team of Lineker, Lawrenson and Hansen may be squeezed out to make way for younger blood, Hills are offering 7/1 that none of them return to the studio next season, it is however, 4/9 that they all return.
2/1 For Balotelli AND Mancini To Have Left By Next Season
Hills are offering 2/1 that both Mancini and Balotelli will have left Manchester City by the start of next season, 1/1 that just one of them will still be there and 9/4 that they are both still there.
They also offer 4/7 that Mancini will still be there (5/4 he has gone) and 8/13 that Balotelli has gone (6/5 he is still there).
Mancini has shown his forgiving side in dealing with Carlos Tevez, but Balotelli may well have pushed his manager over the edge, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Read moreWILL CROUCH STOOP TO CONQUER IN GOAL OF SEASON AWARD?
PETER CROUCH’S stunning strike against Manchester City is a 6/4 chance with William Hill to win Match of the Day’s Goal of the Season award. ‘We think it will take something special to stop Crouch lifting the Award, but there are plenty of games still to be played, and we’re also offering 1/ 2 that someone beats him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
PARDS 9/1 FOR BOSS OF YEAR
ALAN PARDEW is 9/1 with William Hill to be voted LMA Manager of the Year this season. Hills make Brendan Rodgers 3/1 favourite and also offer 5/1 Fergie; 6/1 Lambert; 7/1 Moyes; 9/1 Mancini; Pardew; 12/1 Redknapp. Others on request. ‘Several managers have been outstanding so far this season and we could see one of the less feted bosses taking the honour’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS NOW MAKE NEWCASTLE 4/9 TO FINISH ABOVE LIVERPOOL.
Who will finish higher in the PL 2011/12? Liverpool 13/8Newcastle 4/9
T4 Finish – 1/12 Arsenal; 1/6 Spurs; 2/1 Chelsea; 16/1 Newcastle; 40/1 Liverpool.
Chelsea finished their draw against Spurs with both Torres and Drogba on the pitch. William Hill are offering 1/2 that Drogba scores more Premier League goals than Fernando Torres between now and the end of the season (6/4 vice versa). Drogbas long term future at Chelsea is in doubt and he is 5/6 to be there on the first day of next season, the same price to have left by then. Despite his poor recent form, Hills offer 4/11 that Torres is still at Chelsea come the first day of next season -2/1 that he has left.
Robert Mancini is now 2/5 still to be in charge at Manchester City on the first day of next season, 7/4 not to. Another under pressure manager, following defeat by struggling Wigan is Kenny Dalglish now down to 5/2 to suffer that fate.
Temporary boss, Di Matteo has only been defeated once since taking over at Chelsea and is 11/4 to become permanent. Jose Mourinho is the 9/4 favourite with Pep Guardiola at 7/2.
Chelsea are now 10/1 to overhaul 4/7 favourites, Arsenal, and 6/4 Spurs in the battle to be top London club, while they are 15/8 to make the top four.
Wigans shock win shook up the relegation odds. Wolves are 8/11 from Evens to finish bottom, and can be backed at 4/1 to survive. Wigan and QPR are both 1/ 4 to be relegated and 11/4 to survive with Bolton 11/8 and 8/15, Blackburn 9/4 and 1/ 3.

********************************WILLIAM HILL WEEKEND PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS*****************************************************
1000/1 DEJA VILLA?
Aston Villa shocked Chelsea with a 2-1 home Premier League victory last season in which centre backs Richard Dunne and James Collins were their scorers with Didier Drogba getting the visitors’ reply.
William Hill are offering 1000/1 about the same score with the same scorers this weekend.’Maybe there will be deja vu at Villa Park’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS….LAST GAME ON SATURDAY MOTD
William Hill believe that the Wolves-West Ham and Bolton-Stoke matches are likely to scrap it out to be the LAST game shown on Match of the Day this weekend. ‘We’ll be staggered if the last game is not one of these two’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Wolves v West Ham

Bolton v Stoke

Newcastle v Wigan

Fulham v Tottenham

DOES DANNY HAVE A POINT – WILL HE SEE RED HIMSELF ?
WITH Danny Murphy pointing the finger at Blackburn, Stoke and Woklves, William Hill are betting on how many red cards those three clubs will clock up between them by the end of the Premier League season and make them 13/10 to end up with a total of 11 or more, whereas Murphy’s Fulham are 6/5 to receive no more than one all season and he is 10/1 to be red-carded himself. ‘Murphy’s outspoken comments have certainly put the focus on the disciplinary records of the three clubs he mentioned so we’re betting on their red card records’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**Hills make Murphy 9/4 to be carded aginst Spurs this weekend.

WAYNE 8/1 TO QUIT UNITED
Following Wayne Rooney’s recent comments, bookmakers William Hill are offering 5/2 that Alex Ferguson does not start him against West Brom at the weekend and 8/1 that he is not at Utd come the first day of next season. Man Utd are the 8/1 favourites to score the fastest goal this weekend and Owen Hargreaves, who is making his latest come back from injury, is 8/1 to score at any time.
‘These are troubled times for Rooney – he’s 13/2 not to start England’s next Euro qualifier, and it may be that he’ll have to make a clean break from United to get his career back on track’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills: Will Rooney Start Against West Brom?: 2/7 Yes; 5/2 No
If He Starts, Will He Finish The Game?: 5/6 Yes; 5/6 No
Rooney To Still Be At Man United On The First Day Of Next Season: 1/20 Yes; 8/1 No
What Will Happen First? 4/7 Rooney To Leave Man Utd; 5/4 Rooney To Get Divorced
WILLIAM HILL also make Wayne Rooney 13/2 to miss out on starting England’s next Euro 2012 qualifier, after yet another mediocre display in an England shirt. ‘England will hope Rooney’s club performances have shown him to be back to his best by the time the next qualifier comes around, or the striking positions could be well and truly up for grabs’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
2/1 MERSEYSIDE DERBY RED CARD
Merseyside Derbies are usually feisty affairs and William Hill are offering odds of 2/1 that there is a red card shown during the game. Liverpool, who go into Sunday’s game behind Everton and in the relegation zone, are 4/6 to finish the season in a higher league position than their Merseyside rivals. Hills are also offering 4/1 that Liverpool take all six points from Everton this season, while the blue side of Liverpool is 6/1 to take maximum points in the two grudge games.
“Liverpool desperately need to give their fans something to cheer about and it could well come in the form of victory over their rivals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
Hill’s Derby Day Odds:
11/8 Everton; 2/1 Liverpool; 11/5 Draw
Will There Be A Red Card In The Derby Game: 2/1 Yes
How Many Points Will Liverpool Take Off Everton This Season: 4/1 Six; 9/4 Four; 2/1 Three; 8/1 Two; 3/1 One; 6/1 None
How Many Points Will Everton Take Off Liverpool This Season: 6/1 Six; 3/1 Four; 2/1 Three; 8/1 Two; 9/4 One; 4/1 None

WILL MOTD INTRODUCE NEW TALKING HEADS?
WITH Match of the Day coming under some criticism for the recent quality of its punditry, William Hill have opened a book on a number of potential replacements for the existing panel, offering odds about whether they will be invited to guest/appear on the show before the end of the season. And Hills reckon that the ever newsworthy Robbie Savage is the most likely to turn up on the sofa – quoting him at 5/2 to do so. ‘You’d imagine that if the powers that be at MOTD are looking to audition for new pundits the best way of doing so would be by trying them out on the programme – so we’ve made Savage favourite, closely followed by Martin O’Neill and Phil Brown, both of whom would appear to have few other things to be doing if asked!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
