You Bet Europa Joy Beckons For Bolton/stoke Victor!

William Hill are betting on which British teams will be joining Birmingham in the Europa League next season and make Tottenham their 4/9 to favourites. Stoke and Bolton are potentially playing for a Europa spot on Sunday, Hills offer 5/6 about the pair but Manchester City are 3/1, Liverpool 6/1 and Everton 10/1.

“Tottenham look most likely to secure a spot in the Europa League next season through league position, but a whole host of permutations have blown the race for the final spot wide open,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With three Portuguese sides still in the Europa League (and two of them holding very comfortable leads), William Hill are offering 2/7 that a team from Portugal end up as the winner of the tournament with any other nation offered at 5/2. Three of the Europa League Quarter Final first leg games produced at least five goals Hills make the PSV vs Benfica the 9/4 favourite to be the highest scoring game, with Twente vs Villarreal the 5/2 second favourite.

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.

Manchester City/D. Kiev:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Man City; 7/1 Dynamo Kiev; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/11 Dynamo Kiev; 2/1 Manchester City

Liverpool/Braga:

16/1 Liverpool to score six or more
2/1 Andy Carroll to score a header

City Favourites For Europa After Easy Victory…tractor Boys Ease Pressure On Keane

Manchester City had an easy victory tonight and in the process secured their route into the knock-out stages of the Europa Cup. William Hill make them 9/2 favourites to win the competition. They are also 8/11 to get further in the competition than the only other English side left, Liverpool. The Reds are 2/1 to outdo City.

We now have our four semi finalists for the Carling Cup and who would have thought that Ipswich would reach that round? The Tractor Boys have eased some of the immediate pressure on their manager, Roy Keane by getting that far and his odds to still be there at the start of next season have shortened from 7/2 to 3/1. Ipswich are 12/1 outsiders to win the competition made all the tougher by the fact that they have Arsenal in the next round. The Gunners are 4/7 to win the final at Wembley.

Carling Cup Outright: 4/7 Arsenal; 7/2 Birmingham; 4/1 West Ham; 12/1 Ipswich

BENITEZ BACKED AGAIN TO BE FIRST PREM BOSS OUT
AFTER LIVERPOOL’s second Premiership defeat of the season, William Hill have cut their odds for Rafa Benitez to be the first boss of the Premiership season to leave his club from 9/2 to 5/2 second favourite. ‘There was speculation at the weekend that Rafa may not have a long term future at Anfield, and punting interest in him to be the first boss of the season to go has been feverish after the Villa defeat’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make him 6/4 to be out by the end of the season, 1/ 2 still to be with the club when they kick off their final match.
FOLLOWING THEIR defeat by Villa, their second of the season, Liverpool are now 13/2 fourth favourites with William Hill to win the Premiership title, and Hills have opened a book on where they will finish, quoting them at 5/1 runners-up; 7/2 3rd; 11/4 4th; 13/8 5th or lower.
‘Although it is only early days, Liverpool have already lost as many times as they did all last season, so they have it all to do if they are to remain serious title contenders’; said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Chelsea are Hill’s title favourites at 11/8, with Manchester United 9/4 ; Arsenal 9/2; Liverpool 13/2; Man City 10/1; Spurs 25/1.; Villa 175/1.

WILLIAM HILL; FIRST PREM MANAGER TO GO THIS SEASON:
