Big Boys Beware Of Carling Cupsets

The Carling Cup third round kicks off this week with a number of tasty ties taking place over Tuesday and Wednesday. With the giant killing nature of the competition, William Hill are offering 7/4 that a non Premier League side gets to the final and 6/1 that there is a non Premier League winner of the competition. With a maximum of 11 Premier League clubs able to progress through to the next round, Hills offer 7/2 that there are eleven Premier League sides in the hat for the fourth round. An all Premier League final is offered at 2/5.

“There will undoubtedly be a few lower league clubs that will fancy their chances against the second string sides of the big boys and there is the potential for an upset or two,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly

Premier League Latest: Arsenal Gunning For Fifth As United Odds On To Stay Unbeaten Longest

Arsene Wenger has made no secret of the fact that his Arsenal side is struggling and William Hill reckon the Gunners will miss out on Champions League football next season. Hills have them at 8/15 to finish 5th or sixth this season while their odds of a top four finish is 9/4. They are 40/1 to win the league and 100/1 to be relegated. Arsene Wenger is 9/4 to have left Arsenal by the end of the season and 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his job.

Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season and are 1/16 to end the season with no silverware.

“Arsenal’s form at the moment is nowhere near the high standards that they have set over the past few years and Nasri and Fabregas appear justified in having left the Gunners in search of silverware,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

In stark contrast to Arsenal’s shaky start, United are five for five this season and are 1000/1 to win every single game this season and 10/1 to remain undefeated all season. They are odds on for the first time this season to win the league, at 4/6 while their cross city rivals are 5/2 to do so. Hills offer 6/4 that Manchester United win the league with City in second while it is 3/1 for City 1st and Utd 2nd.

Wayne Rooney is 13/8 to win the golden boot this season, with Sergio Aguero 11/4.

After the weekend’s matches, there are now only four unbeaten sides in the Premier League and William Hill make Manchester United the 2/5 favourites of the four to remain undefeated for the greatest number of matches. City are 2/1, while Newcastle are 16/1 and Villa 25/1.

Arsenal finishing position: 40/1 winner; 9/4 top four; 8/15 5th or 6th; 6/1 7th – 10th; 10/1 11th-17th; 100/1 relegated

Last team to lose in EPL: 2/5 Man Utd; 2/1 Man City; 16/1 Newcastle; 25/1 Aston Villa

1000/1 Utd to win every match this season

10/1 Utd to remain undefeated all season

Arsenal goals conceded this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 over 55

First Premier League manager to go: 4/6 Steve Kean; 9/2 Steve Bruce; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 9/1 Alan Pardew; 10/1 Neil Warnock; 12/1 David Moyes; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Mick McCarthy; 20/1 BAR

Premier League forecasts: 6/4 Utd/City; 3/1 City/United; 4/1 Utd/Chelsea; 8/1 Chelsea/Utd; 16/1 City/Chelsea; 25/1 Chelsea/City

Goalless Draw Signals Relegation Scrap More Likely Than Lofty Expectations

Following the 0-0 draw between QPR and Newcastle, William Hill are offering 25/1 (QPR) and 12/1 (Newcastle) respectively that the sides qualify for Europe this season. Hills offer 9/4 that QPR are relegated this season and 7/1 that Newcastle are. QPR are 1/3 to stay up, while Newcastle are 1/16. Newcastle have been cut to 80/1 for a top four finish with QPR offered at 200/1.

“The result indicates a dull, goalless draw but in reality it was anything but,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It has shown us that both sides will have a lot to say within the league but would have to be considered more as relegation fodder than European contenders.”

Joey Barton made his debut for QPR and William Hill offer 4/1 that he scores six or more goals for the Royals this season and he is 1/2 to avoid a red card all season.

William Hill Odds:

Joey Barton Premier League Red Cards 2011/12: ½ none; 5/2 one; 9/2 one

Joey Barton Premier League Goals 2011/12: 2/1 0-1; 2/1 2-3; 5/2 4-5; 4/1 6+

Qualify for Europe: 12/1 Newcastle; 25/1 QPR

Relegation: 4/7 Swansea; 4/6 Norwich; 5/4 Blackburn; 15/8 Wigan; 9/4 QPR; 11/2 Bolton; 6/1 BAR

Top 4 Finish: 80/1 Newcastle; 80/1 Fulham; 100/1 West Brom; 150/1 West Brom; 150/1 Wolves; 200/1 QPR; 200/1 BAR

To Stay Up: 5/4 Swansea; 11/10 Norwich; 4/7 Blackburn; 2/5 Wigan; 1/3 QPR; 1/10 BAR

William Hill Premier League Latest

LAST TO WIN/LAST TO LOSE

Blackburn’s failure to win at Craven Cottage means that they, along with hosts Fulham, remain as one of the five teams in the Premier League still to register a victory. Hills offer 23/10 that Blackburn are the last side in the division to get three points, while Fulham are 11/2 to do so. Swansea are the 21/10 favourites.

“It will start to get worrying for those teams at the bottom if they go much longer without a victory and every week, the relegation odds for those sides involved get shorter and shorter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At the other end of the table, there are six sides who are yet to be beaten, and Manchester United are 6/5 to go the longest without defeat. Manchester City are 2/1 with Chelsea 9/2.

Last team to lose a Prem match 2011/12: 6/5 Manchester United; 2/1 Manchester City; 9/2 Chelsea; 8/1 Aston Villa; 9/1 Newcastle; 12/1 Stoke

Punters’ Picks For Title/ Relegation…….. Arsene’s Future

PUNTERS’ PICKS FOR TITLE/RELEGATION……..ARSENE’S FUTURE

PUNTERS TIP LIVERPOOL FOR THE TITLE – BLACKBURN , NEWCASTLE AND VILLA FOR DROP

WILLIAM HILL have analysed bets struck on the Premier League title and relegation races so far, and discovered that Liverpool have accounted for almost 40% of bets struck so far on the title, and Blackburn Rovers have attracted the greatest percentage of relegation bets taken thus far – 20.43%.
‘The two lists – derived from bets struck online, although they are closely mirrored by our shop bets- show an intriguing and striking convergence from the betting odds – Liverpool are only 10/1 fifth favourites for the title in our outright odds, while Blackburn are 3/1 sixth favourites for the drop – Villa, third best backed to go down, are actually joint seventh favourites to win the title, while Norwich, 7th best backed for the title are second favourites to be relegated!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘It will be fascinating to look back with hindsight, and see whether the bookies or the punters have got it right.’

BEGINNING OF END FOR ARSENE?

ARSENE WENGER has been cut from 33/1 to 10/1 joint fourth favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club as he appeared to be facing the loss of both Fabregas and Nasri from his squad. Hills make him 1/6 to see out of the season, 7/2 not to. ‘Should the Gunners get off to a slow start pressure will mount inexorably on Arsene Wenger, in which circumstances it is not impossible to envisage an end to his reign at Arsenal.’ Said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM Hill- Next Prem boss to go….13/8 Kean; 2/1 Warnock; 4/1 Pardew; 10 Bruce; Wenger; 12 McCarthy; 14 Redknapp; 16 Coyle, Mancini, Martinez, Moyes. Others on request.

Is Charlie Villa’ S Darling ?

YOU BET CHARLIE’S VILLA’S DARLING

A RUSH of bets for Charles N’Zogbia’s next club to be Aston Villa caused William Hill to slash their odds about that eventuality from 5/4 to 1/4. ‘Villa need a few replacement players for their high profile departures and thIs sudden betting move involving a number of three figure wagers suggests something is afoot between these two parties’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Sunderland 7/2 to be his next club and also offer 8/1 Newcastle; 14/1 Liverpool; 25/1 Arsenal.
