****************************WILLIAM HILL WEEKEND PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS***********************************

WILL THIRTY NINE POINTS BE ENOUGH FOR PREMIER LEAGUE SURVIVAL?

WITH the relegation scrap looking like going right to the end of the season, William Hill have opened a book on how many points the 18th placed side in the table will end the season with – and offer 6/4 that it will be 38 or fewer. ‘Managers in the bottom half of the table are furiously working out how many points they need to be safe – we think 39 should do it’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

W-W-WILL THEY ALL FINISH BOTTOM, INITIALLY?

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 that all three relegated teams this season will begin with a ‘W’, and offer 20/1 that three ‘B’s will go down. ‘Initially, it seemed like a good idea to quote odds about alphabetical relegations!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL HOULLIER STILL BE VILLAIN NEXT SEASON?

ASTON VILLA are 11/4 with William Hill to drop into the bottom three after this weekend’s Premier League matches- and Hills make their boss, Gerard Houllier 6/5 to be gone before the start of next season – and 5/1 to be the next manager to go this season. ‘If Houllier thinks he’s under pressure now, he’ll soon realize that matters can get much worse should Villa slip into the relegation zone after this round of games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HAVING A TORRES TIME – 6/1 NO PREM GOALS FOR CHESEA THIS SEASON

DESPITE having yet to get off the mark for Chelsea, William Hill believe Fernando Torres will strike more quickly than his other two high profile yet-to-score Premier League rivals Carroll and Dzeko. And Torres is Even money to open his Premier League account against Stoke this weekend, but 6/1 not to score in any of his next five games. ‘Torres is having a torrid time in front of goal but it is hard to see that continuing for much longer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Stoke (A)1/1
