Red Devils Will Leave Bookies Feeling Blue

The FA Cup semi-finals kick off on Saturday as Man City play Man Utd and William Hill make the red side of the city 11/10 favourites to get through to the final. It would appear that the loss of Wayne Rooney for United is not as damaging as the loss of Carlos Tevez for City and Hills punters have been rushing in to back United, already resulting in a five figure loss. Hills favourites to reach the final are Manchester United and Bolton, offered at 17/10, while a Stoke/Manchester City final is the outsider at 7/2.

“Manchester United are firm favourites both with us and the punters and we are keeping our fingers firmly crossed for a City victory,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea Lose Once More As Bolton Cut For Top Four Finish

Chelsea lost for the second game in a row but William Hill believe that the losing streak will not last long, offering 2/5 that they win the next game against Newcastle. The Blues play Man Utd on the 19th December and are 20/1 to not win until that game. Ancelotti is 11/8 to have left Chelsea by the first game of next season.

Manchester United won again today and Hills offer 20/1 that they can emulate the Arsenal ‘invincibles’ and remain undefeated all season. Their victory saw the return of Wayne Rooney who did not manage to get his name on the score sheet once more. Hills make him Even money to end his current drought against Rangers on Wednesday evening and 5/2 that it happens against Blackburn.

Bolton Wanderers have been the surprise package this season and currently sit in fourth spot in the Premier League. They are 25/1 to qualify for the Champion’s League (having been 250/1 at the start of the season) and 7/4 to finish in the Europa League spots (5th to 8th). They are 28/1 to finish in the bottom three.

“The league has started to take on a familiar shape, but with the top four faltering a bit, it could be time for one of the more unfashionable clubs to make their mark,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
