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:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Liverpool; 7/1 Braga; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/6 Liverpool; 11/10 Braga

16/1 Liverpool to score six or more
2/1 Andy Carroll to score a header
20/1 City to win FA Cup and Europa League

British Team To Go Furthest: 11/10 Liverpool; 6/4 Manchester City; 11/4 Rangers

Kenny Will Be Hoping For Sterling Effort From Even Money Reds

Raheem Sterling could become the youngest ever Liverpool player and William Hill are offering 6/4 that he makes it onto the pitch in Prague and 2/1 to score at any point during the game. The prodigy is 3/1 to start a Premier League game before the end of the season and 9/1 to make it into the England squad for 2012.

Manchester City are 4/1 favourites to win the Europa League with Liverpool the 6/1 second favourites and Rangers 66/1. An all Engand Final is a 14/1 shot.

Rocky Reds Should Kick-start Season, Red Bull To Give Man City European Wings

Misfiring striker Fernando Torres is looking increasingly disillusioned with life at Liverpool and William Hill are odds on at 8/13 that he will NOT be at the club come the first day of the 2011/12 Premier League season.

That said, Liverpool are 2/7 hot favourites to beat Steaua Bucharest on Thursday night, with Torres 9/4 favourite to score first. Big spending Manchester City are priced at 6/10 to emerge victorious against Red Bull Salzburg, and they are the current 5/1 favourites to win the trophy with Liverpool the 9/1 second favourites, however, Hills offer 11/4 that any team who qualify through the Champions League win the competition. An all English final is priced at 16/1.

Man City are 4/6 to progress further in the competition than Liverpool who are priced at 11/10 to go further than City.

“Torres almost left Liverpool in the summer following a disastrous campaign last season. He looks almost certain to go before the start of next season unless there is a marked turnaround in fortunes. The odds suggest that Liverpool should kick-start their season with a victory tonight,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Europa League Outright: 11/4 Any Team From The Champions League; 5/1 Man City; 9/1 Liverpool; 11/1 Juventus; 12/1 Sevilla; 14/1 Atletico Madrid; 16/1 Porto; 16/1 Villarreal; 20/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 20/1 Borussia Dortmund; 20/1 Zenit St Petersburg; 25/1 Stuttgart; 25/1 CSKA Moscow; 25/1 Napoli; 25/1 Sampdoria; 33/1 Palermo; 33/1 PPSG; 33/1 PSV Eindhoven; 33/1 Dynamo Kiev; 40/1 BAR
