Gerrard Odds On To Start First Liverpool Game

WILL GERRARD BE FIT FOR SEASON?

WITH STEVEN GERRARD a non-runner on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia, William Hill have opened a book on whether the Reds’ skipper will start their first Premier League game of the season – and offer 2/5 that he WILL, 7/4 that he will NOT. ‘Gerrard is still a key player for Liverpool and it would be a real setback for them if he was not fit enough to start their campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Liverpool play Sunderland at Anfield in their opening game and are 7/20 to win it with Hills who make the visitors 6/1 and the draw 16/5.

Bookies Brace For Barca Bashing, United In Support For The Reds

Despite being at Wembley, Manchester United find themselves the biggest outsider for the Champions League Final for over a decade, with no other finalist in the past 10 years priced at more than 2/1. United are offered at 3/1 with Hills, but not even that price can tempt punters, with over 80% of bets placed on a Barcelona victory at 21/20. Hills are also offering over 100 in play markets and think that it could be the first time in history that in-play bets exceed pre-match wagers.

“Over the years Manchester United have caused us a fair amount of pain, but they will save us millions if they manage to beat Barcelona on Saturday night,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are expecting a £10 million industry wide turnover making this the biggest game since the World Cup Final last year.

Lionel Messi is the 5/1 favourite to score the first goal of the match, while David Villa is 7/1. Wayne Rooney is 8/1 with Pedro and Hernandez both 9/1.

William Hill have a number of specials available for this weekend’s match and offer 25/1 that Patrice Evra will score and Manchester United lift the trophy (Happy Evra After) and 22/1 that Gerard Pique scores from outside the area (Pique That One Out).

To Win In Extra Time: 9/1 Barcelona; 16/1 Manchester United

To Win On Penalties: 11/1 Manchester United; 11/1 Barcelona

To Lift The Trophy: 1/2 Barcelona; 13/8 Manchester United

33/1 Fergie To See Red Against Old Enemy

Alex Ferguson has been charged by the FA could be forced to watch his side from the stands if he is found guilty. The fiery Scot already has a suspended ban hanging over him and bookmakers, William Hill, are offering 6/1 that he gets another ban this season (should he receive a ban pertaining to his current FA charge). He is 33/1 to see red against Liverpool and get sent to the stands.

“Liverpool have really gone backwards since Kenny Dalglish left in 1991 and Fergie will be looking to flex his muscles against his old enemy some 20 years later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He just has to make sure that he does not flex too hard.”

Should United win the Premier League this season, for which they are 8/13, Fergie could well call it a day, having broken Liverpool’s League record and Hills offer 11/2 that he is not in charge of The Reds at the start of the 2011/2012 season. He is 3/1 to not be in charge of United come the start of the 2012/2013 season.

William Hill Alex Ferguson Prices:

6/1 To receive another ban this season (not including the current charge he is facing)
33/1 To be sent to the stands against Liverpool

Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2011/12 season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Will Ferguson be at Manchester United at the start of the 2012/13 season: 2/9 Yes; 3/1 No

8/13 Manchester United win the Premier League this season

Liverpool host Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday and William Hill make the Reds the 4/11 favourites to win the match, while Manchester City are 1/5 to defeat Aris Salonika at Eastlands. Rangers look like they could be heading out of the competition, with Sporting Lisbon 1/3 to win the tie. Hills are offering 9/2 that Rangers win and 9/4 that they qualify for the next round of the tournament, while they are 12/1 to win on the away goals rule. 6/1 is available for all three of the British sides to win their respective matches.

Manchester City are 4/6 to progress furthest of the three British sides left in the competition, with Liverpool 6/4 and Rangers 7/1. A Manchester City vs Liverpool Europa Final is offered at 14/1 with Hills.

“Manchester City and Liverpool should be confident of progressing and it seems like a straight shoot out between the two to earn the crown of ‘best of British’,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Rangers are up against it in Portugal and it would appear that they will be taking their leave from the tournament after Thursday’s game.”

Torres Is 6/1 To Still Feel Blue In Five Games Time
Torres is now 6/1 with William Hill to fail to score in his next five games with Hills who make him 6/5 to get off the mark against Manchester United. Chelsea are now 5/4 to go furthest of the Premier League sides in the Champions League while Ancelotti is 5/6 to be manager on the first day of next season, 5/6 not to, with Hills. “Torres is desperate to open his account for his new side and there is no doubting that once he scores, the goals will start to flow…when that will be, however, is another question,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Following Spurs’ defeat to Blackpool William Hill are offering 5/4 that they finish in the top four and Harry Redknapp is 1/3 to still be at White Hart Lane by the end of the 2011/2012 season.
