************************************WILLIAM HILL FA CUP FINAL SPECIALS***************************

Hills out to ‘get’ City, but:
8/13 MANCHESTER SATURDAY GLORY DOUBLE – UNITED TO CLINCH TITLE, CITY TO LIFT FA CUP

WILLIAM HILL offer 8/13 that Saturday will be a double glory day for Manchester football – with United clinching the Premier League title, followed by City lifting the FA Cup. ‘We’re offering 8/13 that the two Manchester clubs wrap up their respective trophy targets on Saturday’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills say they are keen to oppose Man City winning in 90m. ‘The perceived wisdom appears to be that Man City have the class to steamroller Stoke within 90 minutes – but we beg to differ, and will be looking to maintain a very competitive price – currently 10/11- about City doing that – and are happy to back our opinion to the tune of at least one million pounds’ added Sharpe.
Despite competition from Premier League matches, William Hill expect the FA Cup Final to produce the biggest betting turnover of any domestic match this season: ‘We anticipate a betting turnover of around £15m on the Cup Final – which may well be helped by the Premier League games encouraging punters to have accumulator bets. But the biggest club match of the season in turnover terms is odds-on to be the forthcoming Champions League Final’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
