City Start Shows Promise As Aguero Slashed For Golden Boot

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Manchester City showed their obvious class when upstaging Swansea on their return to the big time, to record the only home win of the opening week of the Premier League. New boy Sergio Aguero, scored two and set up one on his City debut and William Hill are offering 4/1 that he bags the golden boot during his first season in Premier League football. Manchester City are 10/3 to win the Premier League this season but are still behind Manchester United and Chelsea at 6/5 and 3/1 respectively. Hills offer 10/3 about a United/City 1-2, while a City/United forecast is 11/2.

“After just one game, the league is looking ominous for teams around the country as the North West occupy the top three,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Realistically, there will only be two of those sides there at the end of the season but on the weekend’s form, the Manchester sides will take some shifting from their lofty perch.”

Despite performing well in the first half, Swansea faded in the second and succumbed to a big defeat and they are Hill’s favourites, at 8/15 to be relegated. Swansea are 13/8 to be the last of the promoted sides to register a Premier League win. Norwich are 6/4 and QPR are 7/4. All three promoted sides are 4/1 to be relegated. Swansea are 11/10 to win their next game against Wigan and 3/1 to record their first Premier League win against Sunderland. They are 11/4 to fail to win within the next five games.
Next Swansea Win: 11/10 Wigan; 3/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Arsenal; 5/1 West Brom; 50/1 Chelsea; 11/4 None of the next five games

Last Promoted side to register a Premier League win: 6/4 Norwich; 13/8 Swansea; 7/4 QPR

PL Top goal scorer: 4/1 Sergio Aguero; 7/1 Wayne Rooney; 9/1 Fernando Torres; 9/1 Javier Hernandez; 10/1 Robin Van Persie; 11/1 BAR

You Bet: Cesc Will Be Fab For Barca And How Will Arsenal Do Without Their Talisman?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

New Barcelona signing Cesc Fabregas is rated a 6/4 chance by William Hill to start more league games for Barcelona than the talismanic Xavi (1/2). The bookies are also offering odds of 10/1 for Fabregas to make more league appearances for the Blaugrana than his idol and current Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola (263).

“Fabregas has taken the number four, the same number that Guardiola wore at the Camp Nou and it will be interesting to see whether he surpasses the achievements of his once idol and current mentor,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The former Arsenal captain is rated a 12/1 chance to score against the Gunners this season and the same price to play again for the North London club before the end of his career.

“Arsenal made Cesc into the player that he is today and it is feasible that he could well turn out for the Gunners again before the end of his career,” said Crilly.

Hills are also offering odds on Cesc’s number of league starts for Barcelona this season and the number of goals he’ll score for the defending champions this season.

With Cesc out of the door at the Emirates, Hills think that a mass exodus may have been sparked and offer 1/2 that Samir Nasri is sold before the end of the transfer window and 15/2 that Robin Van Persie is.

Arsenal have to take on Udinese without Fabregas now and William Hill have priced up where they will exit the Champions League. They are 5/2 to go out to the Italians and 9/4 to exit at the group stages. They are 20/1 to win the competition.

William Hill Fabregas Specials

Number of starts in La Liga this season: 5/2 Under 20, 6/4 20-30, 5/4 Over 30

Fabregas total La Liga goals this season: 3/1 0-5, 13/8 6-10, 9/4 11-15, 5/1 16-20, 9/1 21 or more

Who will start more la Liga games this season? 1/2 Xavi, Fabregas 6/4

Fabregas to make more La Liga appearances for Barcelona than Pep Guardiola (263) 10/1

Arsenal to meet Barcelona at any stage during this year’s Champions League? 5/2

Fabregas to score a competitive goal against Arsenal this season: Yes 12/1

Fabregas to play a competitive match for Arsenal before the end of his career? Yes 12/1

Pep Guardiola NOT to be in charge of Barcelona at the start of next season: 2/1

Arsenal Specials:

Samir Nasri to have left Arsenal by the end of the transfer window: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Robin Van Persie to have left Arsenal by the end of the transfer window: 15/2 yes; 1/20 no

Rooney 25/1 For Golden Boot…chelsea Explode Back Into Title Reckoning

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Wayne Rooney bagged a brace against Villa and William Hill are offering 25/1 that he can put his recent poor form behind him and end the season as the Premier League’s top scorer. United’s victory means that they are still unbeaten in the Premier League and Hills offer 7/1 that they can end the season without losing. Manchester United are the 4/7 favourites to win the Premier League, while Arsenal are 11/4. Chelsea are now priced at 13/2 having been as long as 12/1 just a couple of weeks ago.

“Chelsea have managed to find a bit of form in the last few games and coupled with the arrival of Torres seems to make Chelsea look like viable contenders once more,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Rooney will be looking to continue the form of tonight and should he do so, there is a chance that he could be challenging the big boys for the golden boot come the end of the season.”

Manchester City are 17/20 to keep up the pressure on the top two against Birmingham, while Tottenham are 13/10 to win away at Blackburn. Liverpool will be hoping that their recent resurgence will continue and are 6/10 to record a victory at home to Stoke. New boy David Suarez is 4/5 to score anytime for Liverpool on Wednesday, while he is 10/3 to open the scoring.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

10/3 Birmingham; 5/2 Draw; 17/20 Manchester City
21/10 Blackburn; 23/10 Draw; 13/10 Tottenham

Premier League Outright: 4/7 Manchester United; 11/4 Arsenal; 13/2 Chelsea; 14/1 Manchester City; 66/1 Tottenham
