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

Manchester City had an easy victory tonight and in the process secured their route into the knock-out stages of the Europa Cup. William Hill make them 9/2 favourites to win the competition. They are also 8/11 to get further in the competition than the only other English side left, Liverpool. The Reds are 2/1 to outdo City.

We now have our four semi finalists for the Carling Cup and who would have thought that Ipswich would reach that round? The Tractor Boys have eased some of the immediate pressure on their manager, Roy Keane by getting that far and his odds to still be there at the start of next season have shortened from 7/2 to 3/1. Ipswich are 12/1 outsiders to win the competition made all the tougher by the fact that they have Arsenal in the next round. The Gunners are 4/7 to win the final at Wembley.

William Hill Odds:

Carling Cup Outright: 4/7 Arsenal; 7/2 Birmingham; 4/1 West Ham; 12/1 Ipswich

Europa Outright: 9/2 Man City; 9/1 Liverpool; 11/1 Porto; 12/1 CSKA Moscow; 12/1 Zenit St Petersburg; 16/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 16/1 Sevilla; 20/1 Atletico Madrid; 20/1 Villarreal; 25/1 Stuttgart; 25/1 Dortmund; 33/1 BAR

Liverpool/Manchester City Match Bet (Who Will Go Further?): 8/11 Man City; 2/1 Liverpool; 7/2 Tie

3/1 Roy Keane is still in charge at the start of next season
