Fergie Set To Ring Changes For Visit Of Chelsea

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

Manchester United made light work of Schalke at Old Trafford with a second string side and Sir Alex Ferguson now looks ahead to his tie with Chelsea on Sunday. Hills offer 11/10 that just two of Wednesday’s starting XI take to the field at the start of the weekend’s big match and 11/1 that four or more do so. Following Manuel Neuer’s capitulation in front of the Old Trafford crowd, Hill’s have lengthened the odds of him starting United’s first game of next season to 8/1 from 11/2. The odds suggest that if Fergie is to bring in another keeper, it will more than likely be David De Gea, who is 9/4 to start United’s first game of next season.

“Fergie obviously had one eye on Sunday’s game when naming his side against Schalke and the odds suggest that he will ring the changes against Chelsea,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

United are the 7/5 favourites to win on Sunday, while Chelsea are offered at 19/10. The draw is 23/10. All eyes will be on the two sides’ big strikers and Hills are offering markets on what both Torres and Rooney will do first. Rooney is 8/13 to complete the match without scoring or being carded, while Torres appears more likely to be subbed (4/9).

What Will Rooney Do First: 8/13 Complete Match; 9/4 Be Substituted; 9/2 Yellow Card; 6/1 Score; 40/1 Sent Off

What Will Torres Do First: 4/9 Substituted; 9/4 Complete Match; 5/1 Yellow Card; 10/1 Score; 40/1 Sent Off

How Many Of Starting XI vs Schalke Will Start Against Chelsea: 25/1 None; 9/4 One; 11/10 Two; 11/4 Three; 11/1 Four or more

Who Will Start In Goal First Game Of Next Season For Manchester United: 2/1 Tomasz Kuszczak; 9/4 David De Gea; 4/1 Anders Lindegaard; 8/1 Manuel Neuer; 14/1 Asmir Begovic; 16/1 Rob Green; 16/1 Shay Given; 20/1 Ben Amos; 20/1 Sergio Asenjo; 33/1 Kasper Schmeichel

STUTTERING STRIKER AT CHELSEA FOR LONG HAUL

England are 4/9 to win away at the weekend with the Welsh 9/2 to pull off an upset win. ‘These two games are crucial for both sides, and as England rugby union side discovered at the weekend, form can go out of the window in matches like this’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Will Torres Fans Be Singing The Blues Or Will Carroll Be On Song?

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

Fernando Torres has moved to Chelsea and Andy Carroll has arrived at Anfield to replace him. William Hill are offering 7/1 that both strikers net on their debuts for their new clubs. Andy Carroll has scored 11 goals this season and Hills are offering 11/4 that he manages to bag at least another eight before the end of the season and evens that he scores five or fewer goals for his new club. Torres is 6/5 to score six or less goals for Chelsea for the remainder of this season and 11/4 to score 11 or more.

“Torres and Carroll have dominated the headlines on transfer deadline day but the odds suggest that they may not be dominating the headlines as much come the following months,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/6 that Torres scores a quicker goal for Chelsea than Carroll does for Liverpool, while Carroll is the same price to score a faster goal than Torres. Torres is 6/4 to score against Liverpool on Sunday and Carroll is 6/4 to bag a goal against Newcastle on the 30th April.
