And Hills also offer 9/4 that there will be no visible athletics track at the stadium and 11/4 that they have installed retractable seating over the track, when they do start playing league games there. ‘West Ham’s status in the football pyramid and whether they will be able to remove or disguise the athletics track are likely to be crucial factors in the success of the scheme’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Kyle Walker is in line to make his England debut but the odds suggest that if the call to make an appearance does arrive, it will have to come off the bench. He is 5/2 with William Hill to start against Denmark on Wednesday while Glen Johnson is 1/4 to feature as Capellos starting right-back. Fabio Capello has stated that Jack Wilshere is the future of the England team and he is 2/7 to start.

There is no doubting Kyle Walkers potential, but his call up has come very early in his career. Two weeks ago, we were still offering odds of 5/1 that Walker would win a cap within the next two years, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

A lot of attention will be focused on Capellos strikers with Wayne Rooney likely to lead the line. The Man United striker is 4/1 to score first, while Hills are offering 9/5 that he scores at any time and England win. Tottenham appear to be the most likely Premier League side to provide Englands first scorer at 15/8, while Aston Villa are 9/4.

Chris Hughton has been heavily backed in the last two hours to succeed Roberto Di Matteo as the next permanent West Brom manager. Having been priced at 10/1 yesterday, the former Newcastle boss is the 6/4 favourite with William Hill and already results in a high four figure loss. Current caretaker manager Michael Appleton the 3/1 second favourite. Early front runner, Sam Allardyce has drifted from 6/5 to 3/1 with Martin Jol 5/1.

Any new West Brom appointment would have to work under a sporting and technical director which could explain why Allardyce has drifted, as it can be certain that he would want the final say so in any transfer dealings, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next West Brom Manager Odds: 6/4 Chris Hughton; 3/1 Michael Appleton; 3/1 Sam Allardyce; 5/1 Martin Jol; 6/1 Derek McInnes; 8/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Gus Poyet; 16/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Aidy Boothroyd; 20/1 Tony Mobray; 20/1 Martin ONeill; 20/1 Paul Ince; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 20/1 Sean ODriscoll; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle (others on request)
