7/2 For More Penalty Woes For Home Nations In 2014

Team GB caught the missed penalty bug, losing to South Korea and William Hill offer 7/2 that any of England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland exit World Cup 2014 on penalties. Hills also go 1/3 that Team GB make no appearance in the Olympic 2016 tournament.

“As soon as Saturday’s match went to penalties, there was only really going to be one outcome such is the resignation with which British players now view shootouts,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will any of England, Wales, Scotland or NI be knocked out of World Cup 2014 on penalties: 7/2 yes; 1/6 no
*includes qualification play offs

Team GB to take part in Olympics tournament in Brazil: 1/3 no; 9/4 yes
*does not include qualifying

Kelly To Replace Cahill…but He Will Not Replace Him In Starting Xi

Gary Cahill has been withdrawn from the England squad to add to Roy Hodgson’s woes and his replacement, Martin Kelly, is 1/3 with William Hill to see no action during the Three Lions three group games (9/4 to make any kind of appearance vs France, Ukraine or Sweden). Cahill’s injury means that a maximum of 10 of Saturday’s XI vs Belgium will be able to start against France and Hills offer 7/1 that all ten of those take their places next week. The most likely, however, is eight of the players to start at 8/11 with nine at Even money.

“Cahill will be a big loss considering the fact that it looked like he was going to be starting alongside Terry and now it looks like Lescott will have to step up to the plate,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How any of England’s starting XI vs Belgium will start against France: 25/1 seven or fewer; 8/11 eight; 1/1 nine; 7/1 ten

Martin Kelly to make any kind of appearance during England’s group stages: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no

Manchester City: Champions League…they’re Having A Laugh But Wigan Look Doomed

Manchester City won against Wigan in Saturday’s late kick off and solidified their chances of Champions League football next season. They are offered at 1/3 with William Hill to finish in the top four, with Arsenal at 1/150 and Chelsea 1/8. City’s nearest contenders are Tottenham who are priced at 11/8 to breach the top four. City are also 25/1 to win the league, in from 33/1. Wigan’s woes continue and they are now 1/4 to get relegated, while Wolves and Blackpool are both 11/10 for the drop. Following the continuation of their mini revival under Roy Hodgson, West Brom are 13/8 to get relegated.

Arsenal failed to capitalise on Manchester United’s defeat midweek, by being held to a draw at home by Sunderland and their price to win the Premier League has drifted from 7/4 to 9/4 while, even without playing, Manchester United are back in to 8/15 from 8/13.

“Manchester City did not play particularly well against Wigan, however, they did not look like walking away with anything less than three points,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “As long as they keep winning, the Champions League spot is theirs.”

Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and Hills have the away side as marginal 6/4 favourites ahead of Liverpool who offered at 15/8. It could also mark Andy Carroll’s debut for the Reds and Hills are offering 5/1 that he comes off the bench and scores a goal. Games between the pair are often feisty affairs and 2/1 is on offer for any player to be shown red card.

William Hill Odds:

Premier League Outright: 8/15 Manchester United; 9/4 Arsenal; 11/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 150/1 Tottenham Hotspur

Top Four Finish: Manchester United N/A; 1/150 Arsenal; 1/8 Chelsea; 1/3 Manchester City; 11/8 Tottenham Hotspur; 16/1 Liverpool; 50/1 Bolton Wanderers

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 11/10 Wolves; 11/10 Blackpool; 6/5 West Ham; 13/8 West Brom; 9/4 Birmingham; 7/2 Blackburn; 12/1 Stoke; 16/1 BAR
