“In a real U-Turn, it now appears more likely that Tevez will stay in England than go anywhere else when he inevitably leaves City although in terms of specific clubs, it appears that Real Madrid lead the race for the want away striker,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

FABREGAS GAMES STARTING AT BARCA

With Barcelona and Arsenal undertaking a tentative dialogue over the future of Cesc Fabregas, William Hill are offering odds on how many games he will start for the Catalan giants. He is 5/2 to start between 16 to 20 games, 9/2 to start under 11 games and 13/2 over 30.

“Despite the dearth of quality midfielders available to Barcelona, it looks as though the Spanish Champions may well be able to find a way to shoehorn him into their starting line-up,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Number of Fabregas starts for Barcelona in La Liga in the 2011-12 Season*:
9/2 Under 11
3/1 11-15

10/3 21-25
5/1 26-30

Arsenal And Barcelona Brighten Up Dull Champions League Draw

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LATEST ODDS………………………………………

The Champions League draw was made today and the undoubted tie of the round sees Arsenal facing Spanish Champions Barcelona. William Hill are offering 11/4 that Arsenal qualify while Barca are 1/4 to get through to the last eight. Chelsea are the shortest priced English side to qualify and they are just 1/20 to overcome FC Copenhagen.

Hills are offering 5/4 that Chelsea are the furthest progressing English side, with Manchester United 15/8. Being drawn against Barcelona in the next round has hampered Arsenal’s chances of progressing the furthest with Hills easing their odds from 7/2 to 11/2 to hold the English bragging rights. Arsenal have also drifted in the outright Champions League market from 11/1 to 20/1, while Barcelona are the 9/4 favourites. Chelsea are the 4/1 third favourites and are the shortest priced English team.

“The draw has not really inspired too much in the way of stand-out ties, except, of course, the Arsenal/Barcelona tie. It is sure to spark the imagination of our punters and could generate one of the highest turnovers for a Champions League game this year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 15/2 that all four English teams progress to the quarter finals and 5/1 that this year’s final is contested between two English teams. Conversely 100/1 is the price for all four teams to be defeated in their last 16 ties.
