Hills also offer 5/1 that a Chelsea player will be shown a red card.

"Villa have become a very difficult team to break down since the arrival of O'Neill and we could easily see the Chelsea superstars getting frustrated", said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Number Of Chelsea Yellow Cards v Aston Villa 8/11/2006: 9/4 None, 5/2 One, 11/4 Two, 7/2 Three, 5/1 Four or more.

Newcastle Backed To Stay Up But Roeder Trimmed For Sack!

Hills have seen a succession of big bets for Newcastle to stay up at odds of 1/8 including one from a Geordie punter who staked £8,000. Hills bet 9/2 that Newcastle are relegated. "At the start of the season Newcastle were 33/1 to be relegated and are now trading at 9/2 but punters just cannot see Newcastle as a Championship team and are lumping on the 1/8 that they stay in the Premiership", said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams. The 10/11 on offer for Roeder to be the second manager to go has been nibbled at and Hills have trimmed the price to 4/5.

Newcastle Specials: 1/8 Premiership Team 2007/08, 9/2 Championship team 2007/08.
