Gunners fans will need no reminding that Chelsea won this corresponding fixture 4-1 last May – odds of 100-1 are offered about a repeat scoreline, but have subsequently won their next dozen games at the Emirates. It’s a similar success story for Carlo Ancelotti’s team who have gone eight games since a loss, kept eight clean sheets, and only conceded eight goals in the Premier League this season.

The bookies are making a 1-1 scoreline favourite at 6-1, and a similar price about Didier Drogba scoring the first match goal. Florent Malouda, who scored in both Arsenal defeats last season, is 9-2 to score at anytime during the game. For Arsenal punters, the team can be backed at 15-2 to find the back of the net in the opening 10 minutes of the match, and captain Cesc Fabregas, is an 8-1 chance to score a goal from outside the penalty box.

Don’t miss Saturday’s RPSPORT for expert opinion from the paper’s top team of football writers – including former Chelsea and Aston Villa star Tony Cascarino, on who they believe will come out on top in the London derby. There will be comprehensive odds, statistics, and analysis on the game and words of wisdom from soccer boffin Kevin Pullein.

According to the Racing Post, the sports and betting daily paper, Button, who was offered at around 12-1 last month, will line-up alongside Lewis Hamilton – the first time in Formula 1 history, a team has started the new season featuring the most recent successive world champions.

Although Button can be backed at 6-1 to win the first race of the 2010 season, and 10-1 about him finishing in the points in every race next year, bookmakers still believe it will be his teammate Lewis Hamilton who will be crowned champion. They make the 2008 Formula 1 champion 11-4 favourite to take the title, followed by Fernando Alonso at 7-2 and Sebastian Vettel at 6-1.

The bookies are also offering odds about who will gain most points between Hamilton and Button next season. They are offering 2-5 Hamilton and 9-4 Button.

The bookies are also forecasting that 59-year-old Bugner, who fought Muhammad Ali twice in his heyday, shouldn’t make himself too comfortable in the camp – he is as short as 3-1 to be next eliminated.

There has been a major gamble on Italian celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo, whose odds have plummeted from 8-1 to 7-2 favourite following favourable comments on TV chatrooms. Gino has replaced bookies choice Jimmy ‘The Whirlwind’ White who has drifted alarmingly in the betting from 5-1 to 9-1. The snooker player and former hellraiser, has failed to capture the imagination of viewers by his continued quiet demeanour in front of the TV screen.

TV viewers may appear equally divided on their opinions about Katie Price in the celebrity camp, but so is the bookmaking industry. The former glamour model known as Jordan was priced at 14-1 before she arrived in the camp on Monday. She is now as short as 11-2 with some firms, but has drifted to as high as 15-2 with others.

Latest odds
Gino D’Acampo 7-2
Kim Woodburn 11-2
Sam Fox 6-1
Katie Price 15-2
Jimmy White 9-1
Lucy Benjamin 11-1
George Hamilton 12-1

The King George VI Chase – A complete overview of this popular steeple chase which is run in December at Kempton Park.

According to the Racing Post, the sports and betting daily paper, the tone-deaf pair are priced as big as 13-5 to be eliminated this weekend, after they appeared to have been given an advantage on this Saturday’s show as all competitors will have to sing from a catalogue of songs by eighties pop legends Wham!

The Dublin double act, who will cost bookmakers their biggest-ever payout in X Factor if they win the contest, are believed to be singing either I’m Your Man or Wham Rap! Those songs should disguise their lack of singing talent, and emphasise more on entertainment. The bookies are offering 12-1 about the pair causing the biggest shock in entertainment history by winning the show, 15-2 they make the final, and only 2-1 they finish in the top three.

Essex-born Stacey Solomon has been the big mover in the betting market this week, shortening from 7-2 last weekend to a now best-priced 11-4. Olly Murs heads the bookmakers’ lists at 9-4, with Joe McElderry at 7-2. The youngster member of the finalists’ Lloyd Daniels, is odds-on at 5-6 to be eliminated on Sunday. The 16-year-old has been saved a couple of times by the public in recent weeks, but the bookies see no respite for him this weekend.

According to the Racing Post, the nation’s favourite sports and betting daily paper, New Zealand are huge odds-on at 1-7 to inflict further damage on the already – beleaguered England team following their unconvincing victory over Argentina last week. Bookies are offering home supporters 7-1 about a surprise England win, and 10-11 England with a 13-point start.

Since winning the World Cup in Australia back in 2003, England have taken on the All Blacks in seven internationals and lost them all. One of the chief players responsible for those defeats has been fly-half Dan Carter, who scored 137 points in those games. He is priced at 10-11 to score more than 12 points on Saturday and 5-1 to score all of New Zealand’s points.

For patriotic punters, Jonny Wilkinson, despite a disappointing display against the Puma’s last week, can be backed at 6-4 to score all of England’s points, and 8-1 to send the home crowd into raptures by winning the man of the match award.

Don’t miss Saturday’s RPSPORT for rugby expert Graham Woods’s opinion and analysis on the match, plus views on the rest of the rugby internationals including Wales v Argentina and Scotland v Australia.

Former Liverpool manager and football legend Kenny Dalglish is the bookies’ choice at 3-1 take over the mantle should Benitez be ousted, closely followed by Inter boss Jose Mourinho at 5-1 and Roberto Mancini at 8-1.

With Liverpool suffering their fourth successive loss for the first time since 1987 against Lyon last night, the Merseysiders are now quoted at 25-1 for Champions League glory, and odds-on at 8-11 to be eliminated from the group stage of the competition.

It doesn’t read any better for Liverpool fans in the Premier League. The bookies have pushed them out to 16-1 for the ultimate prize in English football, and are only offering 11-8 they finish fifth or lower in the league this season.

The majority of Liverpool supporters and pundits are suggesting that Sunday’s match against arch-rivals Manchester United could set the tone for the club for the rest of the season. Bookmakers are favouring United at 13-8, with Liverpool on offer at 15-8, and the stalemate 23-10.
