Bookmakers have suspended the odds of Martin O’Neill being next Manager

Bookmakers have suspended the odds of Martin O’Neill becoming the next Leicester City manager after it is understood that the Premier League club have been given permission to talk with the former Aston Villa boss.

O’Neill is in charge of the Republic of Ireland national team. After a long time, Ireland are expected to qualify for Euro 2016 even at least in the play-off places. This would provide a lot of work for O’Neill in the coming 12 months. There are suggestions that he would retain his job as the England manager while also doing his duties as the Leicester boss.

The Premier League club are in the market for a new manager after recently sacking Nigel Pearson over a lot of differences. Pearson’s son – along with his three friends from the Leicester youth academy – have been found guilty of racial abuse of Thai people. This appears to have hurt Leicester’s owners, who are from this region. This coupled with the numerous issues surrounding Pearson over the last 12 months has broken the patience of the club. They are now looking for an experienced candidate to lead the team after having incredibly avoided relegation last season.

Despite being bottom of the table on Christmas, Leicester became one of the two teams to have survived at the end of the campaign. Towards the last seven games of the season, Leicester were the inform team and were leading this separate table. O’Neill was previously backed at 1/4 to take the job, while former Celtic boss Neil Lennon is also in the running at odds of 8/1, although you can get bigger ods if you use a promotion code. O’Neill is someone who knows Leicester City extremely well after having been in charge of the team back in 1995. They were one of the first teams he managed at the start of his club career.

Bookmakers are expecting plenty of goals

Bookmakers are expecting plenty of goals when Manchester United take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford this weekend.

United on the back of a stunning run of form that has seen them storm into the top four of the Premier League. If they continue his winning form, they could extended the lead over Liverpool which currently stands at five. This would make them certainties to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season. It was the primary objective for the club when they set out at the start of the campaign under Louis Van Gaal.

A trophy would be a huge bonus, but it looks like United will end the campaign without a silverware. Villa have been on a resurgent of form as well, but the home advantage for United will be a major factor. Tim Sherwood is likely to go for defensive tactics in the hope of sneaking a point rather than go all-out attack and get trashed. Goal difference will play a major role in the Premier League survival, which is important for Villa given that they are only three points above the drop zone. Despite this, bookmakers are expecting a lot of goals given that players like Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata are on form. If you fancy betting on this, or on any market from England vs Russia on Euro 2016 to the Copa America, use the links provided.

United are rated at 4/13 to win while a draw is given odds of 74/17. Villa are given distant odds of being able to snatch an extended trip at Old Trafford, which is something that they have done very recently. After having won three out of the last five matches, Villa will have more confidence that they have missed during the first half of the season. Striker Christian Benteke also appears on form and United central defenders will have to be wary of the Belgian striker’s threat.
