Its sure to be a collossal encounter and Brits up and down the land will be glued to Sky Box Office at 9 o’clock Saturday to see the fight. For David Haye, the talking has all been done from his side as he really has battered the Ukranian camp in the press,with Klitschko’s trainer Emmanuel Steward even becoming embroiled in a slanging match, as we take a look at the Haye Klitschko Odds for Saturday’s showdown.

Whatever you decide to bet on, there is no getting over the fact that Klitschko is the heavy favourite here, and can be backed at a short looking 4/7. David Haye looks a cracking bet at 13/8 with Boylesports, and there’s sure to be plenty of takes piling on at that price with a view to trade as the fight progresses.

Haye Klitschko Odds Popular Markets

Those looking into the method of victory market may be interested to see that a Klitschko win by TKO or KO is 6/5 across the board with the bookies, and with David Haye rumoured to have a suspect jaw that price is sure not to last. A David Haye victory by TKO or KO is 2/1 and a KO could well be the call as these two boxers will simply jab each other for twelve rounds until one cannot take any more.

It certainly will be a close contest as the draw or technical draw is 50/1 with Boylesports, which does look a tad large and could interest a few with a speculative punt.

Whatever you decide to bet on, its sure to be a boxing spectacle which don’t often come around often so get on and enjoy the action.

Can Alex Ferguson stop Lionel Messi? All will be revealed as we take a look a the Man Utd Barcelona odds, with Barcelona the clear favourites with the bookies.It promises to be a titantic encounter as the footballing world decends on Wembley for this spectacular finale to the  season in Europe.

For Barcelona, it would cement their status as the best football team in the world, and possibly this decade, as Pep Guardiola’s side have an array of stars which would grace any Premiership side.

With Xavi and Iniesta pulling the strings in midfield, together with the deadly combination of Lionel Messi and David Villa up front, the Catalan side are quite rightly so favourites with the bookies at a shade above evens.

Man Utd of course have their own quality throughout the side, but alot will depend on Wayne Rooney and he will have to have a stormer if Alex Ferguson is to get anything from this game.

Utd can be backed at 3/1 which will look like tremendous value to some, but for us we cannot see anything other than a Barcelona win.

Lionel Messi single handedly destroyed Real Madrid at the Bernabeau with two goals, and to go there, score two and keep a clean sheet in the process makes Barcelona to win in 90 mins our bet of the day.

Utd will try and keep it close and tight but there is one deciding factor which sways us to a Barcelona victory – they have the greatest player in the world Lionel Messi, while Utd do not.

Get on Barca.

Can he inspire Liverpool to a win in the Merseyside derby and give the Kop something to shout about?

The mood on Anfield has been lifted, but still Daglish has to use the same players as Hodgeson, and it remains to be seen whether he can get the best out of them. The mood will certainly be reaching fever pitch as Everton are the visitors to Anfield in the Merseyside derby.

The Toffees have been rocked this week with the news that star midfielder Steven Piennar is set for a move to Tottenham or a move to Inter in Italy, but they do come into this game in with confidence after a 2-1 home win over Tottenham last week, and have only suffered one defeat in their last six games.

David Moyes side do look a cracking bet at 5/2 to take the spoils home, despite the loss of Tim Cahill in midfield who is with Australia in the Asia Cup, and with Liverpool still in disarray despite the King Kenny effect now is  agreat time to take advantage of a fre bet voucher from Paddy Power, who are offering a free £50 bet on the game.

Its set to be a cracking game with both sides desperate to avoid defeat, so take advantage before the offer runs out! And enjoy the game.

There is still a little bit of value to be had in the chasing pack with Northampton being offered at 2/1 by the majority of bookmakers. However, when Leicester traditionally hit this position and part of the season they have a tendency to not look back.

A more interesting market is who will win the league without taking into consideration the title deciding play-offs. Both Leicester and Northampton have odds on the market of 11/10, which suggests they will hold the top two places for the rest of the campaign.

Tom Varndell remains the most backed player to finish with the most tries by the end of the season. Varndell is currently 11/4 with Paddy Power, which has shortened slightly. Northampton’s Chris Ashton is a very good outside bet at a best price of 11/2 with the same bookmaker.

Leeds and Newcastle are the two teams battling away at the bottom of the table and there is a good investment opportunity to be had in backing Leeds to finish bottom. They have been at the foot of the table all season and 2/5 with Paddy Power provides the chance to make back some losses.

There are interesting bets to be had in backing the best team in different regions of the country. Harlequins are the favourites to be the top London team this season at 2s with a few bookmakers. Bath are evens with Paddy Power to be the best team from the West Country despite their poor league position.

For certain, Liverpool are desperate for the points and anything that can help rebuild the confidence of this rapidly decling Premiership super power with free paddy power bets. There seems to be a element of optimism on Anfield however, as legends such as Daglish bring an awe and a respect back to the dressing room, and it is this which Reds fans hope will inspire the team to only their second win of the season.

Liverpool’s current away form is awful, having already lost to teams which would be unheard of only  afew years ago. Defeats at Blackburn, Wolves and Stoke have pushed the Reds down to 12th in the Premiership, and Liverpool fans will be optimistic of gaining a Champions League place this year.

The time may be right to punce on that elusive second away win as Blackpool have now lost two on the bounce in the Premiership, with a shocking 1-2 home defeat to Birmingham in their last game, and with talk that their star midfielder Charlie Adam is on his way out of Bloomfield Road in the January transfer window now looks a great time to get on the Reds.

Paddy Power are offering odds of around 10/11 on the away victory, and that looks just about value for us to jump on.

Northampton are traditionally one of the hardest teams to beat in England and they are exactly the same price with the same bookmaker. London Irish have fallen way off the pace and are now priced at 20s across the board.

It is in fact Northampton who are the favourites to top the table by the end of the season, not taking into account the title play-off matches. The Saints are 4/5 with Bet365 and Paddy Power to pull this off, which is a good investment.

There is plenty of choice to pick from in terms of who will finish the season with the most tries. Tom Varndell currently leads the way with Paddy Power offering a best price of 11/4 on him scoring more than anyone else. Topsy Ojo is the same price with the same bookmaker but drifts constantly.

A good outside bet could be Chris Ashton or Scott Hamilton who are both priced at 9/2 to go over the try line more times than any other player in the league.

Both Northampton and Leicester are the odds on favourites to get into the play-off title final at the end of the rugby year. Northampton are 8/13 with Paddy Power to reach the final while Leicester are 4/6. Bath are a good outside bet at 5s with the same bookmaker.

Leeds have not moved since the start of the season and remain heavy favourites to go down. Stan James offers a best price of 4/11 and this could be a good way for punters to make back on some losses.
