FOLLOWING Arsenals 6-3 thrashing of Liverpool at Anfield,
bookies Paddy Power have slashed the odds of Liverpool manager Rafa
Benitez being the next Premiership manager to lose his
job.
The Spaniard was a 50/1 outsider in the Premiership sack race but
has now tumbled to just 16/1.
The 6-3 scoreline was available at a whopping 2,500/1 before kick
off - the biggest ever correct score odds in living memory
according to Paddy Power. And the bookie reports not having taken a
single winning bet on the correct score prediction.
Chelsea remain hot favourites at 8/15 to go on and win the Carling
Cup ahead of their match with outsiders Wycombe. Arsenal are now
3/1 second favourites.
Paddy Power said, "Liverpool were hot favourites to win tonight and
boy did we get it wrong.
"I know its a funny old game and all that, but nine goals at
Anfield?
"Its the most unlikely ever correct score that I can remember and
if anyone had been lucky enough, or crazy enough to back it, they
would have weighed in with tasty odds of 2,500/1"
