January Transfer Window Betting Odds Suggest Liverpool, Spurs and Man City Could Make Big Moves This Week

 Subscribe in a reader

There is just a week left in the January Transfer Window and some bookies are taking bets on where several high profiles players will be playing their football next month. It can often be hard to make big signings in January as clubs are more reluctant to let their best players leave mid season but Aston Villa and Man City have already made big signings this month and there could be a few more big transfers to come.

The most certain transfer that could happen this month appears to be Blackpool’s Charlie Adam to Liverpool. He is long odds on to make that move in the next week and if he doesn’t go to Liverpool, the bookies think he will move to Aston Villa or Everton.  Either way it seems he will leave Blackpool this month.

Emmanuel Adebayor is massively out of favour at Eastlands and he has been linked with a move away from Man City for some time now. Reports this week suggest he could be on his way to Monaco and the bookies agree, he is odds on to join his former club, Real Madrid see the other option with Jose Mourinho likely to be in for a striker with his star man Gonzalo Higuain out injured.

No transfer window would be complete without plenty of ins and outs at White Hart Lane and it looks as though Spurs could still be making some changes up front. It has been well publicized that they are after a striker and if Andy Carroll moves, Spurs are the favourites to sign the Geordie striker.  There could also be some moves the other way – Fulham are now the favourites to sign away striker Robbie Keane whilst Sunderland could look to replace Darren Bent with Roman Pavlyuchenko.  They are favourites to sign the Russian if he moves but he looks more likely to remain at Tottenham until the end of the season.

Blackburn v Liverpool preview- January 5, 2011

Posted on January 03rd, 2011 in English Premiership

Game :- Blackburn vs Liverpool

Ewood Park, Blackburn

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

Liverpool will look to build on their last gasp win over Bolton Wanderers when they meet Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Wednesday. Bet on Blackburn vs Liverpool with PaddyPower after reading our preview at Sportsbookie.com.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson made a few changes from the side that had lost 1-0 to Wolves. Instead of starting Meireles on the right wing, he put him in the centre, and started with Maxi Rodriguez and Kuyt on the wings. Daniel Agger and Fabio Aurelio came into defence at the expense of Kyrgiakos and Konchesky respectively.

Meireles was injured midway through the first half and was replaced by talismanic skipper Steven Gerrard, who started the game on the bench due to fatigue. If Gerrard, Lucas and Meireles are all fit for the Blackburn game, it will be interesting to see what formation Hodgson adopts.

Liverpool did play better, but it was Bolton who went ahead through Kevin Davies. A splendid team move from the Reds culminated in Torres netting the equaliser and substitute Joe Cole gave Roy Hodgson more breathing space with his stoppage time winner.

Blackburn had a miserable outing in midweek as they went down to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. The Lancashire outfit were dominated from start to finish and struggled to really get going against Steve Bruce’s Wearsiders.

Striker Nikola Kalinic remains suspended for this fixture.
