WITH the winker out of the way, surely only injury can stop Fernando Torres finishing as Premier League topscorer this season. With some bookies only going 9-4, visit Ladbrokes, Corals or Betfred who have stuck their neck out and chalked up 4-1. I would have the bet with Fred as he's Manyoo's number one fan so taking his money in May will be all the sweeter.
The saver has to be on Nicolas Anelka, who is a big price at 12-1 with Paddy Power. He is the second best natural finisher in the league and did well last season.
Looking for dangers, at the best prices:
Didier Drogba (10-1 Ladbrokes) - has had too many injuries lately to be a serious bet.
Nicolas Anelka (12-1 Paddy Power) - looks the main danger as Ancelotti is likely to play him in the middle more than Hiddink did.
Wayne Rooney (12-1 Ladbrokes) - you can't do it anyway but it's asking a lot for him to suddenly treble his league goals tally - and he's likely to be banned for plenty of games too.
Steven Gerrard (20-1 Bet365) - will get plenty but, rightly or wrongly, he may be played deeper this season if Alonso packs his bags.
Michael Owen (20-1 Chandler) - not funny seeing him in that shirt but he's surely too injury-prone.
Can't have the following even at big prices: Tevez (25s) - runs around a lot but hardly ever scores, Van Persie (20s) - too injury-pr0ne, Robinho (20s) - will have 15 other strikers in his own team to compete with, same goes for Adebayor (20s).
Best each-way shot: Andrey Arshavin (33-1 Ladbrokes) - he's quite handy as we saw last season and will have many more opportunities with the Gooners looking a bit short up front. It's a quarter the odds for four places, so the advice is:
Main bet: Torres at 4-1 generally (not Billy Hill)
Saver: Anelka at 12-1 with Paddy Power
Each-way poke: Arshavin at 33-1 with Ladbrokes
