Paddy Power is offering 10/1 that Steven Gerrard’s next on-pitch hand gesture is a repeat of Monday night's ‘v-sign’.
The Liverpool captain, in hot water after an alleged two-fingered salute to the ref in Monday night's defeat to Wigan, has endured a frustrating season in his team's battle to reach the top four and Paddy Power are betting on what hand gesture the beleaguered midfielder well next be seen making during a game by TV cameras. Other gestures include a victory sign at 6/1, the ‘a-ok’ at 8/1 or a ‘Gareth Hunt’ wrist shake at 12/1.
It’s odds-on 1/2 for a traditional thumbs-up from the midfielder and 50/1 that Gerrard's next on pitch hand gesture is a three-fingered salute to signify a hat-trick.
Liverpool are now 11/4 to capture the fourth spot in the race to the Champions League places with Rafa currently 13/8 to not be manager at the start of next season. Jose Mourinho and Kenny Dalglish are 3/1 joint favourites to be Benitez’s permanent successor.
Full-Back Betting
Despite both currently sitting in the treatment room Ashley Cole and Glen Johnson are 1/3 and 1/6 respectively to make England's starting line-up for the opening World Cup game against USA. With Johnson and Wes Brown both battling injuries, Micah Richards is seen as the next in line for the right-back berth at 9/1 whilst Gary Neville is 40/1 for unlikely return to international football.
Paddy Power are also betting on England’s full-back combination for the game against USA. Fabio Capello's first choice preference of an Ashley Cole - Glen Johnson combination is 8/15 followed by Leighton Baines-Glen Johnson at 13/2. Should both of the first choice defenders (Cole and Johnson) not return to fitness in time Paddy Power make a Wes Brown-Leighton Baines pairing as the most likely amongst the contenders at 40/1. A Wayne Bridge-Gary Neville pairing is 500/1.
