Wednesday's market moves

Last updated: 27th August 2008

Nemanja Vidic Manchester United

Vidic - not a big fan of Manchester.

Sky Bet have once again been quick to react to all the latest big football news with a host of new markets.

Robinho is on the brink of a big-money move to Chelsea, according to his representative, and he's 3/1 to score on his debut for the Blues and 33/1 to be the PFA Player of the Year.

Meanwhile Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is potentially moving in the other direction after hinting he would be interested in a move to Spain after criticising life in England.

The Serbia international is not a big fan of the English way of life and is unhappy with the weather in Manchester.

So it's no surprise that Sky Bet have opened up a market on his next club and make Barcelona and Real Madrid their 7/2 joint favourites.

And they also offer 33/1 that he refuses to play a Premier League game because it's too wet!

Finally, with Russia striker Roman Pavlyuchenko claiming he's joining Spurs it's a 7/4 shot that he finds the net on his league debut.

Duo eye UEFA Cup glory

Aston Villa and Manchester City turn to the European stage tomorrow and Sky Bet are offering 16/1 for either team to lift the UEFA Cup this season.

Martin O'Neill's Villa side take a three-goal advantage into their second leg match against Icelandic side Hafnarfjordur and it's 4/11 for the Villa match to see the fastest goal from the two matches and 2/1 for the Man City match to produce the quickest goal.

It's 13/8 for both Man City and Aston Villa to keep clean sheets and 5/6 for a total of over 5.5 goals to be scored in both matches.

Man City must overcome a one-goal deficit after losing out to Danish side Midtjylland in their first leg and Sky Bet are offering 4/6 for the Citizens to win in 90 minutes, 11/10 for City to be leading at half time, 6/4 for City to win to nil and 8/11 for Mark Hughes' men to qualify.
