Ancelotti 2-1 for Real return with Rafa rocking
CARLO ANCELOTTI is 2-1 with Hills to make a dramatic return to the Real Madrid hotseat after Real called a press conference for Monday night following their 4-0 home thumping by Barcelona on Saturday evening.
Ancelotti, who left the Bernabeu in the summer after two years at the helm, is joint-favourite in the firm's next Real Madrid manager market with legendary former player Zinedine Zidane. Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho, who bossed Los Blancos from May 2010 until June 2013, is 8-1. Hills then go 12-1 Julen Lopetegui and Paco Jimenez, 14-1 Andre Villas Boas and 20-1 Mauro Pochettino. It is 25-1 bar.
Also on Monday lunchtime, Arsenal confirmed that midfielder Francis Coquelin is sidelined for at least two months with the knee injury sustained in Saturday afternoon's 2-1 defeat at West Brom.
Bookmakers don't think Coquelin's absence - or that of Mikel Arteta too - will affect the Gunners in Tuesday night's crunch Champions League clash with Dynamo Zagreb.They are 2-9 shots and Aaron Ramsey has returned to the squad.
Arsene Wenger's charges are no bigger than 2-9 to prevail and even then victory would be no guarantee of keeping hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. Bet365 go 1-3 that the Gunners finish third in Group F and drop into the Europa League, 7-2 that they finish second and 7-1 that they finish fourth and their continental adventures end for the campaign. Bet365 have chalked up Arsenal at 12-1 for the Europa League this season (all in, qualify or not).
Chelsea are considered shoo-ins for victory on Tuesday night too - 4-1 at Maccabi Tel Aviv- and Betway go 3-1 that the Gunners and Blues both to win to nil.
Bet365 offer 9-1 about Barcelona claiming a treble of the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey.
