Hat-trick hero Theo 40-1 for golden touch

THEO WALCOTT has shown he can be successful as the main central striker for Arsenal and he is 40-1 with BetVictor to win the Premier League Golden Boot after helping himself to a hat-trick in the 7-3 mauling of Newcastle at the Emirates on Saturday.

The Englishman, who is out of contract this summer, moved on to a league tally of eight with only six players Gareth Bale (nine), Jermain Defoe (ten), Luis Suarez (11), Michu (13), Demba Ba (13) and Robin van Persie (14) ahead of him in the goalscoring charts.

Ba’s brace in north London saw him cut to 10-1 to claim the Golden Boot but van Persie’s is the 11-8 favourite to retain his crown following another goal for Manchester United in their 2-0 success over West Brom at Old Trafford.

B Dortmund v B Munich

Home Win Draw Away Win
Key stats
  • Bayern Munich have won 24 of their last 26 games in all competitions
  • Borussia Dortmund have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten matches
Expert verdict
Bayern Munich were pipped by Chelsea in last season's Champions League final but they can make amends against compatriots Borussia Dortmund this term. Bayern's form has been incredibly consistent throughout the season and their array of attacking talent could be too much for a Dortmund defence who wobbled against Malaga and Real Madrid.
