Torres odds-on to continue barren spell
FERNANDO TORRES has gone 17 games without scoring for Chelsea and he is odds-on for more misery when the Blues host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard has reasonably fond memories of tackling United – a missed open goal at Old Trafford apart – with four goals in his last seven appearances against the Red Devils but bookmakers are not expecting more Torres magic.
Bet365 rate El Nino 2-5 not to score in the 90 minutes, while those who fancy the £50m forward to finally start paying off that hefty transfer fee can grab 66-1 about a Torres hat-trick against the champions.
However, bet365 go only 3-1 for Torres' barren run to continue for at least the next five fixtures with games against Everton, Birmingham, Napoli and Bolton following the United blockbuster.
