Villa cut for the drop as Reds swoop for Benteke
ASTON VILLA were cut to 7-2 from 9-2 for relegation by Betway after it was reported that Liverpool are set to trigger a £32.5m release clause in striker Christian Benteke’s contract.
Villa are still 9-2 to go down with BoyleSports and Paddy Power and can be backed at 2-9 to stay in the Premier League with Ladbrokes.
Benteke was cut to 16-1 from 20-1 to be Premier League top scorer by several firms and he is joint-fourth favourite to be top marksman after Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and Harry Kane.
