Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

Liverpool are struggling so badly that surely it's only a matter of time before they bring back that lesbian-looking blond geezer who played up front for them last season.

Once fancied in a Liverpool shirt to win the Balon d'Or, Fernando Torres these days seems more concerned with the exit door. At Birmingham last weekend he looked like a man who would have preferred to be anywhere else. Birmingham tends to have that affect.

As Liverpool prepare to take on Steaua Bucharest in the Channel Five Cup tonight, Hills make Torres an 8-13 chance to be playing for another club on the first day of next season. A year ago that would have been terrible news for Liverpool fans; now it's terrible news only for the fans of whichever club he signs for.

Liverpool are 11-10 to go further in the Europa League than Manchester City, who are at Red Bull Salzburg tonight. Red Bull normally gives you wings but City have been quoted £26million.

An all-English final is 16-1 and an English triumph 11-4.

Europa League (Hills) 11-4 Champions League casualty, 5-1 Man City, 9-1 Liverpool, 11-1 Juventus, 12-1 Sevilla, 14-1 bar.
