Cesc Fabregas Injury A Blow For Arsenal And Aston Villa Could Grab Fourth Place In Premiership
Wednesday 24 December 2008 at 07:46
 Cesc Fabregas was yesterday ruled out of action for three to four months due to a cruciate knee ligament injury and with Arsenal already struggling in the Premiership relative to their usual high standards it looks as though the door is open for another side to sneak into fourth place.
Aston Villa Can Go Six Points Clear Of Arsenal
Arsenal face Aston Villa on Boxing Day and should Aston Villa win that game they would go six points clear of Arsenal. This would be disastrous for Arsenal's hopes of making it into the Champions League next season. Aston Villa are 5/4 with SkyBet to finish in the top 4, 1/3 with Bet365 and Coral to win the Premiership without the ‘big four' and 9/1 with Stan James to win the Premiership without the ‘big two' (Manchester United and Chelsea).
Arsenal Should Come Above Villa Say Bookies
Arsenal are still fancied to finish fourth by the bookies, SkyBet offer 8/13 about a top four finish for the Gunners.Bet365 and Coral are offering 7/2 that Arsenal finish top without the ‘big two'. That would involved them finishing ahead of Liverpool (who are 1/3 with Paddy Power to do the same) but Arsenal are eight points behind Liverpool.
Aston Villa Generous Odds To Beat Arsenal
Aston Villa look good value to defeat Arsenal on Boxing Day, they are 13/8 with Paddy Power to win the game and 2/1 with Bet365 and Stan James to get a draw. If Villa were to grab a win it would most likely be by a 1-0 scoreline and that is 15/2 with Sportingbet whilst 1-1 is 6/1 with SkyBet.
