Ladbrokes are 5.00 (4/1) about the winner of this season’s Premiership going on to lift the 2007/08 Champions League. Bet Asia examines this speciality betting market.

The bookies offer 2.50 (6/4) about a top-flight team winning Europe’s premier club competition this term.

Liverpool are 3.50 (5/2) to still be bottom of their group following tonight’s game against Besiktas. The Anfield-based club are 2.50 (6/4) to progress to the knock out stages, whilst Celtic are 5.00 (4/1) to make it through.

The layers offer 101.00 (100/1) about all six of Britain’s representatives claiming maximum points.

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: “Liverpool are in the last chance saloon with regards their Champions League campaign. They desperately need a win if they’re to harbour any realistic hopes of progressing.”
