ARSENE WENGER could take charge of his last Champions League game in the return leg against Milan according to Ladbrokes.
The bookies are offering just 6/4 that it's his last ever Champions League match at the club following their drubbing in the first leg and also feel that it's the right time to take on Arsenal all competitions - offering 6/4 they beat Sunderland in the FA Cup this weekend.
Chelsea should oblige against Birmingham at odds of 2/7 but if Chris Hughton's men defy their 10/1 price and win it's 25/1 that Villas-Boas is then out of a job by midnight on Sunday. The firm offer 13/8 that both struggling managers (Wenger & AVB) are still in their jobs for the first match of the Premier League next season.
Crawley are the best backed outsider for the upset so far this weekend at 13/5 with some money also around for a draw in the Liverpool - Brighton match at 9/2.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "We feel it's the right time to take Arsenal on. They tend to exit competitions in snatches and if they lose at the weekend Wenger's odds of staying in charge will certainly shorten."
He added: "The four sides at odds-on are sure to form the bedrock of every multiple. Early money suggests Brighton may be the side to do us a favour."
