RDM 8-13 for Bridge job after Blues hit R's for six

CHELSEA interim manager Roberto Di Matteo is 8-13 with bet365 to be given the permanent Stamford Bridge role by Roman Abramovich after the Blues followed-up their reaching of the FA Cup and Champions League finals with a 6-1 thumping of local rivals of QPR on Sunday.

The Blues' walloping of the Hoops means that there is well and truly a three-way battle for fourth spot in the Premier League - between Tottenham and Newcastle on 62 points and the Blues on 61 - with each having three games left.

And Arsenal will not feel totally safe in third - on 66 but having played a match more - either.

The Blues are 11-8 to finish in the Champions League qualification spots while Tottenham, who all but sealed Blackburn’s demotion with a 2-0 victory over Rovers at White Hart Lane, are 5-6 for a top-four finish.

Of course, if the Blues beat Bayern Munich at their Allianz Arena-home in the Champions League final then they won't have to finish in the top four to book a berth in Europe's top club competition next season.

Fernando Torres, who hit a hat-trick against the R's to confirm the return of confidence and scoring form, is 11-4 with bet365 to score against Bayern (must start and 1-4 not to) and 12-1 to bag the Premier League golden boot next campaign.

Bet365 now make Chelsea 3-10 to win a trophy this term (12-5 not to) and 7-2 to do the cup double.

Blackburn are 1-33 to follow relegated Wolves into the Championship and QPR are deemed the most likely side to join them – the Hoops are 4-6 to go down while Bolton, on the same number of points but with a game in hand, are 6-4 for the drop.

Hills offer 5-2 that they are relegated on goal difference.
