Barton is certainly not the most popular of players, but few can deny his talent, ability and determination. The 28-year-old put in a number of high quality performances for the Magpies last season, which helped the club achieve a respectable 12^th place finish in their first season back in the Premier League. Newcastle’s surprise decision to release the midfielder opens up an intriguing betting market as a number of big club’s begin to express their interest in snapping up the player on a free transfer.

Barton is not short of self-confidence and often boasts about how he is one of the most gifted midfielders in England, so it is almost certain that he will opt for a club in England’s top flight. The bookmakers Betfred have placed Tottenham as the 5/2 favourites to secure the services of Barton. If anyone can get the best of the contentious player then it’s surely Harry Redknapp, who is well known for his player-management and motivational skills. Elsewhere, Everton are in the running with odds of 100/30, as are Arsenal at 9/2 and Stoke City at 11/2. Defending Premier League champions Man Utd are also up there at 8/1, however, at present they are more concerned with prizing Wesley Sneijder away from Inter Milan.

Betfred also have Barton at just 6/1 to follow in Nolan’s footsteps and join Championship club West Ham and long odds of 50/1 to return to his former club Man City, with the same odds to join Premier League giants Chelsea.

Whoever Barton decides to join is definitely in for an entertaining ride. If the player can continue to control his aggression and fiery temper, as he did last season, then football supporters can start to enjoy the more positive aspects of his game that can make him a welcome addition to many top flight clubs.

Chelsea last won the FA Cup in 2007 under Jose Mourinho but four managers later, they have not won anything since. Current manager Guus Hiddink is set to step down after this game and after being in contention for the Premier and Champions League just a month ago, the Dutchman and Chelsea fans alike will be desperate to finish the season on a high.

Everton will be equally as desperate to finish the season on a high and after being crowned Premier League manager of the season, David Moyes will be hoping that he can secure his first major honour as Everton boss.

Fa Cup Final Odds (90 Minutes)
Chelsea – 8/11
Everton – 9/2
Draw – 23/10

The two league meetings between the sides this season both finished 0-0 and whilst neutrals will be hoping for a more entertaining game at Wembley, there is every chance that this is going to be another close game and a third consecutive goalless draw is priced at 7/1. That would result in a likely penalty shootout, for which, Everton are priced at 10/1 and Chelsea 8/1 to lift the cup as a reuslt of winning after spot kicks.

Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 in Saturday’s first Semi Final and Everton overcame Man Utd on penalties following a 0-0 draw in Sunday’s second Semi Final. Bookmakers Ladbrokes have installed Chelsea as the 4/9  favourites for Wednesday’s live Sky Sports game and the Blues are also favourites to win the FA Cup at a not too much bigger price of 1/2.  Ladbrokes also make Everton are 6/4 to win the FA Cup but are much bigger at 7/1 to win at Stamford Bridge, a result that would end Chelsea’s outside chances of winning the Premier League.

The stats don’t provide much hope for the Toffees who have not beaten Chelsea in 21 times of asking, last beating the Blues back in 2001 and their last win at Stamford Bridge cam back in the 1994/95 season – the same season that Everton last won the FA Cup.

Anyone having a bet on this game will surely have to side with Guus Hiddink’s men who have lost just once in all competitions since the Dutchman took charge in February and Didider Drogba, match winner for Chelsea over Arsenal at Wembley is the man who has been responsible for most of the goals during that sequenece of impressive results. Drogba has scored 9 times in the 12 games he has played under Hiddink, including scoring in each of the last four games and looks a sure fire bet to score at any time against Everton and at 11/10 with Victor Chandler, it is hard to put you off and the same firm go 4/1 that he scores the first goal in the game.

The striker who has been involved with 6 clubs during his career including Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur  was hoping to stay at Liverpool at team he has supported since a child.  His total transfer value has been £58,300,000 during which he has scored 138 goals in the process, working out to be £422,463 per goal!

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “It’s all gone wrong for Robbie and looks to be more a case of when and not if he moves on from Liverpool. Our punters think the game is up at Anfield and want to bet on where he goes next but the problem for Keane might be that there are few clubs in the current climate that can afford him.”

Everton must surely be backed to add to Newcastle’s misery at odds of 3/4, this is despite the Toffees having yet to win a home game this season. David Moyes will see this as the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways infront of their own fans. An Everton 3-0 victory looks a good bet at 12/1 with Paddypower and Yakubu cannot be overlooked for the first goalscorer at odds of 9/2.

If Yakubu scores the last goal in this game, Paddypower will refund all losing first goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on this game.

Everton have lost their first two home games, conceeding six goals in the process. Therefore, David Moyes will be hoping that the age old cliche about ‘form going out of the window in dery games’ is true as he looks to get his Everton side back to winning ways. Liverpool have started the season well and remain unbeaten after five games, lying just one point behind leaders Arsenal.

In recent years, the Merseyside Derby game at Goodison Park has been a happy hunting ground for Liverpool, winning six of the last eight encounters, whilst Everton have only taken six points from their rivals on home turf in eight years. Another interesting stat is that seven of the last eight meetings at Goodison have seen three or more goals scored in the game which makes the even money with paddypower.com about this trend continuing look like a good value bet.

The Paddypower cashback offer for this game is if either Tim Cahill or Steven Gerrard score the last goal in this game then they will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on the match.

Fernando Torres is the favourite to be the first goalscorer at odds of 9/2 with Robbie Keane second favourite at 13/2 to get both the first goal of this game and first goal in a Liverpool shirt. Everton’s biggest goal threat comes in the form of Yakubu who is 7/1 to give the Blue half of Merseysdie the lead.
