British bookmakers have indicated that they have received a flurry of activity from gamblers who believe Manchester United will be paired with Liverpool in the semi-final of the Champions League.
British-based bookmakers William Hill have announced today that many of their punters are backing a Manchester United - Liverpool semi-final in the Champions League. This follows the English clean-sweep in the round of 16 and the Reds' humbling of United in their recent fixture at Old Trafford.
The bookies also added that Liverpool are the popular choice at present to go all the way in the competition and bring yet another Champions League trophy to the bulging cabinet at Anfield.
Graham Sharpe, a spokesperson for William Hill, is quoted by The Mirror as saying, "Whether they want to bet on the coincidence of United and Liverpool being drawn together after their recent Premier League game, or on the conspiracy theory that some way will be found to keep the Premier League clubs together to lessen the chances of one or two of them reaching the final, is difficult to say, but that's definitely the way punters are thinking."
The odds of a United and Liverpool semi-final are 13/2.
For the Merseyside outfit to win the tournament outright, the price currently offered is 4/1.
There are eight teams left in the current stage of the competition: Arsenal; Barcelona; Chelsea; Bayern; Porto; Liverpool; Manchester United; and Villarreal.
