Mark Viduka to be top scorer in the Premiership (each way) 40-1 (Paddy Power) Stop sniggering at the back. That pesky summer break came while The Duke was in the midst of a red-hot run of form. He scored five in Middlesbrough's final four Premiership games last season and netted three in four games for Australia despite clearly not enjoying the humid conditions of the recent Asian Cup. He'll be Sam Allardyce's main man at Newcastle and 10-1 is big that he finishes in the top four scorers, just like he did last season.
Bolton Wanderers to be relegated from the Premiership 6-1 (Paddy Power) Whether you liked to watch them or not, you had to admire the work Sam Allardyce did at Bolton, turning a lowly second-tier team into a consistent top-eight side.
With his departure, struggles may await. They tailed off badly towards the end of last season, winning only two games in the calendar year and, with an unsettled striker (Nicolas Anelka) and the uninspiring signing of Aston Villa cast-offs, it could be a tough season for Sammy Lee.
Jelena Jankovic to win the US Open 8-1 (Paddy Power) A semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows last year, Serbia's Jelena Jankovic looks capable of taking the step up to a major title. Last year, she beat Nicole Vaidisova, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Elena Dementieva . . . all of them top-10 players . . . before losing to Justine Henin after a disputed line call upset her flow. With more experience under her belt now after an impressive season and with a kind draw likely due to her top-three ranking, she's long at 8-1.
