Ladbrokes Specials

Ladbrokes are 8/13 about Didier Drogba being booked for simulation before Andrew Johnson, despite the latter having been signalled out by Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

And Johnson, dubbed as "untrustworthy" by the outspoken Blues boss, is 6/5 to go into the referee's book first for diving.

New Hammers boss Alan Curbishley is 5/4 to record the first defeat of his tenure against Fulham. Bookies go 7/2 that his first loss comes against Portsmouth, 11/2 Manchester City and the same price Reading - West Ham's first win under Curbishley will give the side greater belief they can get out of trouble. Their next few games are definitely winable.

Pompey contract rebel Nwankwo Kanu is 6/4 to no longer be at Fratton Park by the conclusion of the January transfer window.
