Ladbrokes: MU and Arsenal being backed strongly

Manchester United and Arsenal are being backed off the boards ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League games, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.The English sides had mixed fortunes at the weekend but have been heavily supported in their matches against Lille and Sparta Prague.United are 1/4 for victory at Old Trafford with the visitors 9/1 and a draw priced at 7/2. The Gunners, who are set to welcome back Thierry Henry are 10/11, with the Czech side 12/5 and the draw 9/4.Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "We saw some money for their opponents in the last round of matches but it's business as usual this week."We've also had plenty of interest for Henry to be first goalscorer at 3/1 and it would be no surprise if he bounces back from injury with a goal."Ladbrokes will refund all losing first and last goalscorer bets up to £250 if Xabi Alonso, Paul Scholes, Joe Cole or Francesc Fabregas score the last goal in their respective Champions League matches this week.LATEST BETTINGChampions league games 18/10/05Manchester United 1/4Draw 7/2Lille 9/1Arsenal 10/11Draw 9/4Sparta Prague 12/5
