Chelsea FC backed to axe Fernando Torres AND Andre Villas-Boas

Andre Villas-Boas and Fernando Torres have been backed to BOTH leave Chelsea before the start of next season.

Villas-Boas saw his Chelsea side go 3-0 up at home to Manchester United on Sunday, only for the Red Devils to mount a stunning comeback at Stamford Bridge and end the game 3-3.

Torres created one of Chelsea's goals but yet again failed to find the net and bookmakers William Hill have cut their odds on both AVB and the club's £50million record signing no longer being in west London next season.

Torres is an 11/2 chance to fail to score a Premier League goal for the rest of the season, while Villas-Boas is now just Evens to have left the job by the first day of next season.

Hills also offer just 7/2 that BOTH Torres and AVB will be gone by the start of the next campaign.

Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe told Crunchsports.com: "Nothing much has been going right for either Torres or AVB recently and neither of them can be over optimistic that they will still be employed by Chelsea at the start of next season."
