The countdown is on for the Premiership's 15,000th goal, and skybet are offering a whole host of markets for football fans looking to cash in on a moment of history.

So far, 14,993 goals have been scored in the League since its inception in 1992 so it is likely history will be made during Saturday's full fixture programme.

Charlton and Aston Villa play in the only early kick-off, live on PremPlus from12.45pm, but with both teams finding goals hard to come by, the odds they will score the 15,000th are 66/1 and 50/1 respectively.

Free-scoring Manchester United, who entertain Reading in one of the eight 3pm kick-offs, look a much safer bet and are joint favourites at 7/1 along with Chelsea, who play host to Fulham.

Top scorer Didier Drogba (28/1) is the favourite player to score the all important goal with Wayne Rooney a 33/1 shot, in-form Nicolas Anelka 40/1 and Ronaldo 50/1.

Tottenham's Jermain Defoe, who scored the Premiership's 14,000th goal against Birmingham last December, is a 66/1 shot, while it's 20/1 for anyone who scores an own goal.

There are also prices available for how the goal will find the back of the net with 5/1 available if it is scored from outside the area and 6/4 inside the six-yard box. It is 4-1 for a header.

League sponsors Barclays are also offering a £15,000 donation to the club charity of the player who scores the landmark goal.






So who's your money on?
