EUROPE is favourite to be the continent that provides the first goal scorer in tomorrow's (Sunday) Carling Cup Final, according to the bookies.
The first showpiece of the season could feature as many as 17 different nationalities as Chelsea take on London rivals Arsenal.
And with the Old Continent providing up to 11 of those Ladbrokes are taking no chances - offering 8/11 that they deliver the goods.
Africa, home of players including Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Adebayor and Jon Obi Mikel is 11/5 with South America the 6/1 outsider.
With four of the last eight meetings between the two clubs ending in stalemate after 90 minutes, the Magic Sign make Chelsea 8/1 and Arsenal 9/1 to triumph in extra-time. Both teams are 12/1 to lift the cup on penalties.
Ladbrokes have a host of special markets on the Carling Cup Final including total number of goals, cards and corners in both halves.
