Nick Clegg is the 4/5 favourite with SkyBet to win this evening’s televised debate, having vanquished both Gordon Brown (8/1) and David Cameron (4/5) in the opening round last week.

Since then, however, Clegg has had to answer some difficult questions in the press, regarding donations to the Liberal Democrats, and allegations about his personal finances.

He hasn’t had it quite as bad as David Cameron, who suffered a vicious assult, by an egg weidling teenager, on Wednesday and SkyBet make it 100/1 that a member of the audience hits the Conservative leader with an egg again this evening.

Since the last debate the whole of Europe has ground to a halt, due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland, and the party leaders will undoubtedly want to talk about that this evening. Gordon Brown is the 11/8 favourite to be the first of the trio to utter the word “volcano”, followed by Cameron (7/4) and then Clegg (2/1).

The Liberal Democrats chief may want to talk about longer standing issues, such as nuclear arms, and it is 5/4 that he mentions trident in his opening speech.

None of the election candidates are likely to be very relaxed, although they will be doing their utmost to appear so, and Clegg is the favourite to be the first one of the three to put his hands in his pockets. Cameron is 2/1 to beat him to it, whilst the stoic Brown is 5/1.
