Middlesbrough defender Robert Huth could be in line for a Barclays Premiership debut for the club against Everton a week on Saturday.

The £6million signing played another 90 minutes for the reserves in their 1-1 draw with Blackburn at Ewood Park last night as he continued his comeback from ankle surgery.

Huth, a 22-year-old Germany international, arrived at the Riverside Stadium on transfer deadline day after proving he had recovered from the operation.

However, despite being handed his first team bow in the 1-0 Carling Cup defeat by Notts County, manager Gareth Southgate has been keen to see him regain full match fitness before putting him into the first team.

That day is now fast approaching, and assistant boss Malcolm Crosby believes he could be ready to face Everton at the Riverside Stadium on October 14 after the break for international matches.

Crosby told the club's official website, www.mfc.co.uk: "I thought that was Robert's best game so far.

"He looked strong and fit and his tackling was top drawer, as was his distribution.

"He is not far away now and I fully expect him to come into contention against Everton.

"We have a two-week break now, which is ideal for Robert. Myself and Gareth will be keeping a close eye on him."

Huth might have joined Boro much earlier in the summer, but the ankle injury he had picked up on World Cup duty with his country saw the deal stall.

He was sent back to Chelsea to have his operation and undergo rehabilitation.

The Teessiders finally pushed through the transfer with just hours of the summer window to spare as Southgate got his hands on a man he had identified as a major target despite late interest from derby rivals Newcastle.

Huth was signed as a partner for Jonathan Woodgate, who is on a season's loan from Real Madrid.

However, with Chris Riggott battling his way back from an ankle injury picked up in training, versatile Austrian Emanuel Pogatetz has lined up alongside the former Leeds and Newcastle player.

Despite Woodgate's excellent start, Boro have struggled to keep clean sheets and with goals in short supply at the other end, they have limped through the first few weeks of the campaign.

Huth's inclusion would come as a boost, and he could soon be joined by fellow newcomer Julio Arca.

The 25-year-old Argentinian broke his foot in the opening day defeat at Reading and has been sidelined ever since.

But he managed to get 68 minutes under his belt for the reserves and will now work to regain his fitness before challenging youngster Andrew Taylor and Pogatetz for the left-back spot.

A GUARANTEED PROFIT ON ASTON VILLA v TOTTENHAM

Paul Robinson will be hoping that there are no divots on the Villa Park pitch but whether there are or not, we can guarantee you a profit on the match, whatever the result.

What we are going to do is back Aston Villa with Betfred in the hope of cashing in the Betfred bonus of your first bet winnings matched, up to £100.

We are also going to back both Tottenham and the draw so that we ensure that we end up in profit on this bet, whatever the result. Read on and you will find out how.

We're going to lay out a total of £162.00 on the match and we will collect £210.80 if Aston Villa win. But if Tottenham win, we will collect £200.00 and if it's a draw, we will get all our money back. Whatever the result, we will also gain £25.00 in free bets.

Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.

1. Open accounts with Betfred and Totesport and Extrabet. This shouldn't take you any longer than ten minutes.

2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts. Deposit £62.00 into your new Betfred account. Deposit £50 into your new Totesport account. Deposit £50 into your new Extrabet account.

3. Now make the following bets.

Place £62.00 on Aston Villa to win at 6/5 with Betfred.

Place £50 on the draw at 9/4 with Totesport

Place £50 on Tottenham to win at 2/1 with Extrabet

You have temporarily laid out a total of £162.00. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.

4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.

If Aston Villa win, you will collect £210.80 from Betfred, including your stake back and your first win bonus. This money can be withdraw immediately.

We've had a few mails recently saying that our figures are wrong because people are forgetting about the Betfred bonus. When you are checking our figures, don't forget that Betfred double your winnings up to £100 if your first bet is a winner, so with this bet you will collect the following if Villa win.

£74.40 winnings, doubled, plus your £62.00 stake back which equals £210.80

If it's a draw, you will collect £162.50 from Totesport

If Tottenham win, you will collect £200.00 from Extrabet.

As with Betfred, Extrabet also pay a bonus on your first bet. What they do is match your first bet up to £25.00 so if Spurs win, you will collect the following:

£100.00 winnings, plus £50.00 winnings from your free matched bet plus your £50.00 stake back which equals £200.00.

Totesport will also credit your new account with a £25 free bet whatever the result of the match.

5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Aston Villa v Tottenham match is a draw and you make £0.50 and gain a £25.00 free bet. But if Villa win, you make £48.80 clean profit plus a £25.00 free bet and if Spurs win, you make £38.00 clean profit plus a £25.00 free bet.

This method of betting was used very successfully during the World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.

It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for three seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.

Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
