Chelsea need to get back to winning ways this weekend against Arsenal after an unexpected loss at QPR and despite some suspensions Chelsea should be looking to not only pick up three points but also to land some bets for Chelsea fans in the process.
Chelsea are the favourites to win this match but it is still a little surprising to see what price they are to gain the three points, Chelsea are available at 4/6 and that looks a good price considering Chelsea have won all four home league games this season. Add to that the fact that Arsenal have picked up a shocking one point from their four away matches in the league this season and it begins to look very hard for Arsenal to get anything from this game. If you think Arsenal can get a result then you are looking at odds of 16/5 on a draw and Arsenal are 5/1 to pick up all three points.
Chelsea have the superior record at home to Arsenal, in the last seven league matches at Stamford Bridge between these two teams Arsenal have won just once, there have been two draws and Chelsea have won four times. Many of those games will have been against better Arsenal teams too so Chelsea so look good value at 4/6.
Chelsea have won the last two games against Arsenal 2-0 at Stamford Bridge and that looks the most likely scoreline again considering the superiority Chelsea should have, the 2-0 scoreline can be backed at 15/2 at the time of writing. The only player who looks capable of scoring for Arsenal is Robin Van Persie so a saver on the Dutchman to score at anytime should be worthwhile in case Arsenal do nick a goal, Van Persie can be backed at 12/5 to score anytime.
As for Chelsea’s most likely scorers, Dider Drogba is suspended so Fernando Torres is the favourite to score first at 4/1 (Torres is 11/10 to score anytime) whilst Daniel Sturridge is next best at 5/1 to score first and 11/8 to score anytime. The best value could lie with Frank Lampard though, you know he will get into the goalscoring positions and 7/1 to score first and 2/1 to score anytime might underestimate his chances a little.
Are Chelsea good value to win this match at 4/6? What will the final score be? Who will score for Chelsea? If you fancy putting a bet on this match, bookmaker Paddy Power is offering money back IF there is a red card in the match.
