Chelsea Are Short Price For Victory on Sunday

T-Minus four and counting. Yes just four days now until the start of the new Premier League season for Chelsea, and we thought it would be a good idea to have a look at some early betting odds ahead of the game on Sunday.

Chelsea may have been performing well in pre-season, but at the end of last season they failed to win any of their remaining three games and lost their last two away from Stamford Bridge. Last season they drew at Stoke and for a repeat result this Sunday odds of 14/5 (3.80) are on offer. For the game to end 1-1 bwin are offering a decent price of 27/4 (7.75), but Chelsea will want a win to get their season off on the right foot.

In their last four visits to Stoke Chelsea have come away with three wins and a draw, and the last time Stoke beat Chelsea in any fixture was way back in 1975. For Chelsea to win the game Bet365 are offering the best price of all the leading bookmakers which is 4/6 (1.67), a price that many a Blues fan will be taking.

Didier Drogba has scored in the last two games at Stoke, and if you think he will grab the opening goal of the game on Sunday odds of 5/1 (6.0) are available today. Fernando Torres would love to get off the mark with an early goal at the weekend, and if you think he will score the opening goal Sportingbet are offering decent odds of 9/2 (5.50).

John Terry has the habit of scoring from corners and free-kicks, and for the skipper to open the scoring a massive price of 22/1 (23.0) is available now at SkyBet.

Chelsea fans will not mind who scores at the weekend as long as their team wins, a win that would set them up for the tough challenge that lies ahead.
