Marquee Match of the Week
Chelsea host Arsenal in the very first match of the weekend. Arsenal must win this match if they are to remain in the title chase. The last time Arsenal won at Stamford Bridge was in 2011. They will be low on confidence as well after their unexpected loss against Watford last week. However, they have won their earlier home match against Chelsea 3-0. They need an extra ordinary performance from someone like Alexis Sánchez or Mesut Özil. Otherwise, Chelsea will run away with the match with the dazzling array of attackers. Silken football skills will be on display as both the teams field attractive ball players. As for online betting, bookmakers favour Chelsea. A punt on an Arsenal win is attractive, but a bit adventurous as well.
Other Interesting Fixtures
Manchester United visit Leicester City on Sunday. Leicester’s current form (three losses in a row) suggests that United are the favourites. However, odds for a draw in online betting is really attractive. You can almost triple your money if the match ends in a draw. United’s last three matches were draws, which take their total draw tally of the season to nine. Only Tottenham have managed more draws in this season so far. There is a good chance that this match too will end in a draw.
There is a battle of equals between Watford and Burnley, two of the unsung attacking teams of the season. Watford start favourites simply because they play at home. Burnley’s matches rarely end in draws. They have played out only two draws this season – and they are on part with Chelsea on this. Check out the odds of this match for online betting. You will not be disappointed.
