The Chelsea v Stoke betting and odds suggest it’s not a case of if Chelsea win, but by how many. You can check out the latest Betfair markets here. Stoke have been at more than 30/1 during the week!
Chelsea go into the game off the back of two six-nil wins, while Stoke have yet to pick up a point after defeats by Wolves and Spurs. Visit Betfair’s betting odds to take advantge of their free £25 bet offer by using this link.
Chelsea: 1/8 with Betfred, Stoke: 28/1 with Betfred, Draw: 8/1 with Stan James
Last time this was 7-0 and Chelsea are in quite devastating enough form already, so could another rout be on the cards? Chelsea have no njury problems and do have the option of throwing in new signing Ramires for his debut in this contest with the most traditionally English of teams. Solomon Kalou got a hat-trick in that match but is probably going to have to sit on the bench.
Stoke expect to be without Kenwyne Jones and probably Asmir Begovic who is in hot water after a supposed failure to play in their Carling Cup game. You expect their mindset will to be to limit the damage, but they do have good players and it’s a dismal sign of the lack of competitive nature of the Premier League if they roll up just praying not to be smashed.
Chelsea are unopposable at 1/8 with Betfred – you can claim a free £50 bet from them – but if you are more ambitious go for a low scoring match. We expect a fight from Stoke here.
