Best Tip: Chelsea to win

We're predicting Chelsea will come out on top after 90 minutes on Sunday in the win / draw / win market. The recent form statistics and historical head-to-head (H2H) data below all suggest that they are more than capable of getting the job done and, as favourites with the bookies, the odds back that up too. It should be great moment for the home fans when the referee blows the final whistle at Stamford Bridge.
