Chelsea will start their match against Stoke City at Stamford bridge on Saturday as massive 1/8 odds on favourites to win with Paddy Power, while Stoke are given absolutely no chance with odds to win of 28/1 and the draw given just a 7/1 chance of being realised. Such is the start that two sides have made to this season’s Premier League. Despite the 'no chance' nature of the odds against Stoke, we are always tempted to wager a small bet on odds that are too good to miss and at 28/1 we shall have a small punt – every now and again they come off!

Chelsea have made a blistering start to the new Premier League season with two 6-0 wins over West Bromwich Albion and Wigan and will know that the last time they met Stoke at Stamford bridge in April they won by 7-0 – making this a very scary match situation for Stoke boss, Tony Pulis. Add the fact that Chelsea manager, Carlo Ancelotti can pick his team from an almost full strength squad, then it is easy to see why Chelsea are such overwhelming favourites to win.
2010/11 Premier League Odds Comparison
Perhaps the only surprise in the match against Wigan is that striker, Didier Drogba didn’t score, particularly after scoring a hat trick the week before against West Brom. However, he does not stay too quiet when there are goals to be scored and he is surely a good bet to get amongst them again against Stoke. Drogba is:
9/4 to score the first goal of the game
6/5 To score Two goals or more
5/1 To score a hat-trick
These odds are all available with paddy power.
in fact Salomon Kalou was the hero against Stoke in the last game, scoring his only hat-trick for the club, while Frank Lampard netted twice., the two are 18/1 and 5/2 to repeat the feats in this match.
Stoke, despite having invested quite heavily in the pre-season on new players, have made an inauspicious start to the new campaign, losing two from two firstly by 1-2 to Wolves and then by the same score to Spurs, leaving them pointless near the foot of the table. The defeats have forced most Bookmakers to shorten their odds to be relegated this season from 5/1 to around 4/1, however they are still available at 9/2 from PaddyPower.
All in all this looks a straightforward home win, Stoke do not have anything that should hurt the Blues too much and we agree with the bookmakers that it is not a question of Chelsea winning, but more by how many. 6-0 has been a common scoreline so far this season in the Premier League and it could easily occur once again in this match, we doubt it however simply because the chances of three successive 6-0 wins for any team seems highly unlikely. We would therefore go for the more modest scoreline of 4-0, which carries odds of 15/2.
Selection 1: Chelsea to win 4-0 @ 15/2 (£25 Bet wins £187.50)
Selection 2: Drogba to score a hat-trick @ 5/1 (£25 Bet wins £125)
Selection 3: Stoke to win match @ 28/1 (£5 Bet wins £140)
