This is the game that Sheffield Utd fans have been waiting for - they face the Champions Chelsea at home. Neil Warnock's men have found it difficult since their promotion last year. They have only won once all season at home, beating Middlesbrough 2-1. They also had the misfortune of going out of the Carling Cup midweek, losing 4-2 at home against Championship side Birmingham City. Chelsea of course, are now on a roll, despite the big news of Petr Cech's fractured skull. They have won five out of their last six games and have won their last three away games. They come into this game full of confidence after disposing of Blackburn midweek 2-0 away in the Carling Cup.

Chelsea of course are heavy favourites for this game and rightly so. Chelsea are a short priced 4/11 for the away win while Sheffield Utd are a huge 11/1. Of course we could lump on the away win but I think we've found a bet with a bit more value. Chelsea have been dominant recently away from home - if we include their 2-0 victory over Blackburn in the Cup, in their last four away trips they have scored seven goals and conceded none. 

We must also note that Sheffield do have trouble scoring, and of course they face the best defence in the Premiership. This immediately makes me look at the correct score market, and I fancy Chelsea to maintain their record of keeping clean sheets.  Betfred offer all new customers a free bet on this game and they offer 5/1 for Chelsea to win 2-0. Betfred also offer 7/1 for Chelsea to win 3-0, and these are my bets for todays game. Chelsea are simply too dominant at the back and I cant see Sheffield Utd finding the net.
