Chelsea v Arsenal Tip

This evergreen England international is averaging a goal every other game in the Premier League.

Ladbrokes are offering a money-back deal on a couple of the primary betting markets if Arsenal win at Stamford Bridge as they did last season. With Rafa Benitez feeling the heat from his ‘own fans,’ that must a possibility that gives us some insurance.

However, there are two Chelsea players who look solid bets in the first goalscorer market. Demba Ba (9/2 StanJames) has started with a bang in his new surroundings after three goals in his first three starts and he deserves to be favourite.

That said, at best odds of 7/1 (Ladbrokes) the man I would opt to side with is Frank Lampard. The England attacking midfielder has now claimed seven goals in his last nine top flight starts and that just can’t be ignored. A firm favourite with the fans, he is now on the verge of hitting double figures for league goals for a remarkable 10th season in a row.

If Arsenal win the game, Ladbrokes will refund all losing Correct Scores, Scorecasts and First Goalscorer bets, up to £25 as a free bet.
