Owls Could Expose Sarri's Blind Spot
The feel-good factor from reaching a cup final and signing Higuain could be short-lived if Sarri continues to play key men out of position. The former Juve and Napoli star has struggled this season at Milan.
Chelsea may have won 16 major trophies already this century but I’m still happy to oppose them at these prices in the handicap market. Back Sheffield Wednesday +2 goals at best odds of 7/5 with Ladbrokes and claim a tidy profit if the underdogs win, draw or even lose by one goal.
The Blues have been largely mediocre for weeks, even if they’ve only had their pants pulled down once - at Arsenal last weekend. But they’ve also flattered to deceive at home to Southampton and Newcastle this month, and they could be weary after scraping past Spurs in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night.
Meanwhile the Owls are warming up nicely for the arrival of Steve Bruce with just one defeat in their last eight games in all competitions. They’ve enjoyed back-to-back clean sheets and this may not be a stroll for the Blues and their new signing Higuain.
