Match Of The Season Invigorates Mourinho
The Chelsea boss was made for occasions like this and we shouldn't discount another twist in this title race.
The biggest game of the Premier League season has arrived and Ladbrokes are running a promotion fit for the occasion. They’re offering your money back if you pick the wrong match winner but it ends as a draw. With the firm offering Chelsea at 4/1, only a fraction worse than the best price on the market (17/4 Betfred), we get an outstanding insurance option.
Obviously Liverpool are worthy favourites after 11 consecutive victories, but Manchester City were on a similar run of home form when Chelsea rocked up at the Etihad in February. The Londoners deservedly ran out 1-0 winners that night and we should never underestimate a Jose Mourinho side.
The Champions League semi-finalists are at their best against the best. As well as beating Man City home and away, they overcame the Reds 2-1 at Stamford Bridge back in December. Further to that, they were also unbeaten against Arsenal, Man Utd and Spurs this season.
In total, Chelsea’s league record against the rest of the top seven in 2013-14 reads W7 D3 L1. The only defeat came at Goodison Park and that was way back in September. Make no mistake, Mourinho has not given up on this title fight just yet.
