Chelsea

Chelsea has not won a game in 3 weeks, recording 3 consecutive draw games and is now in great danger of losing the 4th spot. The team is currently with 43 points in 24 games, away record W5 D5 L2, scoring 17 goals and conceding 10 in those 12 games. The absence of Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou seems noticeable, and Chelsea can’t find the way to get a victory. One point ahead of Newcastle and three ahead of Arsenal will not be enough, if the team continues to disappoint with performance. Villas-Boas cannot find the right rhythm of his club, and who knows if he will continue to lead after this season. As a favorite of the sportsbooks to score first is Daniel Sturridge who’s priced at 6.50 as a first goalscorer and at 2.75 to score anytime. The worst transfer of 2011 Fernando Torres has identical odds, but for a man who has scored only 3 times in Premier League since his transfer last year, that’s very unlikely to happen.
