Since then the team recorded 6 consecutive victories, over Liverpool, Arsenal, QPR, Bolton, Sunderland, Aston Villa which makes them a favorite for this match as well.

Chelsea

Chelsea did not start this season, as they were supposed to, and currently the team is taking the 4th position with 32 points in 16 games. Away from home, the team has a record of W4 D2 L2, scoring 13 goals and conceding 7. During the same time last year, the team actually had worse stats, having 30 points after 16 games and an away record of W3 D2 L3, scoring 12 goals and conceding 7 in those games. Manager Villas-Boas is trying to introduce a new play style, which makes Chelsea’s game much more pleasant to watch. Lately the team has improved a lot and striker Didier Drogba has started to score again. There have been some internal problems with Frank Lampard and Villa-Boas but that seems to have been fixed now and Chelsea proved that in the last home match beating the current leader Manchester City, but failed to get a victory against Wigan as a guest.
