Chelsea 6/4 to win the title with much easier run-in to the season

Competition: Premier League
Market: Chelsea to win the title
Odds: 6/4 @ 888 Sport

While bookmakers still fancy free-scoring Manchester City to win the Premier League – as they have games in hand that will take them above the Blues should they get maximum points – Chelsea cannot be discarded. Jose Mourinho’s men have by far the easier end to the campaign in regard to the teams they have to face again.

Chelsea’s fixtures

29/03/14 – Crystal Palace (away)
05/04/14 – Stoke City (home)
13/04/14 – Swansea City (away)
20/04/14 – Sunderland (home)
27/04/14 – Liverpool (away)
03/05/14 – Norwich City (home)
11/05/14 – Cardiff City (away)

It’s worth noting, Mourinho’s men haven’t dropped a point to the above sides in their earlier meetings this season.

Man City fixtures

25/03/14 – Manchester United (away)
29/03/14 – Arsenal (away)
05/04/14 – Southampton (home)
13/04/14 – Liverpool (away)
16/04/14 – Sunderland (home)
21/04/14 – West Bromwich Albion (home)
27/04/14 – Crystal Palace (away)
03/05/14 – Everton (away)
07/05/14 – Aston Villa (home)
11/05/14 – West Ham United (home)

The deciding games for Manuel Pellegrini’s men will undoubtedly be the next four in the league. If they get an unlikely maximum points in the four games, the title could well be theirs. But with a potential banana skin clash against Eveton to come in May, there could still be added importance if no side pulls away between then and now.
