Blues should see off Arsenal but West Ham may be too strong for QPR
There’s a big weekend of Premier League football to look forward to ahead of the international break, with Chelsea fancied to maintain their 100% home record against Arsenal on Sunday.
Chelsea are 4/6 against the Gunners with BetVictor and Jose Mourinho has never lost against Arsene Wenger in 11 previous games when the pair have squared up.
It is also well documented that Arsenal have not won any of their last 14 league games against Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United.
And it is hard to make case for them against the title favourites despite their win against Galatasary earlier in the week. They are 19/4 to win at Stamford Bridge.
Incidentally, Diego Costa is 7/2 to score the opening goal and 5/1 to be named Sky’s man of the match.
The Blues are into 6/1 to win the Champions League after their narrow but emphatic win in Lisbon on Tuesday evening and they are 4/6 to be the English side to progress furthest with Arsenal 4s, Man City 5s and Liverpool 6s.
Rangers travel to West Ham for another televised London derby on Sunday and are 17/5 to pick up all three points with the Hammers 37/40 and the draw 13/5.
The R’s need to improve on the road if they are to maintain their top-flight status at the end of the season, but this might not be the best time to go to Upton Park, with a new wave of optimism sweeping the east London club.
Charlie Austin scored a cracker at Southampton last weekend but is 8/1 to score the opener and 5/2 at BetVictor to score at any time during the 90 minutes.
I expect to see goals on Sunday and the 5/6 for both sides to find the back of the net is the recommendation.

Be lucky.
