Chelsea can get first clean sheet – and can Costa make it three out of three?

Diego Costa is one of 38 players who have scored at least 10 Premier League goals for Chelsea – and he now has the best minutes-per-goal ratio of them all.

On average, Costa has found the net for Chelsea every 137 minutes. It’s an impressive statistic.

So far this season he has scored the winner in both their Premier League games – and he is 3/1 at BetVictor to score the opening goal against Burnley at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

We also make him 5/6 to make it three out of three in the top flight this season and score again in Saturday’s game.

The lack of a clean sheet so far this season (including the 3-2 EFL Cup win against Bristol Rovers in midweek) will be a slight concern to boss Antonio Conte.

But we think they can buck that trend against the Clarets, who defended tremendously well against Liverpool at Turf Moor last weekend after scoring a couple of early goals.

Chelsea to win to nil is a shade of odds-on at 9/10 and that is the recommendation, with Conte’s side 2/7 to make it three league wins out of three ahead of the first international break.

The draw is 5/1, while a Burnley victory is 12/1.

Chelsea are down to 5/1 (from 6s) for the title, with the Manchester clubs at the top of the market after their own 100% starts to the season. City are 13/8 and United 11/4.

Incidentally, Chelsea were eased from 7/1 to 8/1 for the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening at BetVictor following the news that they will travel to champions Leicester City in the next round.
