Barclays Premiership: Chelsea v Newcastle
Look To Chelsea To Close The Gap
Chelsea v Newcastle 13 Dec 19:459-10 available with VCBet on the Asian Handicap
for Chelsea -1.5
Bet Advised: Monday 11th December 2006
Having being held to a 1:1 draw by Arsenal on Sunday, Chelsea are now eight points adrift of Manchester United at the top of the Premiership, so anything less than maximum points against Newcastle United on Wednesday would leave the defence of their title looking seriously weakened.
Newcastle are actually pulling off some fine results of late, with their much-maligned defence actually holding up surprisingly well.
However, Chelsea showed in the final 10-minutes against The Gunners that when they are in the mood that they are capable of putting better teams than Newcastle under the cosh and Shay Given could be in for a very busy evening.
Jose Mourinho's men are likely to be smarting after those dropped points on Sunday, so the 9-10 available with VCBet on the Asian Handicap for Chelsea -1.5 looks a fair bet, paying out if Chelsea win by a margin of two goals or more.
