Chelsea Set For Another Narrow Win
Chelsea's relentless pursuit of Manchester United at the top of the Premiership has kept the title race alive when many thought it would have already been decided by now.
Wheras the Red Devils have made light work of most of the opposition, Jose Mourinho's men are a more pragmatic outfit, preferring to do no more than is required of them to win matches in order that they conserve energy for future battles ahead.
That could again be the case on Sunday when they pay a visit to a Newcastle United side that is likely to face a major overhaul in the summer and which looks ill-equipped to challenge the defending champions, even allow for the number of games Chelsea have been playing of late.
With a massive Champions League semi-final 1st leg against Liverpool in the week, Chelsea are again likely to want to do no more than is absolutely necessary against the Geordies, with the likelihood being that they will just look to sit back on any lead that they can take. With Newcastle looking fairly lightweight in attack, that should be well within the Londoners capabilities.
The bet therefore looks to be the Handicap tie, available at 5-2 with Bet365, which would pay-out for any Chelsea win by a one-goal margin.
