Football betting odds: Chelsea hosts Man Utd in key Premier League game

Though Manchester United still holds its lead, the English Premier League table is still a logjam within the top four. Reeling Chelsea gets a fine chance to make up some points when they host the top dogs on Sunday; bet365, Bodog and Unibet online sportsbooks have the lines, odds and proposition Premiership football betting for you!

Normally, hosting a red-hot Man U wouldn’t be seen as advantageous, but Chelsea certainly has the Red Devils’ number. The Blues are the only Premier League side to have more wins against Manchester United than losses: Chelsea leads the all-time series, 12 wins to 10. And United hasn’t won at Stamford Bridge since 2002! For once a side will be happy to meet a league-leading Man U team, for as the BBC recently pointed out, Chelsea’s “current run of six points from a possible 21 is their worst form since an identical return in March 1998.”

Added on to the opportunity for Frank Lampard to post his first start (and his second Premier League appearance) in 2010-11 for Chelsea, and you can understand why Bodog has Chelsea as a 11/10 to win the match outright. In terms of goals scored, Lampard is a lowish 5/2 at bet365 to net one during the 90 minutes, while Didier Drogba naturally tops this table at a short 7/5 odds in the “goalscorer” proposition bet.

Unibet, meanwhile, has an incredible list of nearly 80 “head-to-head” proposition bets on individual players. For example, Drogba outscoring Wayne Rooney in the match can win the prescient punter an 11/5 payoff, while Rooney besting Drogba head-to-head gets a 3/1 payout at Unibet.
