Have taken Blackburn at a whopping 8.6
on
Betfair with a draw saver at 4.1. This is a simply bonkers price IMO. Blackburn beat Utd, Chelsea (admittedly home and hosed) and Arsenal at Ewood Park last season. Bellamy is gone admittedly but this is still a very combative solid team that will get stuck in from the off.
Chelsea have looked off the pace and sluggish in the two games I've seen and Cech is a big loss. Cudicini has been at fault for at 2 of the 4 goals they have conceded in competition this season in my view and I don't think the defence has much faith in him.
Even at this early stage this is a big game for Chelsea. I can see this being quite open. A draw would leave Chelsea 5 behind United and I can see Mourinho wanting to force the pace. Could see lots of goals and possibly cards as well.
