EPL – Big guns square off with Chelsea hosting Manchester United

Chelsea are the hot favourites to win the clash of the titans at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and unless Manchester United can find a bit of cohesion and aggression in the midfield, the odds are Chelsea will claim even more points to add to their tally of ten for the English Premier League.

The long-awaited return of the Portuguese winger, Christiano Ronaldo during the Red Devils’ battle against Villarreal on Wednesday evening was not the spark needed to ignite the battling boys in red. It was the first time in the history of the Champions League that a visiting team avoided defeat at Old Trafford.

Chelsea, on the other hand, is playing dominant football with worthy contributions from Deco, Ballack and Lampard and with Joe Cole and Nicolas Anelka looking in great touch, the Blues are likely to hand United a bit of a drubbing!

Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power, is offering a money back special on the outcome of the match. Dubbed ‘Suspension Bridge’, Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles on the match if any on-field player is shown a red card!

There are dozens of betting options to consider at Paddy Power and current odds on the outcome of the match are – Chelsea 5-4; Draw 21-10 and Manchester United 11-5.
