Chelsea are 6/1 to win their first 3 Premier League games this season
A new Premier League season brings a new wave of optimism and Chelsea will be looking to kick off 2022/23 in style.
The Blues face Everton, Tottenham and Leeds in their first 3 games of the season and are 6/1 to win all three.
Everton and Leeds are both away from home, with the Tottenham game at Stamford Bridge, and Thomas Tuchel's men will want to start the season well.
Chelsea won the same fixtures against Tottenham and Leeds last year, but lost 1-0 away at Goodison Park to Frank Lampard's Everton.
Bookmakers make it 28/1 that they then go and beat Leicester and Southampton to win their first 5 games of the campaign.
The Blues are 11/8 to get over 72 points this season, with the team finishing on 74 last year
Chelsea had a strong season in the league last year, finishing third behind Champions Manchester City and Liverpool.
The Blues finished on 74 points and Tuchel's team are 11/8 to achieve that again next season with over 72 points the spread.
Alternatively a bad year could be on the cards and bookies make it just 9/4 that they get under 67 points this season.
| Chelsea Points Total 2022/23 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Over 69 Points | 3/4 | 57.1% |
| Over 72 Points | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Under 67 Points | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Over 75 Points | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Getting Over 75 points would be a good year for Chelsea and there's a 28.6% chance that they achieve that according to the betting odds from Betway.
Raheem Sterling expected to sign for the club in the next 10 days
Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling is expected to join Chelsea in the next few days, with a fee close to agreement between the two clubs.
Sterling has one year left on his rumoured 300k a week contract at City, so Pep Guardiola looks to be cashing in on the player for a rumoured £50m.
Bookmakers are still offering 8/1 that he stays at City this season, with the 1/20 odds that he joins Chelsea showing that it's more than likely going to happen.
Sterling was 5/4 to join Chelsea this Summer less than a month ago, with the transfer market moving at a fast pace this year.
