Blues 11-8 to win title by double-figure margin

CHELSEA will move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League if they beat Sunderland on Saturday and bet365 make the Blues just 11-8 to win the title by at least ten points.

It has been a stroll so far for Jose Mourinho’s unbeaten side, who started out as 125-1 to match Arsenal’s Invincibles but are now quoted at just 15-2 – a price which reflects bet365’s hefty liabilities.

However, Sunderland boss Gus Poyet does not believe bookmakers should be getting too concerned just yet.

“I don’t think they are going to be too bothered about it,” said the former Chelsea midfielder.

“There are plenty of games to go and I don’t believe that is the aim for Chelsea right now.”

Poyet may be on to something but with Chelsea through to the Champions League last 16 and the League Cup quarter-finals, the idea of Mourinho completing a clean sweep is gathering pace.

Chelsea are 66-1 with Paddy Power to win all four trophies and Coral offer 12-1 about the Blues landing the domestic treble.

Coral’s Jackpot bet has rolled over for 16 weeks and the firm are expecting this weekend’s pool bet to be worth £1.5m. Punters have to correctly predict the outcome of 15 selected matches.
