Chelsea v Bolton Wanderers, 7.45pm

It’s no surprise to see Chelsea as hot favourites to win this match, although they have failed to pick up the three points at Stamford Bridge in their last two home games. Sunderland came away with an amazing 3-0 win before Everton scored a late equaliser and the Blues really need to start picking up victories at home if they are to challenge for the Premier League title this term.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team are a best price 2/7 (William Hill) to collect the points and the Italian will be confident that the return to fitness of many senior players should ensure that the English champions turn a corner. Frank Lampard made his long-awaited comeback at the Emirates on Tuesday and he’s 11/2 with Ladbrokes to open the scoring, while Didier Drogba is 7/2 with the same firm to break the deadlock.

It’s easy to forget that Nicolas Anelka was a Bolton Wanderers player not so long ago and the Frenchman is 9/2 with bet365 to score first against his former club, although Owen Coyle’s team are a different proposition this season and they don’t tend to lose many matches. The Trotters were 2-0 victors over West Brom on Boxing Day without playing well – something that’s the mark of a good team.

The visitors are 12/1 (Skybet) to win their third away game of the season, something which keep them on course for a place in next season’s Europa League, a stark contrast to last season when they were scrapping against relegation. Johan Elmander returned to scoring ways against the Baggies and he’s a 12/1 chance (Stan James) to break the deadlock.
