Wigan Athletic look for their first win of the season against a Chelsea side brimming with confidence.
A Phil Scolari inspired Chelsea demolished Portsmouth 4-0 with a display that looked ominous for their rivals.
Wigan are a distant [9.2], with the draw [5] and Chelsea [1.43]. Steve Bruce's troops have yet to win a home fixture against Chelsea and the odds seem against them again, with the Blues unbeaten in 11 games on the road.
Chelsea have lead half time/full time in their last two visits to the JCB and can be backed at [2.08] to repeat this trick.
This fixture has averaged 2.6 goals per game and over 2.5 goals is available at [2.06] to back.
Plucky Wigan will be desperate to upset the odds and win their first points of the season, but could not face tougher opposition than the multi-millionaires from West London.
