Chelsea form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Chelsea at their home stadium (Stamford Bridge) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

The Chelsea supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Liverpool in FA Cup and win 2-0. Preceding that game was the away draw at AFC Bournemouth that finished 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chelsea have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost two.

The Chelsea fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. On the other hand, Chelsea have conceded 15 goals.
