The Blues went marching on on Boxing Day as they eased to a 3-0 home win over Bournemouth to land their twelfth win on the bounce in the Premier League. That has set a new club record for themselves and now they are just the two matches behind Arsenal’s famous 2002 winning streak when the Gunners won 14 games on the bounce.

William Hill have rated Chelsea just 7/2 to go and break the record by winning each of their next three games. Chelsea go up against Stoke on New Year’s Eve at Stamford Bridge and then on January 4th, they would have to go up against arch rivals Tottenham at White Hart Lane to try and equal the Arsenal record. William Hill are 2/1 that Chelsea end up matching Arsenal’s record breaking run of 14 consecutive league wins.

If Chelsea to beat Stoke and Spurs then they would have their shot at the record against Leicester on January 14th. Goals from Pedro and Eden Hazard saw Chelsea take out Bournemouth on Boxing Day, a game which saw them missing Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante through suspension. Chelsea are now 8/13 at William Hill to win the Premier League title this season, ending the day with a seven point lead still over Manchester City.

Saturday wasn’t a great day for bookmakers as the seven most popular teams from the 3pm kick-offs all won their games. Among the day’s favourites alongside Chelsea, there were wins for Manchester City over Hull, Arsenal over West Brom and Manchester United over Sunderland. At the other end of the table, Burnley gave themselves a boost with a win over Middlesbrough, the Clarets being the only ones in the bottom six to claim a Boxing Day victory. Sam Allardyce’s Crystal Palace were held to a 1-1 draw at Watford.
