Chelsea Wigan Odds : Martinez betting for another shock at Stamford Bridge in relegation battle
Two sides with very different ambitions for the season meet at Stamford Bridge this weekend when Chelsea take on Wigan, as Roberto Martinez looks to shock another Premiership big boy at odds of 12/1 in their quest for Premiership survival.
Chelsea reached yet another Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night, so they should go into the game in great spirits.
The Blues have lost just once since Roberto Di Matteo took over following the sacking of Andre Villas Boas last month. The likes of Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres seem to be much more content with life at the club since the Italian became caretaker boss.

Di Matteo’s men face a busy schedule up to the end of the season, finding themselves in an FA Cup semi-final as well as the Champions League. They are also still fighting hard to catch Arsenal and Tottenham in third and fourth place.
The 42-year-old has stated that his side will relish the games coming thick and fast, suggesting momentum could be key to bringing trophies to the club.
As for Wigan, you have to admire their attitude. They are written off every season and just as it looks like they are set for the drop, a run of form comes from nowhere.

Roberto Martinez’s side go into the game at Stamford Bridge on the back of two wins in a row. The Latics are starting to show some stability and consistency, losing just one of the last eight games, conceding only seven goals.
Wigan face Manchester United and Arsenal after the game on Saturday so it could be more the case of keeping their goal difference respectable. That said, Wigan have a habit of upsetting the odds and you would not rule out them picking up a result from somewhere.
Chelsea have the better record in this fixture though. The Londoners are undefeated at home to Wigan and managed an 8-0 thumping of The Latics two seasons ago.
With both sides desperate to take all three points, it could be a very entertaining game. Kick-off is at 3pm on Saturday.
