Already, Stamford Bridge feels a little lighter.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFulham and Brighton have both been beaten, seven Chelsea goals have gone in and Xabi Alonso has six points from six. That does not wipe away last season's tenth-place finish. It does give the new manager something solid to build upon while everybody is still learning his Chelsea.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe market has reacted. At the time of writing, a Chelsea title is priced at 5/1. Defending champions Arsenal and Manchester City are the only shorter selections; Liverpool and Manchester United come next.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the season-long winner call: what Chelsea have, what could go wrong and where the price may travel.

Their 5/1 quote, at the time of writing, follows Arsenal at 5/6 and Manchester City at 10/3. Behind them are Liverpool at 8/1, then Manchester United at 14/1.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a contender's price, although hardly a declaration that Alonso has solved everything. Two August wins cannot tell us whether last season's tenth-placed team is ready for nine months near the summit.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe picture can change quickly. Beat Arsenal next and Chelsea's price could shorten again. A defeat would not end their challenge in September, but the market would reassess the gap between Alonso's new side and the reigning champions.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the next 90 minutes matter more than May, head to \u003ca href=\"https://www.betvictor.com/en-gb/sports/240/meetings/6323610/all\"\u003ePremier League betting\u003c/a\u003e for the current fixture markets.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eWhy Have Chelsea's Premier League Odds Shortened?\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp\u003ePromises filled the summer. The opening fortnight has finally supplied evidence. The results came quickly.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst came a 3-2 recovery at Fulham. Six days later, Brighton left the Bridge after a 4-3 thriller. That afternoon looked finished when goals from Romeo Lavia, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro put Chelsea three up inside 32 minutes. It wasn't. Cole Palmer had to win it late.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven goals in two matches show the attacking possibilities. Palmer remains capable of deciding a game, Joao Pedro has started sharply and Morgan Rogers adds another direct runner behind the forward line.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is another reason for the market's interest. Chelsea have no European football this season. While Arsenal, City and Liverpool manage midweek trips and knockout ties, Alonso should have more uninterrupted time to coach and prepare.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn uncluttered diary is useful.

Last May, 52 points left Chelsea tenth and outside Europe. First place was nowhere close. A lively fortnight is a welcome beginning, not a bridge across that entire distance.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe talent is obvious, though. Palmer gives Chelsea imagination and end product between the lines. Joao Pedro scored 14 league goals last season and has begun this one confidently. Moises Caicedo can control difficult midfield battles when fit, while Rogers brings carrying power and another route through a defence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfection is unnecessary. Better control is not. Brighton turning 0-3 into 3-3 made brilliant entertainment and a fairly dreadful blueprint for a title chase.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eChelsea's Summer Business\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp\u003eMorgan Rogers was the headline attacking arrival. At Aston Villa, the England international had become one of the division's most forceful runners with the ball. Alonso can use him through the middle, off the left or breaking past a centre-forward.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaxence Lacroix followed from Crystal Palace. His pace should suit Alonso's willingness to defend with space behind the back line, while his Premier League experience reduces the usual settling-in period.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarco Palestra, Geovany Quenda and Emiliano Martinez also arrived. Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson bring experience to a young squad.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere were important departures too. Marc Cucurella joined Real Madrid, Trevoh Chalobah moved to Como and Nicolas Jackson left for Aston Villa. Liam Delap and Andrey Santos were among the other exits.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is significant turnover, even by Chelsea's recent standards.

They finished seven points clear of Manchester City last season and enter this campaign with the settled structure of champions.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChelsea's next match gives them an early look at that standard. A win at the Emirates would remove points from the favourites while making the Blues' opening run impossible to dismiss.

Brighton's visit produced seven more goals and, eventually, the same outcome for Alonso.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix points is the outcome Alonso wanted. The way those points arrived leaves plenty to work on.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArsenal away is next on Saturday 5 September.

Five goals have already found a way past Chelsea. The perfect record survived, although expecting the forwards to answer with three or four every week is no route to May.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrighton's comeback was particularly instructive. Chelsea played excellent football to establish a 3-0 lead, then lost control and needed Palmer to rescue the result. Alonso will want his team to recognise when a match requires patience rather than another risky pass.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInjuries matter too. Caicedo came off shortly after entering against Brighton, although Alonso suggested the change was precautionary. James has dealt with recurring fitness problems, and Palmer's influence means any extended absence would alter the entire attack.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, there is the scale of the task. Chelsea are attempting to move from tenth to first against rivals already accustomed to collecting 80 or more points. The opening has raised the ceiling.

Alonso's Chelsea already look dangerous when the game opens. Rogers can travel with the ball, Palmer finds pockets and Joao Pedro links attacks before entering the box. The next step is controlling what happens after possession is lost.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat requires more than the defenders. The press must arrive together, midfield spaces need protecting and the wing-backs cannot both leave the back line exposed at once.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChelsea will also face teams with no interest in trading attacks. Breaking a compact defence demands patience and variety. Palmer cannot be responsible for every clever pass. Goals from Neto, Rogers and midfield would make the side far harder to contain.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet pieces offer another route on stubborn days. So does the bench. Welbeck provides a more experienced forward option, while Quenda and Estevao can introduce one-against-one threat against tired defenders.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen comes game management. A title winner does not need to turn every lead into a show. Sometimes the best response to going 2-0 up is making the next ten minutes uneventful.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlonso now needs to prove Chelsea can remove excitement when necessary.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eHow Chelsea's Title Price Can Move\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe table will drive the market, but context matters. Five wins together say far more than one dramatic afternoon.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHead-to-head games can create the sharpest movement because one contender gains points while another loses them. That makes the trip to Arsenal especially important, even this early.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChelsea's empty European calendar could matter more as the season develops. In August, everybody looks fresh. By March, a full week between matches can be far more useful than it sounds.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiming changes how a result is read.
