Chelsea eye win against Cardiff City at home in 2018/19 Premier League
Kick-off : 3:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea have had an excellent start to their new Premier League season winning all the games played thus far. The Blues will be looking to continue the winning run when they take on Cardiff City on Saturday.
Chelsea know that the three points are their for the taking but they shouldn’t be complacent and still need to perform at their best. The Blues are only behind Liverpool in the points table on goal difference with 12 points from 4 games.
Chelsea next play PAOK in the UEFA Europa League.
On the other hand, Cardiff City have had a poor start to their 2018/19 Premier League season with them without a win as of now. They will be eager for a win.
Cardiff City though have no easy task ahead as they take on giants Chelsea and will need to give their all and hope for the best.
