The in-form Cole Palmer makes Macca’s 9/1 bet builder for Tottenham vs Chelsea.
16:30 Sunday
Here’s more on each leg of the bet builder for Macca, who stops short of backing Chelsea outright but suggests he thinks that will be the outcome by including both Palmer and Jackson to register a goal involvement. You can back the Blues to continue their winning run at a huge 50/1 on Parimatch by clicking here or on the offer below.
Cole Palmer Over 0.5 Assists
Cole Palmer has been a pivotal figure in Chelsea’s attacking setup this season. With nine goals and six assists in the Premier League, the former Manchester City talent has seamlessly adapted to his central role under Enzo Maresca.
Facing a depleted Spurs backline, Palmer's ability to pick out runs from forwards like Nicolas Jackson could prove decisive. Tottenham’s high defensive line leaves space for runners in behind, and Palmer's passing range and awareness are tailor made to exploit such opportunities.
Given his influence in big games (He scored and then went on to assist Jackson in this fixture last season) backing Palmer to register an assist on Sunday offers great value considering he’s 2.1 to score anytime but a massive 3.75 to assist.
Nicolas Jackson to Score Anytime
Nicolas Jackson heads into this game in some new found form, having found the net in his last two starts.
Averaging 2.71 shots per 90 minutes, Jackson is Chelsea’s primary goal threat and will be full of confidence after scoring a hat-trick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season. With Christopher Nkunku playing midweek, Jackson is likely to reclaim his spot as the focal point of Chelsea’s attack.
As we’ve backed Palmer for an assist in this bet builder, a Jackson goal is a correlated angle which gives us an edge.
Moises Caicedo Over 1.5 Fouls
Moises Caicedo has become Chelsea’s midfield enforcer and his physical approach makes him a prime candidate for fouls in this game. The Ecuadorian averages the most fouls per game for Chelsea and has committed 2+ fouls in seven of his last eight Premier League outings.
Tottenham, on the other hand, are the league's most fouled team, drawing an average of 14.5 fouls per match, well above the league average of 11.37. Add a heated London derby to the equation and it’s the perfect matchup.
