Kayode has committed three fouls across his three Premier League appearances this season and is generously priced with Bet365 to catch the eye of the referee again in this West London Derby. 

Kayode has committed at least one foul in each of his three Premier League matches so far with his performance against Aston Villa at home being particularly notable for our selection. Kayode contested 11 duels on that occasion, also making more tackles than any other player on the pitch (3). He’s a young and energetic fullback who has real quality, but can be quite rash with his challenges as his foul record so far this season would confirm. 

Brentford have also seen the starkest increase of any side in the Premier League when it comes to their foul numbers. The Bees were pretty passive in this regard last season, averaging just 8.70 fouls committed per game but this has risen in the early stages of this campaign to 12.7 fouls committed per game.

I would expect this record to stay in the double digit range this season with the changes that Brentford have undergone over the summer transfer window naturally making them a weaker side. 

Kayode committed eight fouls across his six Premier League starts last season (1.36 per 90) and will face up against Pedro Neto here. Neto has been one of Chelsea’s brighter players in the last few months and is a tireless worker, he averaged 1.31 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League last season. 

There is real value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same selection is as low as 1.11 with other comparable bookmakers.
