Tonali was fouled three times in just 59 minutes of action against Sunderland last weekend with the Italian contesting seven duels in that clash. He’ll be in for another physical assignment here against a combative Chelsea midfield likely to be Caicedo, James and Fernandez. 

Tonali has won 17 fouls across his 16 Premier League appearances this season (1.43 per 90) and has been hauled down in three of his last five Premier League matches. Tonali was fouled twice in this fixture last season, facing up against Fernandez and Lavia on that occasion who committed three fouls between them.

Tonali was also fouled in the EFL Cup meeting between the sides at St James’ Park last term, with the Blues forced into making 27 fouls across their last two visits to what is one of the hardest away grounds in the Premier League.

Tonali should get caught in the physicality of the contest again here with Enzo Fernandez (1.01 fouls committed per 90) and Moises Caicedo (1.37 fouls committed per 90) likely to be the two players that he brushes shoulders with the most in this encounter.

There is serious value with this selection when backing with PaddyPower, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.16 with other major bookmakers. Tonali to win 2+ fouls priced at 2.7 also represents value, with that line being as low as 1.8 elsewhere.
