Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
⚽ Cole Palmer to Score or Assist 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.91
Cole Palmer has scored 12 goals and 6 assists this season, so taking him in this combined market can be very profitable if you pick the right moment. Palace should be a softer defensive side than what Everton and Ipswich have been against Chelsea recently.
Palmer has still scored or assisted in 4 of his last 6 Premier League games so is a major weapon. Considering he’s on penalty duty as well, then taking him in this market makes sense at a nice price.
🩹 Cole Palmer to be Fouled 2+ Times 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.50
Chelsea’s star man is one of the most fouled players in the Premier League, drawing 2.20 fouls per 90 mins. He is an extremely good technical and elusive player who causes opponents all sorts of problems so taking him to just draw his seasonable average fouls here looks like a good addition to your bet builder.
He’s facing Will Hughes and either Daniel Munoz or Maxence Lacroix who all average over 1 foul per 90 mins this term.
🚀 Eberechi Eze to Have 3+ Shots 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.40
Eze averages 3.50 shots per 90 mins which is the 5th highest rate of any player in the Premier League. He fired 6 shots in the previous game and 4 v Bournemouth prior to that.
Eze often racks up cheap shot attempts from set pieces and is not afraid to shoot from long range. He is the biggest overall threat that Palace have in attack and knows the pressure is on him to deliver.
🛑 Will Hughes to Commit 2+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.57
The Crystal Palace midfielder has a very high foul rate of exactly 2 per 90 mins in the Premier League this season. The Eagles rely on him to do the dirty work and against a team of the technical qualities of Chelsea it’s very difficult to see him playing a clean game.
His matchups are difficult, with Cole Palmer being one of the most fouled players in the Premier League (2.20 times per 90).

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
⚽ Eberechi Eze to Score or Assist 🔄
📈 Odds: 2.40
This has not been the stellar season that Eberechi Eze expected but the goal he scored against Southampton in the previous match could reignite his fire.
Eze netted 11 goals and supplied 4 assists last season in just 27 appearances and he has the quality to improve on his numbers of this campaign which currently read 2 goals and 2 assists. His combined xG and xA is over 6 which suggests there is more in the tank. Should Palace score, then it’s likely he is involved in some way.
He’s a goalscoring threat from open play or set pieces and can be the creative force at the heart of the team.
🚀 Ismaila Sarr to Have 2+ Shots 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.44
Palace have improved their form recently and one player who has stepped up is Ismael Sarr. He averages 1.70 shots per 90 mins this season but that figure has been dramatically improving recently.
Sarr has fired 15 shots in his last five Premier League games, including 3 against Southampton last time out and 5 against Arsenal! This is a similar type of fixture to facing The Gunners and Palace will get chances on the counter-attack. Taking Sarr just to have 2 or more shots looks a very generous addition to any bet builder.
🥅 Nicolas Jackson to Score Anytime 🔄
📈 Odds: 2.80
It’s been a strong second season for Senegalese international Nicolas Jackson. He now looks much more settled in West London and contributed with 9 Premier League goals in 18 appearances this term.
Chelsea have gone dry over the Christmas period but this is a good chance to bounce back and he should be in the side from the start. Jackson was bench rested at Ipswich which was a risky decision for the manager to make and ultimately backfired.
He has made the striker spot his own this season and looks a generous price to hit the back of the net at Selhurst Park considering his strong campaign.
🟨 Over 4.5 Cards
📈 Odds: 1.50
The referee Tim Robinson has been dishing out the cards frequently this season at an average of 5.57 per game in the Premier League. He’s given at least five cards in 6 out of 7 games so is not a referee who lets the players get away with much.
That is not good news for Chelsea who have obtained the most cards of any side in the division (57). Crystal Palace for their part should be able to contribute towards an over 4.5 card line considering they rank in the top ten for cards obtained this season (46).
