Levi Colwill has been an important player for Enzo Maresca this season, particularly since the injury to Wesley Fofana which has massively impacted the way that Chelsea play. He’s instructed to be very patient when on the ball in an attempt to draw in the press from the opposition.

This role has informed his fouls won record this season, Colwill has been hauled down 16 times across his 22 Premier League appearances this campaign (0.73 per 90), these numbers might not jump off the page but are supported by the fact that he’s in the 90th percentile for centre backs when it comes to winning fouls.

There is value when backing this selection with PaddyPower, the same market is priced at 1.62 on other bookmakers making the 1.83 offered here quite generous when considering his numbers in this department this season. Colwill will be up against Georgino Rutter as well as Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro who alternate in the striker position, Rutter is the most likely of this trio to foul Colwill with the 22 year old averaging 1.91 fouls committed per 90 across his 23 Premier League appearances this season – he also committed 2 fouls in the league meeting between these sides.

This selection has landed in 4 of Colwill’s last 5 Premier League games with the exception coming against Manchester City who don’t commit many fouls (7.3 per game – lowest in the Premier League). Brighton are averaging 11.9 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League, only 4 sides are fouling more frequently than Fabian Hurzeler’s side. Colwill was fouled once in the league meeting between these sides earlier in the season.
