Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson favours Chelsea at home but expects goals against a Brighton side in fine form.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Cole Palmer Anytime Assist | 17/4 with Ladbrokes | Cole Palmer looks fresh and raring to go this season and managed a goal and an assist in the 3-2 win over Fulham on Monday. After being left out of the World Cup squad, he has a point to prove and I think he looks too big a price in the anytime assist market at 17/4 with Ladbrokes. Palmer created three chances against The Cottagers and in what could be a high-scoring contest against Brighton, an assist looks good value here. |
| Over 2.5 goals & BTTS | 4/5 with bet365 | Chelsea and Brighton both made strong starts in front of goal, showing plenty of attacking intent on the opening weekend. Neither side should be short of chances again, particularly with both possessing plenty of quality in the final third. Their willingness to attack should make for an open contest, with both teams capable of finding the net. Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at 4/5 looks a strong play. |

How Chelsea go into the game
Chelsea opened with a 3-2 win at Fulham, showing plenty of attacking intent if some defensive vulnerability. Stamford Bridge should see another positive, front-foot display.
Xabi Alonso’s side carry a serious goal threat and will back themselves at home. Tightening up at the back is the priority, but the firepower is not in doubt.
How Brighton & Hove Albion go into the game
Brighton could hardly have started better, thrashing Aston Villa 4-0 on the opening day. That emphatic win underlined their attacking quality and confidence.
The Seagulls play brave, expansive football and will not sit back at Stamford Bridge. That approach makes for open games, and they will fancy their chances of a return.
