BEST BETS:
MOISES CAICEDO - TO BE FOULED 2+ TIMES - 10/11 (BETFAIR) - 1PT
Fresh from knocking Chelsea out of the FA Cup on Saturday evening, Brighton host the Blues just six days later in the Premier League. It was the perfect way to bounce back from a 7-0 thumping at the hands of Nottingham Forest, when they were last in Premier League action. The season appears to be slowly unravelling for Chelsea, going from second place into a fight for the top four in a matter of matches. Enzo Maresca claimed that the Premier League and Conference League are their priority following their FA Cup exit, but they'll need to recapture the form that catapulted them into a title challenge earlier in the season.
It feels like a touch of Déjà vu when looking into this fixture, with both sides having fielded relatively strong sides on Saturday. My eyes have been drawn to ex-Brighton man Moises Caicedo, who is no stranger to fouls, whether that be committing or winning them. The Ecuadorian has been fouled at least twice in nine of his last eleven appearances - including the meeting on Saturday. Likely to be up against his replacement at the Seagulls, Carlos Baleba, I can see this run of fouls continuing.
