9th Nov 2019 | Premier League
A Change of Luka
Chelsea are on fire but a team who conceded 4 at home in midweek can still be got at. If Palace have one of their better away days then the Blues could get caught cold.
Frank Lampard is having a wonderful time in the Chelsea dugout having just won manager of the month. The recovery from 4-1 down to draw with Ajax in the Champions League will be another fillip, yet it hints at ongoing defensive mishaps.
Palace are still the 3rd most successful away team in the top flight through 2019 as a whole and Roy Hodgson often knows how to get a tune heard against the big boys.
I’m not backing a third Eagles victory at Stamford Bridge in 5 attempts, but Luka Milivojevic is capable of putting the cat amongst the pigeons by breaking the deadlock at 14/1 with Bet365. Go each-way and get 1/3rd odds if he finds the net later in the match instead.
The Serbian has reached double-figures for Premier League goals in both of his full seasons in south London, with the majority coming from the penalty spot. But Palace’s captain adds a few from set-pieces and open play as well. He’s a lively outsider in this market.
Odds correct at time of publishing: 07:26 9th Nov, 2019 but subject to change
