Clinical Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer is Chelsea’s top goal scorer and main threat this season. The midfielder leads the way with 20 league goals this season and at 2.25 to score anytime whilst also being on penalties is a big price and here at the stats to back it up!
When playing at home, Palmer’s goal statistics are even stronger. At Stamford Bridge, the midfielder has bagged 15 of his 20 league goals. Certainly a player who loves picking up big performances in front of his home fans and if that doesn’t tempt you then check out this next stat.
Palmer’s recent games at home have seen his best form all season with back to back hattricks against Man Utd and Everton! He has scored in six consecutive matches at The Bridge racking up an outstanding 12 goals in that time.
Even from a midfield role, Palmer manages the most shots for Chelsea averaging 3.1 shots per game with those statistics going up to 3.8 shots per game on home soil. His most recent shot stats are as following: 6,5,2,9,9,3,6 showing that Palmer is a massive threat if you needed more convincing.
Spurs’ defensive problems
Onto Palmer’s opponents tonight; Tottenham Hotspur. The North London side have conceded seven goals in their last two Premier League games displaying defensive frailties. From a bigger perspective, all season they have been averaging 1.58 goals conceded per game keeping just six clean sheets all campaign.
In all honesty, I think many punters wouldn’t be surprised if Palmer scored a double tonight let alone a single goal, so for bookies to offer over evens for the Chelsea man to score at anytime is a very attractive price that I’ll be backing.
