Christopher Nkunku can get his shots in for Chelsea against Palace

Paul Higham is backing a [4/1] shots double as Chelsea host Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday...


We're off to Stamford Bridge for Wednesday's best bet where Chelsea are 4/71.57 favourites to make it three home league wins on the spin when they welcome Crystal Palace.

Mauricio Pochettino's side aren't in the best form having lost four of their last six games, but those defeats all came away from home and while Stamford Bridge isn't exactly a fortress, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool all failed to win there.

Palace have mostly been a tough watch for their fans with no wins in the last seven, but their last road trip was a 2-2 draw at Man City - so could Roy Hodgson mastermind another big away result?

Leg 1: Nkunku 2+ shots on target

Christopher Nkunku has made just two substitute appearances this season, but scored against Wolves on Christmas Eve and with Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer suspended he could get his first start of the campaign here.

Nkunku has had three shots on target across those two games as a sub, so with a start the 6/42.50 on him having 2+ shots on target could look a tad big.

It's certainly good enough to include in our Bet Builder double for the game as if the French pleayer is anywhere near his best he'll give Palace plenty of trouble.

Leg 2: Olise 2+ shots

On the Palace side, Michael Olise has recently come back from injury and look one of their most productive players over the seven games he's played since the start of November.

He's scored twice but Palace have been finding goals hard to come by in general so the bet for him is Olise to have 2+ shots at 5/61.84.

Olise has hit the target in three games, but had multiple shots in five of seven and against Chelsea he may be reduced to taking pot shots from distance.

The price is still good enough though to settle on for a Bet Builder double.
