Our football props column focus on the Leeds v Chelsea rivalry on Sunday with a 4/1 Bet Builder provided for the Premier League showdown...

Old rivalry is renewed on Sunday in the Premier League - this one goes back a long way.

Elland Road should be buzzing come kick-off and the home fans will be urging their team on big time in this one.

And with Leeds finishing bottom of last season's fair-play table by some distance, I'm more than happy to put them down for over 1.5 cards.

That's occurred in all four meetings with Chelsea since the Yorkshire club returned to the top flight in 2020.

It's then into the shots markets to complete a Bet Builder.

Rodrigo has made a flying start to the season for the hosts with three goals in two games and he'll come into this one brimming with confidence.

He managed three shots here on the opening day against Wolves, while last week he hit no fewer than five during the 2-2 draw with Southampton.

Yes, the level of opposition is rising here but Leeds will look to get on the front foot with their pressing game still evident under Jesse Marsch.

Two or more shots for a red-hot Rodrigo here looks a fair bet at 8/11.

Completing a treble is 2+ shots for Reece James.

His inclusion in the England side at the expense of Trent Alexander-Arnold has proved controversial in the past but he continues to prove why he's a such big part of Gareth Southgate's plans.

His attacking prowess down the Chelsea right has been evident again in the opening two games, both of which have seen him land the 2+ shots bet. He's now done that in six of his last eight Premier League matches.

Leeds give up plenty of shots - only relegated Norwich and Burnley conceded more last season, while their 14.5 average so far this season is only slightly below their 2021/22 figure.

The three legs combined pays just over 4/1.
