Chelsea v Brighton
Sky Sports Main Event & Premier League, 8pm Tuesday

N'Golo Kante is unlikely to be rested despite playing 90 minutes against Porto and Manchester City so his tackling may not be as well timed as usual. The Frenchman, booked five times in a seven-game spell earlier in 2021, has the job of breaking up Brighton's possession and is 3-1 to be carded.

Best bet
N'Golo Kante to be shown a card

Stat of the day

Norwich v Watford Sky Sports Football, 6pm Tuesday

Watford have scored only 18 of their 59 goals away from home in the Championship this season.
