Chelsea will be hoping they avoid a bad case of the deja blues when they return to Brighton on Premier League duty tonight.
The Blues crashed out of the FA Cup at the Amex Stadium last weekend as they let an early slip in a 2-1 defeat, much to my frustration after I had backed Enzo Maresca's side to win.
That made it just three wins in 10 games for Chelsea, so they desperately need to get back on track tonight as they bid to justify their status as 7/10 shots for a top-four finish.
But the Seagulls will be confident of doing the double and another win would move them up to eighth, just six points behind the Blues.
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Chelsea top betting tips
This is the third meeting of these sides this season and the last two matches have been thrillers, with a 4-2 win for the Blues at Stamford Bridge followed by Brighton's 2-1 win in the FA Cup.
So it bodes well for a good game tonight and combining BTTS with no draw pays 11/10 at BoyleSports, a bet that has landed in the last two meetings. Over 1.5 first-half goals also came up in both those games and a repeat pays 5/4.
Kaoru Mitoma scored Brighton's winner at the weekend and is always a threat with his pace and trickery. Bet365 price him at evens just to have a shot on target and that looks a decent option.
Queens Park Rangers vs Derby County top betting tips
It's a new era at Derby County with John Eustace taking the reins yesterday but he won't have much time to make an impact before tonight's trip to Queens Park Rangers.
Paul Warne was axed after a nightmare seven-game losing streak in the Championship saw the Rams tumble into the relegation places.
Caretaker boss Matt Hamshaw has stemmed the bleeding by guiding Derby to draws against Norwich and Oxford United, with those two points moving them out of the bottom three on goal difference.
The Rams now face a QPR side who are also looking to bounce back after losing three of their last four games to drop off the pace in the play-off hunt.
But the Hoops have been excellent at home, winning six of their last seven, so look good value at 21/20 with BoyleSports for another win tonight.
QPR's last four games have all seen at least 13 corners so over 11.5 flag kicks could be worth a punt as well at 7/5.
Bologna vs Torino top betting tips
Bologna are one of the form teams in Italy and will be confident of seeing off Torino in Serie A tonight after losing just one of their last 16 games in all competitions.
Following up last season's shock fifth-placed finish was always going to be a tall order, especially after losing boss Thiago Motta to Juventus.
Bologna won just once in their first 11 outings this season but new boss Vincenzo Italiano now has them flying and a win tonight would move them above Milan into seventh.
However, it won't be easy against a Torino side who have tasted defeat just once in their last 10 outings. Six of those games ended in draws so the half-time stalemate could be a good shout tonight at 20/21 with BoyleSports.
We only saw four corners when Bologna beat Torino 2-0 away from home earlier in the season so under 8.5 flag kicks could also pay off at evens.

Couple small stake interest bets in games which shouldn’t be far off for goals. Game I fancied for a nap hasn’t been listed today and prices on the above are just slightly out for singles although wouldn’t be surprised to see some of these go over 4.5mgs.
Good luck 🤞
