CHELSEA looked back to their old selves on Boxing Day when Romelu Lukaku returned to spearhead thier attack.
The Belgian striker scored within 11 minutes of coming on as a substitute at Villa Park and his return will be most welcome by Thomas Tuchel who has had to make do with an understrengthed squad lately.
The Blues are hanging on to the coattails of Manchester City who look formidable at the halfway stage of the season but they have the chance to leapfrog Liverpool tonight after their 1-0 defeat at Leicester, so each game feels like a must-win for Chelsea at the moment.
Opponents Brighton got a much-needed win on Boxing Day too but they've not beaten Chelsea since 1933 and are 7/1 shots to buck that trend tonight. That'll mostly depend on which Chelsea turn up.
The Blues look a solid bet at 2/5 but are too short to back on a single. They've conceded more than one goal just twice this season whilst the Seagulls have managed to score more than once in just five of their 17 Premier League matches so don't expect Brighton to score more than one.
Add in Chelsea to score two or more – something they've done in eight of 11 games against teams currently in the bottom half of the table – and you have BetBuilder that pays 5/6.
The Premier League's other match tonight is at the Brentford Community Stadium where Manchester City are the visitors.
City are out to make it 10 league wins in a row having won the last nine by an aggregate score of 30-6.
City to score two combined with a Chelsea win pays a safe-looking 3/4 Double.
On the goalscoring front Riyad Mahrez has scored in City's last three Premier League matches and is 6/5 to make it four in a row. Pair him up with Lukaku for a near 3/1 Double.

Bet builder @ 6/4 (Whill)
Over 2.5mgs
Each team over 1.5 cards
Think the Boavista game could be interesting for both goals and cards with Guimaraes at home (5 out the last 5 going overs) and Boavista away games (4 out the last 5 going overs) seeing a few high scores. Cards are never far away in Portugal and this fixture has seen 28 yellows in the last 5 h2hs.
Good luck all 🤞🤞
Chelsea v Brighton
Brighton double chance at 7/4 (NAP)
Expect a tight game here as Brighton always raise there game for these fixtures,they have only lost one game in their last 5 outings and the last time they met at Stamford Bridge it finished 0-0.Thiago Silva being injured is a big blow for Chelsea.Tis the season for surprises and given their has been 3 draws in Chelsea last four prem home games the same wouldn’t surprise here.Brighton came from two down to grab a draw at Anfield so they are well capable.
Prediction 1-1
Best of luck

Morning gents,
Estoril’s inability to find the goal that mattered shot down my Nap and Nb with no issues on the card and corner front 😬
Got an 11/4 longshot so not all bad but could have been much better – well done all with winners!
Staying with the Portuguese theme with this one featuring joint top side Sporting playing host to an inform Portimonense outfit…
SPORTING LISBON VS. PORTIMONENSE
(9.00pm)
It’s 9 straight home wins for Sporting and that run stretches back to 19 games at home with just one loss (Ajax) and 2 drawn games – not too shabby! Worth also noting that 100% of the last 5 home games have seen them score at least a brace with 13 for and just 2 against during that spell.
Conversely, Portimonense’s form has come on the road with just 1 defeat and 1 draw on their travels across the last consecutive 10!
Tough one to call with strong home form meeting strong away form but fancy both to score and goals to flow – it’s a betting angle backed up with a historical picture too; 9 of the last 13 H2Hs across the last 10 years have all seen ‘btts & overs’ land!
I’ve picked out the following which mix up goals with the other two Portuguese staples of late: cards and corners:
OVER 2.5 GOALS
OVER 2.5 CARDS
OVER 5.5 CORNERS
(1/1, paddypower) NAP ⭐⭐⭐⭐
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE & OVER 2.5 GOALS
(21/10, bet365) NB ⭐⭐
EACH TEAM 5+ CORNERS

Best of luck!

Excellent again Wire – Turkish delight!
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
After an enjoyable couple of matches today I’ve done a little research and the remaining Turkish Cup tie this evening should see Fenerbahce progress against a side from lower down the Turkish football pyramid. Though the two clubs are experiencing different form coming into this one (think Man United v Blackburn) I can see only goals here!
Definitely a chance of Afjet hitting the net and adding to the overs tally.
