Liam Rosenior got off to a flying start as Chelsea boss at the weekend but now faces his first major test as the Blues host Arsenal in the EFL Cup semi-finals tonight.
An FA Cup tie away to Charlton was a potential banana skin for Rosenior but his dugout debut ended in a 5-1 victory.
He now takes charge at Stamford Bridge for the first time and is in at the deep end with a London derby against the Premier League and Champions League leaders.
Chelsea vs Arsenal top betting tips
Arsenal also came through unscathed away to Championship opposition in the FA Cup, recovering from an early Porstmouth goal to win 4-1.
They're still fighting on all fronts in what promises to be a memorable season but the EFL Cup is probably lowest on their list of priorities.
This tie means more to Chelsea's hopes of securing some silverware but they're 12/5 outsiders tonight, with the Gunners favourites at 13/10.
It ended in a 1-1 draw when Arsenal came to Stamford Bridge on league duty in November and the Blues played most of that game with 10 men.
So there might be some value in backing them to win either half tonight at 11/10 with SkyBet.
Seven yellows were flashed in addition to Moises Caicedo's red in that league meeting and the safest bet tonight is probably backing another busy night for the ref.
Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez is usually in the thick of things when it gets a bit heated and he's 3/1 with SkyBet to go into the book.
Nigeria vs Morocco
It's semi-final time at the Africa Cup of Nations and the clash between Nigeria and hosts Morocco should be a cracker.
The Super Eagles have arguably been the most impressive team at the tournament, winning every game while scoring freely on their march to the last four.
But Morocco have home advantage and were comfortable 2-0 winners over a decent Cameroon side in their quarter-final.
They are 6/5 favourites with most firms tonight while the Nigerians are as big as 27/10 with Bet365.
This has the makings of a tight game so the half-time draw stands a good chance and it pays 27/25 with BetMGM.
Both teams boast plenty of firepower and a double on strikers Victor Osimhen and Ayoub El Kaabi each having a shot on target pays 149/100 at BetMGM.

Heart of Midlothian vs St Mirren
Hearts continue to lead the way in the SPFL Premiership and should put three more points on the board when they host struggling St Mirren tonight.
A win would send the Jambos six points clear of Rangers again and they are hot favourites at a best 4/9 with Ladbrokes.
St Mirren have drawn in three of their last four meetings with Hearts but all those stalemates came in Paisley.
They've lost on their last three visits to Tynecastle and sit third bottom after taking just a point from their last four outings in the SPFL Premiership.
A lack of firepower has been the biggest reason for their slump so a Hearts win to nil could pay off tonight at 5/4 with BetVictor.
Both teams are strong from set-pieces and we saw 13 corners in their last league meeting. That makes over 11.5 corners a decent option tonight at 6/4 with Coral.
