Many Tottenham supporters questioned the signing of Conor Gallagher initially, but the former Atletico Madrid midfielder has become one of Roberto De Zerbi’s most important players.
Gallagher’s relentless workrate and energy have helped Spurs improve significantly in recent weeks as they edge closer towards Premier League survival.
Against his former club, we expect the midfielder to be fully fired up once again. Gallagher averages 1.5 fouls per Premier League match this season and committed three in Tottenham’s most recent game against Leeds eight days ago.
Given the intensity of this London derby, backing Gallagher for at least one foul looks a strong selection.
Moises Caicedo is another midfielder who is always heavily involved in the action, though that often results in fouls.
The Ecuador international averages 1.6 fouls committed per game in the Premier League this season and heads into this fixture after being booked in each of his last four matches.
That run includes the FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City at Wembley, where Caicedo committed three fouls during another combative midfield display.
He only committed one foul in the reverse fixture earlier this season, but with Tottenham’s midfield playing far more aggressively under De Zerbi now, we expect Caicedo to have plenty of defensive work to do.
That makes backing him for two or more fouls a strong play.
Joao Palhinha may be best known for his tackling and defensive work, but the Portuguese midfielder has become an increasingly important attacking contributor for Tottenham this season.
The on-loan midfielder has scored four goals in 21 Premier League starts and continues to find himself in dangerous positions around the box.
Palhinha averages just under one shot per game in the league and has managed a shot on target in two of his last three Premier League appearances.
With the midfielder eager to prove he deserves a permanent move to Spurs next season, we expect him to test the Chelsea goalkeeper at least once on Tuesday night.
Neither Chelsea nor Tottenham have looked convincing defensively in recent months, which points strongly towards both teams finding the net.
The history between these two clubs also suggests goals are highly likely, with over three goals scored on average across the last seven meetings.
Three of Tottenham’s last five matches have seen both teams score, while Chelsea have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League since January 17. The Blues have now conceded in 14 consecutive league matches, highlighting their ongoing defensive issues.
With both sides carrying attacking quality but struggling defensively, backing both teams to score looks a strong option.
