Tottenham V Chelsea card double 2

I’ve backed Caicedo for a foul in my balance builder, but there’s a decent chance he picks up a card here as well.

He’s picked up 12 fouls this season, with only Conor Gallagher managing more for Chelsea.

That averages to 1.74 fouls per game.

Like Gallagher, he’s getting away with one too many fouls in my opinion.
He’s been booked twice this season, but will be up against some of the most fouled players in the Tottenham squad: Richarlison, Bissouma, and Maddison.

Given the context of a derby here as well, I fancy his chances of picking up another card tonight.

Sarr is Spurs’ third most prolific fouler, averaging 1.52 fouls per 90 this season.

He’s been booked twice so far this campaign, including in the North London Derby against Arsenal. A similar level of intensity in this game could lead to the same outcome.

I’m expecting this to be a hard fought contest in midfield, Sarr is likely to be contesting duels with Enzo, Caicedo, and Gallagher. Those are three of Chelsea’s four most fouled players in league games.

It has the potential to be a real battle this one, and if it goes that way I expect Sarr to be among those that could be skirting close to the edge.
