58/1 Chelsea vs Leeds Ultimate Bet Builder for Sunday's FA Cup clash
Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
Chelsea are hoping for a response after sacking Liam Rosenior in midweek, handing the reins to Calum McFarlane for this FA Cup semi-final clash with Leeds.
I’ve taken a look through the player prop markets for Sunday’s clash to put together a 58/1 Ultimate Bet Builder tip, which you can back below.
Chelsea vs Leeds Ultimate Bet Builder
Noah Okafor to score anytime
While Chelsea are expected to bounce back in the aftermath of Rosenior’s departure, this is a Leeds side which troubled the Blues under their two previous managers. Chelsea have deeper lying issues than just Rosenior, with their available options at centre-half and in goal alarming considering the fortune they’ve spent.
Okafor scored against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in February, and the forward has netted three times across his last three games in a fine run of form for Leeds.
Enzo Fernandez 1+ shot on target
Fernandez was in my midweek tip at Brighton, but that display from the entire team can almost be written off in the light of Rosenior’s departure. The Argentine was shunted into the front three in yet another tactical change, but he’s expected to pick up a more familiar role, with the Blues expecting the likes of Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer to return to the side.
Heading into that clash at the Amex, Fernandez had a shot on target in 11 of his previous 14 starts for the Blues. The midfielder scored their only goal in McFarlane’s last game in interim charge, netting an equaliser at Manchester City. Fernandez hit the target with two of his three shots that day, so back him for another shot on goal at Wembley.
Moises Caicedo to be carded
Caicedo hasn’t been booked in over a month for Chelsea, having picked up his 12th booking of the campaign against Newcastle in the middle of March.
That’s in part due to him being one caution away from a ban in the league, but he’s also failed to win a tackle in three of his last four. That drop-off points to how the Blues fell apart at the end of Rosenior’s short reign.
Caicedo was booked in the February meeting with Leeds, and he is the Blues’ standout candidate for a caution this weekend.
Jayden Bogle to be carded
Bogle has seven bookings for the season, picking up the last in their 2-2 draw with West Ham in the last round. He’s set to take on Pedro Neto and Marc Cucurella as the right-wing-back, which should be a difficult test.
That pair have drawn a combined 65 fouls this season, while the Blues draw bookings at the third-highest rate in the Premier League. Bogle has committed at least one foul in 15 straight games, and this will be one of the toughest matchups he has faced in that run.
