Here are a few of Chelsea&#8217;s offensive stats and where they rank in the EPL, according to Fotmob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>36.0 expected goals (2nd)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>61 big chances (2nd)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6.2 shots on target per match (2nd)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are following English football, you could probably guess that all of those stats are ranked second to Liverpool who is lighting the league on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Chelsea is slowly creeping into the trophy conversation and the club will need to keep tallying up wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the home side to grab the victory here as its momentum continues to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Liverpool\/Leicester over 3.5 goals (-182):<\/strong> As briefly mentioned before, Liverpool has been an offensive juggernaut this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reds score the most goals per game (2.3) and generate chances at an alarming rate (71 big chances created).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting in on the Liverpool side is tough here as it is -1,000 to win and -400 to win by two or more goals. However, I believe this is a sneaky way to find value on the home side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four of the last five EPL games Liverpool has been a part of have gone over this total. The offence itself has scored two-plus goals in eight straight matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other good news for this leg is that Liverpool has conceded in nine of 16 games this season so don&#8217;t be shocked if Leicester finds a way to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the idea is that The Reds cover this total alone and take advantage of a bad defensive side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leicester City has conceded 35.2 xG which is the third-most in the EPL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manchester United to win (+100)<\/strong>: Wolverhampton has been dreadful this season with a 3-3-11 record and I&#8217;m looking to fade the side, even at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wolves are 1-0-4 in their last five and concede the most goals per match (2.4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manchester United are not in contention to win the league by any means but this is good value against a team in the basement of the standings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Red Devils are 1-0-3 in their last four league games but all those opponents are well inside the top 10 of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before that, Man U beat Everton and Leicester 4-0 and 3-0 respectively. Those are squads much closer to the standard that Wolverhampton provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 1:24 p.m. on 12\/23\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EPL is back on boxing day and I&#8217;m sharing a parlay for the action.
