Aston Villa/Chelsea FA Cup

Ollie Watkins & Cole Palmer 1+ shot on goal (+104)

Backing two usual suspects in Coke Palmer and Ollie Watkins this afternoon in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Will start off with Watkins as he is listed first on the slip. Watkins has a shot on goal in each of the L5 games and has 16 total shots during that span. As I talk about in every write up that includes Ollie Watkins he has been as consistant as they come in the Premier League this season. Watkins has a shot on goal in 20 of 23 games and a SOG in 18 of the L19. Against a Chelsea defense that just allowed 4 goals so Wolves and a hat trick to Cunha who plays the same position as Watkins I will gladly take my chances.

Next, the rising star Cole Palmer. Coming off the bench for the first part of this season he has finally earned his starting spot and made the most of it. A shot on goal in 14 of 20 EPL games, 7 of the L9 in the EPL, 6 shots on goal in the L4 EPL games, and 24 total shots in the L7 games. Aston Villas defense will be tough to crack as they allow the 4th least goals in the Premier League just 30 conceded all year but Palmers form is just took good at the moment for me to fade. Lastly, it looks like Nicholas Jackson will be back in the lineup for Chelsea which should hopefully take some attention off Palmer and leave him open for a couple good looks. GL.
