Preview

There are 91 places between Chelsea and Chesterfield on the football pyramid, but if the National League Spireites are to land a blow at Stamford Bridge on Saturday then it’s likely that Kabongo Tshimanga will provide it.

Tshimanga has netted 18 times in 20 league games this season and would be the man to step up to the spot should Chesterfield be awarded a penalty. Quotes of 11-2 about the National League’s top scorer making a name for himself could prove generous.

The magic of the Cup clearly still burns bright for Southampton’s Nathan Redmond, who has scored five goals and registered two assists in his last seven FA Cup appearances.

With Moussa Djenepo at the Africa Cup of Nations and Che Adams sidelined, it seems likely that Redmond will start at Swansea on Saturday.

The Swans have conceded eight times in their last three games - all defeats - and have not played in nearly a month. Redmond’s pace may cause them plenty of problems.

In Saturday's early televised kick-off, a number of illnesses and injuries mean that Millwall could be forced to field a weakened backline against Crystal Palace.

And of those still standing, Jake Cooper could be a good bet at 7-2 to be shown a card. The centre-back has been booked six times in the league this season and will be in for a tricky afternoon against a lively Palace attack.

With Wilfried Zaha away on international duty, youngsters Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze are likely to start and should trouble Cooper and co.
