My analysis
When Chelsea faced Brighton last week and Cole Palmer scored a historical "poker" — netting four goals in the first half of the match — the limits of the visitors were exposed. 

Brighton went up after just seven minutes, but by half-time they were trailing by two goals. The 4-2 scoreline was set after 45 minutes and didn't change until the last whistle, despite many chances being wasted at both ends. 

To other Premier League managers, this game served as great learning material on how to beat Brighton's style of play. Almost every Chelsea break in the other half ended with a goal attempt, and it's hard to see Brighton's liabilities repaired in just a week's time.

Tottenham are just the team you don't want to host after Chelsea. That's because their goalscoring potential is huge, and you can easily be exposed to similar (if not bigger) trouble.

There have been Over 2.5 goals scored in 29 of Tottenham's previous 35 Premier League games, including Spurs scoring at least twice in each of their last three matches against Brighton.

This game screams goals, and you can't ignore the numbers, the form they are both in, and their playing principles.

Over 3.5

Solanke 1+ shot on target

Tottenham Over 4.5 corners

Solanke was the star signing for Tottenham in the summer, with Spurs paying Bournemouth $83 million to secure his services. The 27-year-old needed a bit of time to settle in and also battled ankle problems for more than a month, but since he returned to action, he's been doing great for Ange Postecoglou's side.

Solanke netted in three consecutive matches, including against Man United last weekend. He would have been a threat for Ferencvaros in the Europa League as well, but Postecoglou decided to give him a rest and only sent him to play the final 10 minutes in Budapest.

Having him in the SGP makes total sense. If you believe his Premier League goal-scoring streak will continue, you could opt for a tempting +125 for Solanke to score anytime during the match.
