Our top tipster Lewis Jones, aka Jones Knows, provides his analysis and betting insight for a busy weekend of Premier League action. Set pieces could be where this game is won and lost - and the numbers suggest Chelsea are there to be got at. Everton under David Moyes have built a clear identity around dead-ball situations, using their physicality and aerial presence to turn corners and free kicks into genuine scoring opportunities.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have developed a rather less convincing reputation in this department. They have already conceded seven goals from set pieces this season - more than any other Premier League side. And this is not simply a short-term problem.
Chelsea are conceding set-piece goals at a rate of 0.53 per 90 minutes since the start of last season, the highest ratio of any Premier League team over that period. So, who better to target in the goalscorer market than James Tarkowski. The Everton defender is a major weapon at attacking set pieces, leading the way among the club's defenders for touches in the opposition box and shots.
His recent record offers further encouragement. Tarkowski has scored three times across his last 15 games, including a goal against Bournemouth this season. At 14/1 with Sky Bet, the price is big enough to tempt me.

Brentford's direct approach has repeatedly caused problems for his footballing philosophy, finding ways to bypass the press and turn matches into the sort of physical, second-ball contests that can leave his teams exposed. Of course, Iraola now has a higher calibre of player at his disposal than he did at Bournemouth.
But better players do not automatically solve tactical problems, particularly when the opposition know how to exploit them. Brentford have shown they can make life difficult for this style of football. Liverpool's early-season numbers also make uncomfortable reading.
