Palmer is by no means the most prolific forward entering the tournament, with the 23-year-old scoring 15 goals in 37 Premier League matches this season. However, he is facing an LAFC team that has conceded bundles of goals recently.

The MLS side has allowed at least two goals in six of its previous 10 matches. And if I'm being candid, the teams they shipped those goals against are nowhere near as fluid, expansive, or dynamic as Chelsea. The Blues should score at least two goals, possibly three. If Palmer remains on the pitch for 60 minutes, he should have enough chances to finish.

Palmer is also Chelsea's penalty specialist. He scored on his first 13 penalties for the Blues before missing on his 14th attempt against Leicester. With the amount of pressure Chelsea should pour on LAFC, earning a spot kick is by no means farfetched.

Palmer to register at least two shots on target is another appealing prop (-110 via DraftKings). The odds range widely at our best soccer betting sites, with DraftKings offering the best value to bet365's worst value (-125).
