If he starts, Levante set-piece threat Chema is a fun ‘anytime’ poke at 20/1 (188Bet) when mighty Barca visit (7.45pm) RUDI 11/1 TO EXPLOIT A DUFFY-SIZED HOLE

-

CHELSEA will find out if Alvaro Morata is better than nothing, or vice versa, at Brighton (1.30pm). Maurizio Sarri must reshuffle in the absence of his Spanish ‘ace’, but can call back Eden Hazard to a well-rested first-choice XI after some midweek Europa larks.

The Seagulls can’t begin to match him, or halfa-dozen others, for class – but Hazard’s tiny scorer prices aren’t making me feel Christmass­y.

The absence of banned giant Shane Duffy in the home defence opens the door for ‘anytime scorer’ punts on some less cordon bleu Chelsea threats.

I’ll take a fun-sized poke at the 11/1 (Bet365) for meat-and-spuds Antonio Rudiger (right) sticking his swede on something.
