- Confirmed XIs were posted at 4:30am PDT, removing unresolved rotation or DNP uncertainty before filing.

Half LightDown 15% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Manchester United lead Chelsea 1-0 at 34'; the over-0.5 first-half condition is already met.
- the clean 1H ladder implies a fitted Poisson mean of about 0.52 goals.
- The clean full-match rungs fit about 2.45 goals; the measured Premier League first-half share is 39.6%, implying about 0.97 first-half goals.
- Full-match rungs at 3.5 and 5.5 were discarded for spreads wider than 5c; the fitted full mean is approximate.

HandicapDown 13% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Dixon-Coles/lambda cross-check puts Chelsea winning by 2+ at approximately 21.6%; the NO side wins about 78.4%.
- Current-season Premier League margin sample: Chelsea home wins by 2+ occurred 18 of 80 times (22.5%), below the 25.5% YES mid.
