Sheffield United v Manchester City - KO 14:00
Leg 1: Both Teams To Score (No) @ 13/201.65
Leg 2: Rodri to attempt 90 or more passes @ 4/111.36
Man City have started the season with two clean sheets in their opening two league games and one was against the ultra-attacking Newcastle. Sheff Utd look to have signed Cameron Archer from Villa, but he won't be available here and that also shouldn't be enough to suddenly see them banging in goals. BTTS - No looks a solid bet as City can win to nil and record a third straight league clean sheet.
Man City's main man in midfield is Rodri and he records an astonishing number of passes per game. In the opening two league games this season, he's had 110 attempted passes away to Burnley and recorded 135 attempted passes at home to Newcastle.
90+ against a team that will be lucky to have 20 or 25% possession looks a cracking selection to add into this bet builder and the danger looks his potential minutes.
Newcastle United v Liverpool - KO: 16:30
Leg 3: Dan Burn to commit 2 or more fouls @ 15/82.88
Leg 4: Luis Diaz to have 1 or more shots on target @ 4/61.67
Dan Burn will not be looking forward to the task of dealing with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota as they switch from side to side throughout this fixture.
All three will look to use their pace to get Burn facing his own goal and Burn will - on more than one occasion - be faced with having to commit a foul to stop the Liverpool attack.
Luis Diaz has made a cracking start to this season with two goals in as many matches and a season xG of 1.26. He is also averaging 3.5 shots per game which for me makes 1+ Shot on Target the final leg and arguably strongest leg of this cross-game Bet Builder.
His current form makes Trippier to be carded an attractive bet also, which is priced at 5/23.50.
