Rob Jones has the whistle on the South Coast and he has dished out an average of 4.31 cards per game in the Premier League this season. 

He's really turned it on this year dishing out no fewer than six cards in any of his four top flight games, 26 in total. 

Given the referee and these two sides' disciplinary records, the player card market is worth a look.

Only Brighton (82) and Tottenham (85) have picked up more yellow cards than Bournemouth this campaign (81). 

Alex Jimenez is their serial offender with 10 cards and is worth a punt to be carded on Sunday. 

As for Crystal Palace, this fixture comes sandwiched in between a Europa Conference League semi-final so we should expect to see Oliver Glasner ring the changes. 

This could see a start for Will Hughes in the middle of the park and his price to be carded also appeals. 

Hughes has picked up seven cards in 1420 minutes of league action this season, taking his Eagles tally to 34 cards across five seasons.

Naturally, the double appeals at a smidge over 8/19.00.

Manchester United v Liverpool - Use your head

This fixture doesn't quite have the allure it once did - but it's still a fierce rivalry and with another good referee in charge of proceedings there could be plenty of cards flashed. 

Darren England has dished out 90Y and 3R cards in 21 Premier League appearances this term, brandishing 49 cards in nine appearances this year (7-3-10-4-5-5-4-5-6). 

With nine cards in the league this season, Dominik Szoboszlai's price to be carded appeals. 

He should be operating in midfield on Sunday, where he has picked up two cautions in his last four appearances. 

Another angle worth considering is Casemiro to score a header. 

The issue is, Casemiro is only 4/15.00 to score a header. Not to worry - backing him to have a headed shot on target pays out at 11/43.75 and this looks the more sensible play.

I touted it when United played Chelsea, typically he scored with his head in the game before and the game since but it's an angle worth pursuing. 

Eight of his nine goals have come via his bounce this season, as have 20 of his 48 shots. 

Set pieces could be a route worth exploring for the Red Devils as Liverpool have conceded 16 times from them this season - the joint-second most in the league. 

Aston Villa v Tottenham - Corner the value

It's fair to say Aston Villa's priorities are elsewhere.

This clash comes slapbang in the middle of their Europa League semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest and at the halfway stage, the Villans trail 1-0. 

Unai Emery has made no secret of his love for continental knockout competitions and with his side in a comfortable position in the league, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him ring the changes on Sunday. 

Villa sit in fifth place in the Premier League - the final Champions League spot - within three points of third and eight clear of sixth with four games to go. 

In the games following European matches recently, the Villans have been dropping points. 

The last five games Villa have won two, drawn one and lost two. They got beat by Brentford, Manchester United, drew with Nottingham Forest and beat West Ham and Sunderland. They could have lost the latter in the dying stages but nicked it in injury time. 

I wouldn't back them as 23/202.15 favourites against Tottenham that is for sure. Not that I would back Spurs to win but I do like the look of their corner line.

At the prices available, I am going to take Tottenham to have over 5.5 corners, over 7.5 corners and over 9.5 corners.

Since Roberto De Zerbi took charge, Spurs had five corners against Wolves and seven against Brighton. De Zerbi usually has an immediate impact on sides attacking output and this looks to be the case at Tottenham. 

I am also going to combine Tottenham to have over 9.5 corners and 20 or more shots at 99/1100.00. Just in case. 

It's too statistics that go hand in hand if a side is chasing a game and should that be the case, Spurs will throw everything at Villa given their desperate position at the wrong end of the table.
