Aston Villa vs Bournemouth 

Sunday, 14:00
Live on Sky Sports 

At the prices available, backing both teams to score seems a relatively straightforward punt. 

It is trading at 1.738/11 with the Betfair Exchange. 

Aston Villa were slow out of the traps but have found form now. They failed to score in their first two league games at Villa Park but have scored in each of their last three. 

That said, there are caveats to their blanks. The Villans finished a man light against Newcastle and notoriously Unai Emery struggles against Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace. 

Bournemouth have found the net in all five of their away games in the Premier League and have only kept one clean sheet. That one goal game at Tottenham looks to be the outlier with 20 goals netted across the other four fixtures. 

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth

This is a big one. A big rivalry - no one really knows why - but a big rivalry nonetheless. 

Naturally, the player card market is where I am drawn and with an average of 6.75 per game across the last four head-to-heads, it is with good reason. 

The last time these two squared off there were seven yellows and three red cards and I am hoping for more of the same this Sunday. 

Tim Robinson is a decent appointment as well. He has dished out an average of 4.25 cards per game in the top flight across his career and six or more in four of the 15 games he took charge of last season. 

So, to the card market. 

First up is Daniel Munoz. He picked up 10 cards last season and has 17 in 63 Premier League appearances. He clearly has embraced the culture of this clash as well, having his name taken in two of the last three meetings. 

Marc Guehi is another player with a good track record in this clash. He was sent off in the last meeting making it three cards in the last three against the Seagulls. Last season, he picked up 10 cards in total so the 7/24.50 on offer here is worth a poke. 

I also like the 7/24.50 about Ferdi Kadioglu. The left back has four cards in 15 Premier League starts and he should be tasked with containing Ismaila Sarr who draws 1.4 fouls a game. 

At 60/161.00, I'll be taking the treble as well just in case. 

Manchester City vs Liverpool

Sunday, 16:30
Live on Sky Sports 

I found Liverpool's win over Aston Villa in their last league outing utterly perplexing. 

Arne Slot has spent the last few weeks explaining to teams how to beat Liverpool, go direct, and what did Unai Emery do? He decided to be extra slow in build up and play into their hands. 

Pep Guardiola is far from a reactive manager but surely even he will look to go a little more direct on Sunday, he has certainly got a capable frontman to play that way and in fairness to Pep, he has mixed it up a bit this season. 

Pep isn't as wedded to his total football approach anymore, partly because of last season's disappointment and probably partly because of the recent evolution of football in the Premier League. 

His side only had 33% of possession at the Emirates - the lowest figure any Pep side has ever had in his career - and they went within a whisker of three points. Last season, Ederson also got seven assists - the most a keeper has ever got - and again it just alludes to the fact City can go a little more direct if they have too. 

I am not saying the Cityzens will go route one but I think it opens some betting avenues, all revolving around Erling Haaland. 

The frontman is 8/111.73 to score anytime, 7/24.50 for a brace and 14/115.00 for a hattrick. I cannot resist any of them. 

He's got 14 goals in 10 league games this season taking him to 98 in 107 top flight appearances. 

Historically, Haaland's struggled against Liverpool but I think that can be offset with the Reds defence issues this campaign. The tide could turn in the Norwegian's favour this weekend. 

Lyon vs PSG

I need to make a rare stop in Ligue 1 as well this Sunday to flag a couple of prices in the red card market. 

Lyon host PSG and a red card in the match is 11/26.50 and both teams to get a red card is 125/1126.00, both are worth a tout. 

This bet clicked recently in Lyon's trip to Paris FC, there has been at least one red card in three of their last four games and five of their 11 league fixtures this term. 

Opponents PSG aren't as prolific. In fact, there has not been a red card in any of their domestic fixtures but there has been three red cards in their last two Champions League games with the big bet clicking in their trip to Leverkusen. 

Benoit Bastien has the whistle here and he certainly doesn't mind flashing the red. 

This referee dished out a red card to both Auxerre and Marseille when the sides met at the start of the month taking his league total to three red cards for the season.
