Aston Villa v Luton (Sunday, 14:00)
Leg 1: Matty Cash to commit 1+ foul @ 4/91.44
Leg 2: Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist @ 1/21.50
Europa League competitors Aston Villa take on Luton Town at Villa Park on Sunday hoping to continue their good form.
In Ollie Watkins they have a striker in great form and he's a decent price to score or assist in this game. Luton have the joint worst away goals conceded in the league, and I see no reason why Watkins can't continue this as he has contributed directly to 10 goals this campaign.
Matty Cash has been a revelation in an attacking sense this season, granted more freedom by Unai Emery to be more forward thinking. Defensively, Villa have been very strong at home, only conceding three goals in four games. Though they rate low in the tackles stakes against the other 19, their player fouls are an interesting angle.
Cash commits over one per game on average and with Luton looking wide to get the ball into Carlton Morris, this could be an avenue to explore.
Man Utd v Man City (Sunday, 15:30)
Leg 1: Rasmus Hojlund to commit 1+ foul @ 1/21.50
Leg 2: Diogo Dalot to commit 1+ foul @ 2/51.40
It's hard to know exactly what to expect when the two titans of Manchester meet at Old Trafford on Sunday. The home side may feel another corner has been turned after their midweek win over Copenhagen, but there were still signs of impregnability at the back, culminating with a late penalty save.
The away side look a little jaded but are still bang there so it would be no surprise to see a long running winning streak from them. Fouls looks the way to play though, and both come from the home side.
While Rasmus Hojland may not have been chasing Haaland down in the goalscoring department, he has impressed with his pace and physicality. Up against wily defenders here, he may prove his average of just under a foul a game is merited in being onside with.
Diego Dalot is another who averages around a foul a game and loves a tackle,. This sort of game usually fires the Portuguese player up - he received a card within two minutes of the only derby he featured in last season.
We'll err on the side of caution and go with him to commit at least one foul, backing him to be lured in by The Citizens intricate passing and lightning sharp counter attacks.
