Nuno Espirito Santo faces his former side Wolves with current employers Nottingham Forest only just peaking out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
Forest played well for a lot of their 3-1 defeat at Spurs and had Chris Wood doubled his tally when he missed a massive sitter then they may well have got something from the game.
Santo's side have lost more games than anyone else in the league this year, and that gives Gary O'Neil hope of improving on a run of one win in five that's seemingly scuppered their European chances.
English Premier League - Top 7 Fouls
| Team | Played | Fouls | Av/Game |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolves | 38 | 494 | 13 |
| Spurs | 38 | 462 | 12.2 |
| Bournemouth | 38 | 457 | 12 |
| Brighton | 38 | 453 | 11.9 |
| West Ham | 38 | 421 | 11.1 |
| Chelsea | 38 | 420 | 11.1 |
| Fulham | 38 | 415 | 10.9 |
Leg 1: Chris Wood 1+ shot on target
Wolves have kept just two away clean sheets all season so Chris Wood has every chance of extending his run of scoring in four straight games.
It's a tough run to maintain though, so instead we'll back him to have 1+ shot on target at 4/91.44.
He's hit the target in eight of his last nine and should have no problem doing so again against a susceptible Wolves side.
Leg 2: Ryan Yates 2+ fouls
Fouls are our main focus though and although he's kept his nose clean recently, Ryan Yates was back in business at Spurs with five fouls taking his tally to 48 this season.
Wolves are right up there in the fouls charts, and that can only help us here as Yates is more likely to get involved with a team who also like to dish it out.
Midfield will be a key area and the visitors have decent players in there, so we'll take Yates to make 2+ fouls at 4/71.57.
Leg 3: Morgan Gibbs-White 2+ fouls
We'll also have a go at Morgan Gibbs-White to also register 2+ fouls coming up against his former side again at 9/43.25.
That's a decent price considering Gibbs-white has given away two fouls or more in three of his last four games.
Again, he will be in the heat of that midfield battle and will have plenty of chasing to do - and he's a regular in the foul charts with at least one in nine of his last 10 games, and five of them being multiple foul outlets.
