Live on Sky Sports Premier League & Main Event
There's set to be an intriguing battle for props punters to follow in Friday Night Football at Selhurst Park.
Leg 1: Jordan Ayew 2+ fouls
Palace's Jordan Ayew is the most-fouled player in the Premier League so far this season and here he's likely to go up against Tottenham left-back Destiny Udogie. The Italy international is in the top 10 for fouls committed - as is Ayew.
In short, it's a match-up destined (sorry) to produce fouls and backing each man for 2+ looks the way to go.
Leg 2: Destiny Udogie 2+ fouls
Ayew has landed this bet in seven of his nine starts this season yet is 4/51.80 for a repeat here, while Udogie has delivered on six of nine occasions.
Up against each other, let the fireworks commence, especially given the referee is Andy Madley.
He's averaging a whopping 27.17 fouls per game, a figure which puts him second in that particular table - and the only man above him, Josh Smith, has only taken charge of two games.
I did consider backing the duo to be carded - Madley is also averaging more than six cards per game - but the combined price of 7/1 about that outcome feels too short.
Leg 3: Heung-min Son 2+ shots
Instead, I'll mix the fouls elements with two picks from the shots markets.
With Spurs flying high at the top of the table - a win here would send them five points clear - I think it could pay to side with two of their attacking stars.
Both Heung-min Son and James Maddison have shone across the opening nine games, delivering goals, assists and shots.
The latter it the focus here.
Leg 4: James Maddison 2+ shots
Both men have hit 2+ shots eight times out of nine and so look solid plays.
OK, Palace haven't got the worst record when it comes to conceding shots but you'd expect Spurs to dominate the ball given they've had 61% of possession in the opening quarter of the season and Palace only 44%.
The star pair should get chances to let fly and adding both men for 2+ shots creates a four-legged Bet Builder which pays just over 4/15.00.
That will do nicely.
