"The higher lines are also worth considering with 5/1 offered about 3+ shots and a whopping 17/1 that Yates lands 4+ for the third time in four games."

Nottingham Forest midfielder Ryan Yates is at the heart of Saturday's Bet Builder in the Betfair football props column...

Wing-back Neco Williams has produced more shots than any other Nottingham Forest player so far this season and it's probably no surprise that the layers have wised up to his ability in the shots market.

However, value remains in the Forest side in the shape of Ryan Yates.

The midfielder was handed his chance as a second-half substitute against Everton recently and caught the eye with no fewer than four shots that day.

His display earned him a recall to the starting XI and the following week he managed another four in the home defeat to Spurs.

OK, last time out Manchester City kept him and his side quiet (again, no surprise there) but this offers another chance and at 6/4 for 2+ shots, Yates looks a cracking price.

He loves to fire off a shot from distance, while he's also a big threat in the air from set-pieces.

The higher lines are also worth considering with 5/1 offered about 3+ shots and a whopping 17/1 that Yates lands 4+ for the third time in four games.

To complete our Bet Builder, I'll put Yates in with the simple home win.

Forest have taken to the Premier League pretty well and could have taken something out of their game with Spurs last time out at the City Ground where they've already beaten West Ham.

Bournemouth remain without a manager and while they put their 9-0 hammering by Liverpool behind them in midweek, they were still second best to a struggling Wolves side in a goalless draw. No side has had fewer shots so Forest should be on the front foot here.

Forest to win with Yates having 2+ shots pays close to 4/1.
