Bet Builder double pays 9/5
Brighton predictably outshot Everton comfortably on Tuesday but Lewis Dunk's failure to get among the shot-takers proved costly for us.
Onwards and upwards to Wednesday and a massive game at the bottom of the Premier League.
A win would be huge for either side - and dump Everton into even greater trouble - but the betting angle here is to back a couple of solid-looking odds-on shots in a 9/5 Bet Builder.
Both bets come in what are fairly new markets - namely attempted passes and fouls committed.
First up it's the hosts' James Ward-Prowse, who looks good for 50+ passes here.
Ward-Prowse begins a lot of Southampton's attacks, picking up the ball off the back line and then striding forward.
Subsequently, the England midfielder has landed this in six of his last seven games and nine of his last 12.
With Forest's possession figure being the lowest in the league, Saints - and JWP - should see enough of the ball to bring this home.
Secondly, the visitors' Brennan Johnson can be backed for 1+ foul with the 8/11 price looking too big to miss.
The Wales star has committed at least one foul in 12 of his 15 Premier League starts this season and it's not hard to see him conceding another in what promises to be a pacy battle against his likely opponent down the Forest right, Kyle Walker-Peters.
The two picks combined pay out at just over 9/5 which, given the stats involved, looks well worth an interest.
