Liam Delap offers great value to be carded here having picked up 3 bookings in his last 6 Premier League games for Ipswich. Unai Emery’s side win more fouls than any other Premier League side, racking up 13.3 per game on average.

Ipswich’s main man is also their most frequent fouler, committing an enormous 2.50 fouls per 90. Delap has fouled in all but 2 of his 23 Premier League games this season, and has committed multiple fouls in 12 of these 23. He was also booked in his previous outing against Villa, despite it being 1 of the 2 games in which he did not foul.

Delap uses his pace to press the opposition, and with Villa liking to play out from the back, that offers plenty of opportunities for fouls. He will be up against the makeshift centre-back pairing of Lamare Bogarde and Boubacar Kamara, who both win well over 1.5 fouls per 90 in the Premier League, at 2.31 and 1.74 per 90 respectively.

Kamara has won 2 or more fouls in 2 of his 3 starts at centre-back for the Villans, and whilst Bogarde has not yet featured as a centre-back from the start, he has still won 5 fouls in his last 2 starts for the club. The fact that both centre-backs are comfortable on the ball means they will be happy to invite the press from Delap, only increasing the chances of him picking up a card here.

Ryan Christie’s price is extremely high here, with the bookies factoring in the fact that he is one card away from a suspension. However, with 9 games to go until the threat of suspension is lifted from Christie, and a straightforward home game against Wolves next up, the suspension seems almost inevitable, so we can’t imagine it will affect the way he plays too much.

No Premier League side commits more fouls than Bournemouth’s 13.50, and Ryan Christie’s 1.95 fouls per 90 are a big part of that number. The Cherries’ 2.54 cards per game is also the third-most in the league. The Scotland international has fouled twice or more in 6 of his last 8 Premier League starts, and has now been booked in 4 of his last 6 league games.

Surprisingly, for a team sitting dead last, Southampton actually win a lot of fouls, their 11.8 fouls drawn per game being the fifth-most in the division. Christie will be up against the midfield duo of Mateus Fernandes and Joe Aribo, who have won well over one foul per 90 in the Premier League on average, Fernandes drawing 1.66 and Aribo 1.35. At 4/1, Christie offers fantastic value here.
