Collins has committed 20 fouls across his 27 Premier League appearances this season (0.74 per 90) which is a record that includes committing a foul in each of his last five Premier League appearances.

He’ll be lining up against Ollie Watkins who causes opposition centre backs plenty of problems with his clever movement and speed, Watkins is averaging 1.23 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Brentford don’t tend to commit many fouls (7.8 per game) but could be set to see an increase here based on the initial meeting at Villa Park between these sides. Thomas Frank’s men committed 15 fouls in the game, with Collins taking the blame for two of these infringements and the 23 year old also picking up a yellow card.

This increase in foul numbers for Brentford in that matchup lines up well with Villa’s ability to win fouls, Unai Emery’s side have won 371 fouls across their 28 Premier League games this season (13.25 per game). This record suggests that Villa will prompt an increase in Brentford’s foul numbers again here with the battle between Watkins and Collins to take centre stage at the Gtech Community Stadium. 

There is decent value here with PaddyPower, the same selection is priced as low as 1.3 with some bookmakers making the 2.0 offered here quite a generous price when considering Collins’ foul numbers and his potential opponent here.
