Bournemouth should have a significant amount of defensive work to do here against an Arsenal side who will expect to dominate proceedings at the Emirates. Iraola's side usually press with intensity regardless of their opponent, as opposed to sitting back and inviting pressure. Because of that, they rank third in the league for total fouls committed, which has translated to the fourth-most yellow cards. 

Bournemouth picked up three cards in the reverse fixture at the Vitality Stadium, while Evanilson and Dango Ouattara were booked when the Cherries last made the trip to the Emirates. 

There were zero cards shown by a lenient Andy Madley in Arsenal’s last Premier League home game against Everton, but the Gunners are still averaging 1.93 cards drawn per game this term in the league. That figure rises marginally to 2.07 when playing at home, where this selection has landed in seven of their last ten.

There is little to split these two sides as we head into matchday 32 of the Premier League season, as Brentford and Everton are both just three points off Liverpool in fifth. 

Everton’s away record has been a significant contributor to their success this season, and they have consistently been able to pick up points on their travels. The Toffees tend to set up in a compact shape to make themselves hard to break down. They have only conceded 16 goals from their 15 away matches in the league, which is the second-best defensive record, only behind league-leaders Arsenal. Because of that, Everton have only lost five of their 15 away matches. 

Meanwhile, Brentford have failed to win any of their last four home matches, and they were held to a 2-2 draw by bottom side Wolves just before the international break. Everton secured a 3-0 win over Chelsea last time out, and they will be confident of taking something from this clash. 

Burnley have little to play for at this stage, with relegation looking inevitable, and their performances have reflected that. The Clarets have failed to win any of their last six matches across all competitions, and have conceded 12 goals in that stretch. 

Meanwhile, Brighton were in a rich vein of form heading into the international break, having beaten Liverpool 2-1 at the Amex. The Seagulls have won four of their last five league matches, putting them tenth in the standings, and they are not completely out of the race for a European finish just yet. Fabian Hurzeler's side will be looking to pick up where they left off.

Burnley were barely able to lay a glove on Brighton when these sides met in the reverse fixture, as it finished 2-0 on the south coast. Brighton racked up 15 shots and two big chances worth 1.45 xG, while the visitors managed just five shots worth 0.3 xG in return. 

Fulham’s card numbers this season make them well worth backing to pick up at least a couple of bookings at Anfield on Saturday evening. Marco Silva’s side sit towards the upper end of the top-flight disciplinary table this term, averaging just over 2 yellow cards per game, with that figure rising to nearly 2.5 when playing away from Craven Cottage.

What’s more, Fulham have received 2 or more cards in 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches, including home games against the likes of relegation-threatened duo Burnley and West Ham.

While Liverpool are enduring a difficult spell, there is no denying they still possess a wealth of attacking talent in midfield and forward areas that are capable of winning fouls. That is reflected in the fact that the Reds are drawing an average of 2.04 cards per game in the Premier League this season, with 3 of the last 4 visiting sides to Anfield in the top-flight picking up at least 2 bookings. 

The case for this selection is further strengthened by the fact that Man City received 3 bookings despite thrashing Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup last weekend.

It hasn’t quite been the most prolific season for Jarrod Bowen, who only has eight Premier League goals to his name, but he has still registered the most shots and shots on target of any player in the West Ham squad.

His importance in the final third only increases further here, with Summerville nursing an injury heading into this clash. Bowen was desperately unfortunate not to find the back of the net against Leeds last time out, as he recorded six shots and hit the post twice. He did still manage to land this selection with one shot on target. 

However, Bowen should find more success on Friday night against a Wolves side who have conceded 54 goals from their 31 league matches this season. Bowen draws an excellent matchup here, and he should be involved regularly in the final third.

Ladislav Krejci was unavailable for the EFL Cup meeting between these sides, but the Czech Republic international did feature in the league clash at Molineux in January, and he committed two fouls as Wolves won 3-2. Krejci is averaging 1.32 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season, contributing his fair share of infringements as Wolves top the charts for total fouls committed in the league.

The focus here is on his matchup on the flank against Adama Traore, who will want to cause problems against his former club. The Spaniard was drafted into the starting eleven against Leeds last time out, deputising for the injured Crysencio Summerville, and he looks set to keep his starting spot after chipping in with an assist.

Traore often looks to drive at his marker, and he was fouled twice against Leeds - there is a mismatch on the flank here, and Krejci could be in for a difficult night.

Wolves have struggled to exert any real control over Premier League matches this season, and they have one of the worst disciplinary records in the division.

Brazilian midfield duo Joao Gomes and Andre have both accumulated nine yellow cards in the league this season, while Yerson Mosquera has hit double figures with ten cards. They have been the three main culprits for Wolves this campaign, and they all look set to start this weekend. 

While this selection didn't land in the reverse fixture at Molineux in January, the context here is different. Wolves have seen a significant uptick in cards when playing away, and they have landed this selection in 13 out of 15 league matches on the road overall.

They are playing against a West Ham side still fighting for survival, so they are expected to have their hands full, which could make for a feisty contest.

West Ham have averaged 11.58 corners per game in the Premier League this season, one of the highest figures in the division. It has been a relatively even split, with 5.03 corners for and 6.55 against.

The Hammers tend to play with a lot more attacking intent at the London Stadium, so they are averaging 5.53 corners per game at home. They should have plenty of chances against this leaky Wolves backline, so that figure could increase further this weekend. 

Wolves, meanwhile, are averaging just 3.19 corners per game, the lowest of any side in the league, which shows how their opponents are usually able to dominate proceedings. Wolves have spent most of the time this season camped in their own defensive half, and they have conceded 6.03 corners per game in the league.
