“Right wing back Daniel Munoz is 1 of the most enjoyable players in his position to watch in the Premier League. He provides a great mix of distance covered, tackles, goals and assists.

Munoz’s threat has turned into goal contributions in recent matches. In his last 6 games, he managed an assist v Brentford plus 0.04 xG, another assist v Manchester United plus 0.28 xG, a goal from 0.82 xG v Doncaster, 0.2 xG v Everton, a goal from 0.16 xG v Fulham and an assist plus 0.3 xG v Aston Villa.

In all competitions this season, Munoz has 4 goals and 5 assists.”

“With new England manager Thomas Tuchel watching from the stands, Crystal Palace’s England trio of Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze showcased a scintillating performance v Aston Villa on Tuesday night.  

Eze’s performance was in line with what he’s been producing in recent weeks – lots of direct running and shots at goal. Eze is averaging 3.4 shots per game in the Premier League this season, with his shot numbers reading 6-5-3-2-2-4-2-6-4-0-3-2-1-3-6-4-1-2-5-0-4-4-4. 

Millwall have been operating with Tristan Crama at right back since he signed from Brentford in January, but he is cup-tied after featuring in the competition for Exeter when on loan at the beginning of the season. It could mean Wes Harding is drafted in from the cold to try and contend with Eze.”

“Cunha has won 2+ fouls in each of his last five appearances for Wolves in the Premier League. The wanderers’ talisman is incredibly efficient when it comes to winning fouls making this showdown against the Premier League’s top ranked team when it comes to fouls committed a perfect one for Cunha to maintain this high fouls won record.

Cunha has won 58 fouls across his 26 Premier League appearances this season (2.43 per 90) which is a record that shows that he wins fouls at a consistent rate across a decent sample size and this isn’t just a recent increase in his foul numbers.

In the recent Premier League meeting between these sides, Bournemouth committed 17 fouls – a high total even for the Cherries who are averaging 13.7 fouls committed per game in the Premier League this season. Cunha was fouled twice in the game and contested 16 duels, these numbers suggest that Cunha will continue to be hacked down here by an aggressive Bournemouth midfield.”

“Stoke’s set up of late has given them a wide open look in midfield. The exposed Potters have been shipping a huge number of shots against. In matches played since the start of February, shot numbers faced by Stoke read 20-23-10-5-15-15. The ‘23’ was an FA Cup game v Cardiff that went to extra-time, but that still leaves an average of 13 shots faced per game in their last 5 league matches. Stoke have conceded 11 goals in this time – more than anyone else in the division.

On paper, a midfield quintet of Imran Louza, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Edo Kayembe, Tom Ince and Giorgi Chakvetadze should run all over their Stoke counterparts. All 5 players have an element of appeal as a goalscorer bet.

Finding the best value player will be the selection. Tom Ince is the easiest player to rule out as the 5.50 available odds feel short. Tom Dele-Bashiru has scored twice in his last 4 matches and is on penalties, he’s priced at 7.50. Edo Kayembe has already scored 8 goals this season and is priced at 6.0. Giorgi Chakvetadze has a favourable matchup against a weak Stoke right-hand side, he has taken 11 shots in his last 6 matches and from a tactical point-of-view feels like a nice play, he’s available at 6.40. But, the selection is going to be Imran Louza, who is priced significantly bigger than the others at 12.0.

Louza spent time last season on loan at Lorient in France and was treated as persona non grata back at Watford at the start of the season. He has since been reintegrated into the first XI and has played himself back into favour.

Louza has taken 9 shots in his last 4 matches and scored once. He isn’t the type to get beyond the front-line but the gaps in Stoke’s set up come in front of the defence rather than behind it, which could lead to multiple efforts at goal from around the edge of the box.

Watford barely had to break sweat to beat Luton 2-0 last weekend, whereas Stoke come into the fixture off the back of a 3-1 beating by Middlesbrough on Tuesday night and a 4-2 hammering by Norwich last Saturday. Everything points towards Watford goals and at almost double the price of his midfield teammates, Imran Louza is the play.”

“Despite losing 2-0 to Liverpool last weekend, Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku made headlines by dribbling past Trent Alexander-Arnold on no fewer than 12 occasions. Doku’s style leads to him collecting plenty of fouls – 1.7 per game this season. There’s no guarantee that Doku will start here, and gametime on the left wing could be given to Jack Grealish. Grealish suffers even more fouls than Doku, at an average of 2.58 per match this season.

Whether it be Doku or Grealish, Plymouth Argyle’s right wing-back Matthew Sorinola is going to be up against a dribbly foul-magnet player, and Sorinola isn’t shy of putting his foot in. In all competitions this season, Sorinola averages 1.25 fouls per game. His foul numbers read as follows: 1-1-0-2-0-1-0-0-0-2-2-0-1-2-1-0-3-2-0-1-1.

Sorinola has had multiple foul games on 5 occasions this season and may have to resort to being physical if he’s to shackle Doku/Grealish.”
