Sasa Lukic has been doing his best to replace foul-machine Joao Palhinha at the base of Fulham’s midfield this season and the Serbian destroyer has been doing a decent job of it, committing 2.58 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League since August.

The 28-year-old has given away at least 2 free kicks in 8 of his 11 Premier League appearances already this season and consistent fouls market performer Lukic offers excellent value at 1.36 to be collared for another couple of fouls on Sunday.

Tyler Dibling’s dazzling wing play has been a bright spark in a dour campaign for Southampton, though the talented teen has routinely been a target for frustrated markers, and the 18-year-old has been drawing a notable 3.20 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League.

Dibling, who ranks 5th in the Premier League for total fouls drawn this season (33), is likely to face similar treatment on Sunday making him a snip at 1.36 to be fouled at least twice again.

Cameron Archer’s erratic finishing is a source of frustration for Southampton fans, but even though he hasn’t had a shot on target in the Premier League since October 19th, the 23-year-old could be worth backing to clock at least 2 attempts against Fulham at a price of 1.44.

Archer, who has been averaging 2.11 shots per 90 in the league, lodged another 2 attempts against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup in midweek and while his accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, he still tends to find himself in promising positions and he could find more room to manoeuvre at Craven Cottage.

Southampton centre-half Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been committing 1.10 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, though that figure is likely to climb when he attempts to get to grips with imposing Fulham striker Raul Jimenez on Sunday.

The Mexican frontman loves to tussle with opposing defenders and Jimenez has drawn 1.67 fouls per 90 minutes for Fulham this season. Harwood-Bellis will have to get physical to deal with the Cottagers’ target man, so look for the youngster to deliver at least 1 foul at an attractive price of 1.67.

No Southampton player has committed more fouls (28) than Flynn Downes so far this season and the tough-tackling 25-year-old is likely to be in the thick of the action again when the Saints visit Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Downes gave away a massive 9 free kicks across Southampton’s last 2 Premier League away assignments at Villa and Brighton, and he is outstanding value at 1.73 to foul at least twice again here.

Ryan Manning gave away 5 free kicks combined in his last 3 Premier League starts for Southampton and the defender could feel the squeeze again on Sunday when he shares a flank with Fulham’s Adama Traore.

Traore has a set of physical traits that few full backs can match and the 28-year-old has won 1.87 fouls per 90 from his rattled markers. Manning will struggle to match Traore’s acceleration and the Ireland international is a top prospect in the 1+ fouls bracket at 1.62 as a result.

Versatile attacker Alex Iwobi has been an effective force in the final third for Fulham this season and the Nigerian’s running power and ball-carrying expertise could make him a menace against Southampton.

The 28-year-old, who has matched team-mate Raul Jimenez for total shots on target in the Premier League this term, had 2 shots on target in 2 of his last 3 starts at Craven Cottage and Iwobi is keenly priced at 1.62 to land just 1 accurate attempt against the Saints.

This is a potential head-to-head we’ve already leaned on in our first bet builder, though Taylor Harwood-Bellis’s skirmish with Mexican striker Raul Jimenez could produce fouls in both directions at Craven Cottage.

Centre-half Harwood-Bellis has won 2 fouls in each of his last 2 run-outs for the Saints and on Sunday, he could draw at least 1 more from the bristly Jimenez, who has been fouling 1.57 times per 90 for Fulham since August. Harwood-Bellis is on the docket at a bumper price of 2.70 to be fouled at least once here.
