Mo Salah has been in amazing form. He leads the Premier League golden boot race with 18 goals and the assist charts with 13. The Egyptian King returned to form in midweek with a great finish against Lille and it is difficult to keep him out of either scoring or assisting in any match.

He could potentially have a huge game here against an Ipswich side who just conceded 6 times to Man City. Salah is on penalty duty which is another advantage when taking this bet, which is short priced but a great bet builder addition.

With Liverpool such a short priced favourite and expected to win easily then we have to assume that Salah would be involved in at least 1 of the goals directly.

The Ipswich Town captain does a lot of the dirty work in this team, averaging 2.20 tackles per 90 and exactly 2 fouls. He has obtained the joint-most Ipswich cards this season (7) and it’s always going to be difficult for him to play a clean game, especially as a massive away underdog at Liverpool.

Facing Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister who are fouled 1.50 and 1.20 times per 90 will add to the challenge. It would not be a surprise to see him commit multiple fouls or be carded but, for this bet builder let’s play it safe by only needing 1 Morsy foul.

The Argentinian World Cup winner ranks in the top 10 for fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League (1.90) so we just need him to be close to his seasonal average by backing 2 or more fouls.

He only played the second half v Lille in midweek but still managed to commit a foul and was also carded. His card count is high this season across all competitions (9) which tells its own story.

Up against Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson who are fouled 1.40 and 1.50 times per 90 in the Premier League.

Ipswich’s main man upfront Liam Delap has found some form recently, scoring in 2 of his last 4 Premier League games so his confidence should be high. 17 of his 35 shots have been on target this season which is close to a 50% accuracy ratio.

He can be a streaky player and his shots on target come in clumps. There have been more signs of consistency from him recently though, hitting the target in all of his last 4 games, including v Brighton and Man City. Liverpool have only kept 2 clean sheets in 8 games and he will get chances on the break.

Liverpool’s key man in attack has already scored 24 goals across all competitions this season and 44 of his 105 shots have been on target. Salah has fired at least 2 shots on target in 14 different matches and in a home fixture as a huge favourite he can be expected to rack up multiple efforts on target.

Ipswich allow the 5th-most shots against in the Premier League and have just been hit hard by a Man City side who had 9 shots on target against them. Salah can test the goalkeeper at least twice.

Dutch international Cody Gakpo was rested to the bench against Lille in midweek and didn’t even come on the field for any minutes.

That suggests there is a big chance of him starting this game and it should be an ideal fixture against 1 of the worst teams in the Premier League.

Gakpo has kicked on this season scoring 12 goals across all competitions and he netted in 3 straight EPL games around the Christmas period. His last 2 starts have been v Forest and Brentford away, but this is a much easier assignment. He is a generous price to score anytime in a match where Liverpool could fill their boots.

It is worth doubling up on Morsy to commit multiple fouls in the game. It was mentioned in the previous bet builder how he averages exactly 2 fouls per 90 so this looks a big price at Anfield where he should come under significant pressure. For those feeling brave then you could even consider him to be carded.

Delap has scored 8 times this season in the Premier League and looks like a fearsome prospect for any defence with his strong physicality. Delap is on penalty-duty which is a huge attraction when backing him to score anytime.

1 safety net you can add with Delap is to back him to score or be shown a card though. He has picked up 7 cards in the Premier League this season and especially recently racking up 4 cards in his last 7 games.
