Joe Willock has been in fine fouling form this season, averaging 1.58 per 90 including at least 1 in 6 of his last 7 starts.

Most recently he slipped up twice despite clocking just 45 minutes off the bench against Brentford in the EFL Cup.

Ipswich, despite their troubles, are averaging 12.38 fouls drawn per 90 and away from home, Willock who hasn’t been a consistent starter for Newcastle, he would do well to avoid fouling at least once.

Tonali’s average of 2.43 fouls drawn per 90 minutes ranks him second only to Guimaraes amongst Newcastle players and he represents perhaps the best value in the market.

This selection has been a winner in each of Tonali’s last 11 appearances for club and country.

He’s likely to come up against Sam Morsy who averages 1.88 fouls per 90 minutes and has sinned at least once in each of his last 6, accumulating 12 in total over that period.

Backing Tonali to fire off at least 1 shot is a smart option.

He’s averaged 1.33 per 90 with this selection coming home in 6 of his last 7 starts across all competitions. Most recently he bagged a brace against Brentford, hitting the target with 2 of his 5 shots.

He should have ample opportunities against Ipswich who’ve conceded 242 shots already this season – an average of over 15 per game.

Newcastle’s possession-orientated approach has led to them racking up the 7th most corners in the league. They’re averaging 5.88 per game and have won at least 4 in each of their last 11.

Unsurprisingly, Ipswich pale in comparison, averaging 4.88 per league game. Significantly, they also average a remarkable 6.94 corners conceded, indicating their style of play should ensure Newcastle rack them up.

Despite Newcastle’s inconsistencies of late, this should be a relatively simple test for the Magpies who should be confident following their 4-0 hammering of Leicester and 3-1 victory against Brentford in the Carabao Cup.

Ipswich are yet to record a victory in front of their fans and have picked up just 12 points across the season. They’ve lost 3 of the last 4 and 6 of the last 10.

No Newcastle player has drawn more fouls than Bruno Guimaraes to date with the tricky Brazillian averaging 3.73 won per 90 minutes.

This selection has been a winner in 11 of his 16 league starts and given the dominance Newcastle are expected to display, this selection looks fantastic value.

He’s likely to come up against Sam Morsy who’s one of Ipswich’s most frequent offenders, averaging 1.88 fouls per 90.

Ipswich has accumulated 41 yellow cards to date, ranking them joint-3rd in the league, only trailing Chelsea and Southampton. Their opponents average only 1.62 cards per game – compared to the 2.62 Ipswich rack up.

Newcastle’s modest total of 36 cards puts them 12th in the league in this metric, averaging 2.25 per 90. This total could even be inflated given only Brentford and Man City average more fouls per game than Newcastle.

Not known for their defensive acumen, it’d hardly be a surprise if Arijanet Muric is forced into making a fair few saves, certainly if Ipswich’s form is anything to go by.

Ipswich’s stopper has had to make a minimum of 4 saves in 8 of his last 10 games totalling 45 in that run.

Newcastle put 4 past Leicester last time out and have racked up a whopping 20 shots on target across their last 3 games.
