The Leeds right back has been no stranger to seeing a free kick awarded against him this season, committing 1.7 fouls per 90 in the Championship.

He has committed 9 fouls during his last 5 starts, with at least 1 in each game. The fouls often come when he is retreating back to stop a counter-attack, due to the high positions he takes up on the right hand side.

Tanaka is the disrupter in the centre of Leeds’ midfield, taking on the role vacated since Ilia Gruev’s injury earlier in the campaign.

Tanaka commits on average 1.8 fouls per 90, with 12 fouls in his side’s last 5 matches, with at least one in each of them. He will have the duty of breaking up any Rams counter-attacks.

The young Italian attacker is playing below his level in my opinion, easily possessing the ability to play in the Premier League.

Gnonto has taken 14 shots in Leeds’ last five home games, having 1 or more shots on target in 4 out of the 5. In his last 4 starts, he has also taken 14 shots, with at least 1 shot on target in 3 out of the 4.

Piroe is Leeds’ top goalscorer in the Championship this season with 7 goals, placing him 4th in the overall race for the golden boot.

He has had a shot on target in Leeds’ last 3 home games, scoring in each of them. Confidence must be high for the Dutchman, and he can continue hitting the target here.

Leeds have to be a strong favourite for this one, having won 7 of their 9 home games so far this season, only dropping points to Portsmouth on opening day, and to 2nd-placed Burnley.

The xG data has them as the best side in the league, despite the table not quite showing that at the moment.

Derby have only picked up 6 points on the road this season. They have lost against 4 of the top 8 already. The sides they have picked up points against are 10th, 16th, 17th and 18th in the table.

Leeds have kept 6 clean sheets from their 9 home games, only conceding against Burnley and Watford, who are in the top 6, and Portsmouth in a strange game on opening day which doesn’t seem in keeping with the rest of the season.

Derby have actually scored in 7 of their 9 away games, but failed to score against the two sides with a similar or better defensive record to Leeds in Sheffield United and Sunderland.

As touched on in bet builder 1, Tanaka averages close to 2+ fouls per 90, with 1.8 so far this season. Over the last five games, this average has crept up to 2.4 per 90, and would have landed in 4 of Leeds’ last 5 games.

Ben Osborn could be in opposition in midfield, he has drawn 6 cards so far this season, so he could be a prime target for a foul.

This is another upping of the ante from bet builder 1, having tipped Yates for 1+ foul. He has averaged 1.6 fouls per 90 over the course of the season, but that has increased to 2.1 per 90 over his last 4 starts.

Leeds’ back four draw a lot of fouls. Over the last 5 home games, Struijk (8), Rodon (5) and Bogle (4) have all been targeted by opposition players.
