Bellingham averages 1 foul committed per 90 in the league this season.

Ao Tanaka is likely to be his direct opponent, a player who is involved in plenty of duels during a game, and actually wins more fouls than he gives away, at 1.6 per 90.

Sunderland’s newest playmaker Enzo Le Fee has been starting off the left hand side. He’s already formed an effective attacking threat with left back, who exploits the space Le Fee makes cutting inside by making overlapping runs.

Le Fee has been fouled 7 times in 6 starts, whilst Cirkin is fouled 1.7 times per 90.

Leeds only average 1.3 cards per home game in the league this season, however their card output tends to increase against better opposition.

They have played 7 games against the other sides currently in the top 6, and have picked up 2+ cards on 6 out of 7 occasions.

Sunderland average 2.3 cards per 90 in league frames away from home this season, so that is a good start for what is required from this bet.

They have covered this bet in 7 of their last 8 away games, the only failure coming away at Derby who are probably the worst team in the league at the moment.

Leeds have picked up 41 points from a possible 48 at Elland Road in the Championship this season, the best record in the league.

They have only failed to win 3 times, 2 of those coming in the first 5 games of the season when the team were still gelling, and the other a last minute equaliser by Blackburn, who themselves are in the top 6.

This bet is not a reflection on Sunderland who are a good attacking side, but Leeds have been incredibly defensively this season, which has been lost a little given Burnley’s exploits.

That have only conceded 7 goals in total, 3 of which came on the opening day of the season. They are facing just 1.5 shots on target per game.

James is in incredible form for Daniel Farke’s side, with 8 goals or assists in his last 5 league games.

He has the highest combined expected goals and expected assists of any Leeds player this season, finding the net an impressive 10 times.

He has always possessed lightning pace, but this season has finally seen him produce an end product consistently. His form is keeping Willy Gnonto out of the side, which you wouldn’t have expected at the start of the season.

Bellingham will be part of the defensive unit tasked with keeping a rampant Leeds at bay, usually operating as one of the two midfielder in a double pivot.

He has picked up more yellow cards than any Sunderland player with a total of 8, with 7 of the yellows plus a red coming away from home.

As per bet builder 1, we know he averages 1 foul per game, so he should give the referee a decision to make at some point.
