Alvaro Carreras has emerged as a reliable option for Real Madrid from left back and his foul numbers stand out to me in this clash. He committed two fouls on Matchday 1 against Marseille, contesting 11 duels in total and also being fouled twice.

He was up against Mason Greenwood on that occasion and will now face up against Mohamed Salah and the forward thinking Conor Bradley here. Salah has won nine fouls across his 10 Premier League appearances this season (0.91 per 90), winning a further two fouls in the Champions League (1.34 per 90).

Salah should also have some confidence back having scored in each of his last two matches against Brentford and Aston Villa. Notably, he completed more dribbles than any other player against Aston Villa (5), winning two fouls in the process. 

He’ll be supported by Bradley who has had some issues defensively since breaking into the Liverpool side, but is very effective when marauding forward to support Salah. He’s won nine fouls across his eight Premier League appearances this term (1.80 per 90). 

Arne Slot may decide to opt for Dominik Szoboszlai at right back here in a bid to fix Liverpool's issues in the fullback areas and get Florian Wirtz in the team. Szoboszlai has won seven fouls across his 10 Premier League appearances this term (0.70 per 90) and can also contribute to drawing a foul from Carreras should he line up at right back.

There is real value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same selection is priced as low as 1.29 with other major bookmakers.
