One interesting Premier League statistic this season is that Man United concede an average of 16.40 shots per game which is the fourth most of any team! Only the likes of Sheffield United and Luton rank worse. They are the sort of team who have given up too many big chances and shots this season.

Everton can take advantage of this and the 1.44 price on offer that they have four or more shots on target looks big. Everton do not score enough goals but they have no problems actually firing attempts. They average nearly 14 shots per game and it will probably be the same old hard luck story that they don’t convert their metrics into goals.

Marcus Rashford scored a fantastic goal last week vs Man City which should get his tail up. He’s very much a confidence player and he will probably kick on this week now. Wherever he lines up in the team then we can expect Rashford to be hungry. He’s 1.33 just to have three or more shots which looks very likely against a team like Everton. He averages around two shots per game with around 50% on target so the preferred option is to take Rashford to have one or more SOT at 1.36. He could test Jordan Pickford on at least one occasion.

Beto came into the side last week and made an immediate difference. He had 5 shots with 4 of them on target, including a missed penalty. Sean Dyche stayed faithful with him though and was rewarded when Beto scored in the second half. It’s an away trip to Old Trafford but he’s probably done enough to stay in the side and his confidence should be up. He is 1.22 just to have two or more shots which surely looks a safe bet builder addition for any starting striker in the Premier League.

Everton are a lethal team from set pieces. Everyone knows that Sean Dyche focuses on them a lot and he will be targeting success vs Man United. The Red Devils are the sort of team who could be vulnerable in such a fixture. One man who is often described as the most ‘dangerous’ player from set pieces for Everton is James Tarkovski. His positioning is excellent and he’s so strong in the air. At odds of 1.36 just to have one shot or more, it feels too generous. The Toffees’ centre back averages 0.70 shots per game in the Premier League and at some stage he will get at least a half opportunity even if it’s a difficult header.

Abdoulaye Doucoure averages two fouls per 90 mins so I think it’s fair to back him at 1.17 just to commit one offense here. He plays in an advanced midfield position and often operates in safer areas of the field. It won’t be too much of a problem if he gives away cheap free kicks and I would expect him to press some of the United defenders. For those after a bigger price then he’s 1.91 to have two or more fouls, but let’s go with the safe option here.

Bruno Fernandes can be quite a dirty player sometimes and averages 1.40 fouls per game in the Premier League this year. He can rack up the cards as well with something cynical or for dissent but the best option looks to be taking him in the fouls market. Bruno is a juicy 1.33 just to commit one or more fouls which looks excellent bet builder material. In front of his home crowd in an early lunchtime kick off he should be fired up and get stuck in.
