Beier was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the summer and will get to test himself against Premier League opposition here as Dortmund take on Manchester City.

Beier has committed four fouls across his three appearances in the Champions League this term (2.24 per 90) with Beier committing two fouls in Dortmund’s most recent assignment against Copenhagen. He played as one of the supporting number 10s behind Guirassy on that occasion and is expected to take on that role again here.

Beier came off the bench in Dortmund’s 4-1 win over Athletic Club in the Champions League and committed two fouls in just 27 minutes of action, also picking up a yellow card for these infringements. He’s also already received a yellow card in the Bundesliga across his six starts in the division, committing seven fouls across these matches (1.27 per 90).

Beier’s promising foul record is supported by the fact he’s likely to be up against Nico Gonzalez here. Gonzalez has really improved in a City shirt this season and regularly finds himself contesting duels in Beier’s area of the pitch. Gonzalez has won eight fouls across his five Premier League starts this term (1.29 per 90). 

Beier could also find himself contesting duels against the likes of Foden (1.30 fouls won per 90) and Cherki (1.10 fouls won per 90) who were sensational in City’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth last time out.

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