Igor Jesus has started both of Sean Dyche’s games in charge of Nottingham Forest, committing a foul in Forest’s Europa League clash with Porto and also picking up a yellow card on that occasion. He’s set to lead the line again here with Chris Wood still sidelined for a few more weeks with an injury.

Jesus is very eager to impress and can be over exuberant when hunting the ball back. This should be even more obvious here as Jesus will be outnumbered for the majority of the encounter with United lining up with a back three. 

Forest will naturally sit a bit deeper now that they are under the tutelage of Dyche so Jesus may be sent on a few dead rubber missions where he has to chase the ball down channels, leading to the Brazilian committing silly fouls.

Jesus has committed five fouls across his 191 minutes of Premier League football this season (2.36 per 90). He’s committed a further four fouls across his three appearances in the Europa League this season (1.57 per 90), putting him in the spotlight to commit a foul in this encounter. 

There is real value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same market is priced as low as 1.11 with other comparable bookmakers.
