"Savinho’s average of 3.02 shots ranks amongst Man City’s best, and with Nottingham Forest struggling defensively in recent matches, backing the tricky winger to have at least two shots is a sensible choice. The Brazilian has fired off at least two shots in 14 of his last 15 league starts for Manchester City, only failing to do so against Liverpool, whose defence ranks second-best in the league. Forest’s backline has been incomparable to that of The Reds, conceding an average of 12.6 shots per game, rising to a remarkable 15.7 when considering their last seven clashes."

"Liam Delap is Ipswich’s only chance of staying in the Premier League this season, the 22-year-old has scored 10 goals in the English top-flight whilst averaging 1.06 shots on target per 90. This record has caught the eye of some of the elite sides in the Premier League and is particularly impressive when considering the limited number of opportunities Delap receives. Delap has had 2+ shots in four of his last five Premier League appearances. Ipswich have scored in each of their last five games across all competitions, further suggesting that the Tractor Boys will be able to carve out a few chances here. Delap had four shots with one finding the target in the initial meeting between the sides in which Ipswich had nine shots with two of these efforts finding the target."

"Eze has won 38 fouls across his 23 Premier League appearances this season (1.86 per 90). This positive fouls won record is a result of Eze’s silky dribbling ability which sees him drift past players with ease. He’ll be targeted by Ipswich who committed 14 fouls in the initial meeting between these sides at Portman Road, with Eze being on the end of two of those. Palace are quite consistent when it comes to winning fouls, the Eagles have drawn 10+ fouls from the opposition in each of their last five Premier League games which is a statistic that underlines just how often Oliver Glasner’s side are illegally thwarted. This matches up well with Ipswich’s fouls committed per game record in the Premier League this season (12.0 per game). Eze lines up on the left of a front three for Palace but often drifts inside which puts him up against Sam Morsy. Morsy has committed 38 fouls across his 24 appearances in the Premier League this season (1.73 per 90). Morsy committed four fouls in the initial meeting between these sides and has been cautioned in each of his last two appearances for the Tractor Boys."

"Our first pick for a card on Saturday afternoon is Fulham midfielder Sander Berge. It is usually midfield partner Sasa Lukic that ends up with his name in the referee’s notebook, but Berge has now been booked in each of his last two league starts, and in four of his last 10 in the Premier League. He has been racking up fouls at the highest rate since his summer move from Burnley, fouling 11 times in his last six league starts, with at least one foul in each of those six games. Across the season, Berge has averaged a solid, but unspectacular 1.29 fouls per 90, but that number has shot up as high as 1.95 fouls per 90 across his last six league matches. One of Berge’s four bookings this season came against Brighton in Fulham’s 3-1 win over Brighton at Craven Cottage back in December. He will be facing off against some strong foul-winners again here, so we expect the big Norwegian to be back in the firing line. Operating on the right of Fulham’s midfield two, Berge will be up against Brighton’s Georginio Rutter and Carlos Baleba, who win 2.40 and 1.68 fouls per 90 respectively. Rutter did not feature in the last meeting of these two sides, but it was Joao Pedro, playing in Rutter’s #10 role, that won the foul that saw Berge pick up his booking."

"Collins has committed 20 fouls across his 27 Premier League appearances this season (0.74 per 90) which is a record that includes committing a foul in each of his last five Premier League appearances. He’ll be lining up against Ollie Watkins who causes opposition centre backs plenty of problems with his clever movement and speed, Watkins is averaging 1.23 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this season. Brentford don’t tend to commit many fouls (7.8 per game) but could be set to see an increase here based on the initial meeting at Villa Park between these sides. Thomas Frank’s men committed 15 fouls in the game, with Collins taking the blame for two of these infringements and the 23-year-old also picking up a yellow card. This increase in foul numbers for Brentford in that matchup lines up well with Villa’s ability to win fouls, Unai Emery’s side have won 371 fouls across their 28 Premier League games this season (13.25 per game). This record suggests that Villa will prompt an increase in Brentford’s foul numbers again here with the battle between Watkins and Collins to take centre stage at the Gtech Community Stadium."

"Yoane Wissa is Brentford’s most frequent shooter, averaging 2.5 attempts per game, and 1.3 shots on target to the same measure. At home, Brentford tend to create plenty of chances, and with Aston Villa struggling defensively, this looks like a great spot for Wissa to capitalise on. Villa have conceded 10 goals in their last five matches, allowing just under six shots on target per game in that stretch. If their defensive vulnerabilities continue, Wissa looks like the prime candidate to exploit this weakness and will likely test the keeper multiple times."

"Since arriving in January, Asensio has quickly made his mark at Aston Villa, showcasing sharp attacking instincts and an eye for goal. Across his first four Premier League appearances, he has scored twice while averaging 1.3 shots on target per 90 minutes. He’s also scored two goals in two FA cup games and despite playing only 26 minutes in Tuesday’s Champions League match due to a minor knock, he still managed to score, from the spot, and test the goalkeeper twice, highlighting his threat in front of goal. With Brentford conceding an average of 5.93 shots on target per game, Asensio is well positioned to register at least one effort on target."

"Beto’s influence in Everton’s attack is growing, and he has become their primary goal threat in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The striker averages 2.87 shots per 90 minutes, with an impressive 1.69 on target, and has hit two or more shots on target in five of his last six matches, scoring five times in that span. His recent form suggests he is a strong candidate to continue testing Wolves’ goalkeeper."

"Conversely, Wolves defender Santiago Bueno will likely be tasked with stopping Beto, a matchup that could see the Uruguayan centre back commit at least one foul. Bueno averages 1.52 fouls per 90 minutes and has committed at least one foul in 16 of his last 18 starts, including each of his last five."
