Thomas Cannon committed 33 fouls across his 29 starts for Sheffield United in the Championship last season (1.17 per 90). The attacking positions for Sheffield United are competitive with Tyrese Campbell, Louie Barry and promising young striker Ukaki all competing for a starting position. It’s still not exactly clear what formation Ruben Selles will go with, but with all these attacking options it’s pretty likely that we see a front two here which should be a partnership between Campbell and Cannon who tied on 10 goals in the Championship last season. 

Cannon will be lining up against what is likely to be a back three for Bristol City. There’s been a change in management over the summer with Gerhard Struber taking the place of Liam Manning who led Bristol to the playoffs last season. The side is still very much set up to play with three at the back with Bristol City getting a lot out of their wingbacks last season. This back three should mean that Cannon is regularly outnumbered when attempting to drag his side up the pitch. 

Cannon committed at least one foul in 18 of his 29 starts for Sheffield United last season (62%) and committed multiple fouls in 11 of these games (37%). Sheffield United finished third in the Championship last season but ranked seventh in the division for yellow cards (95 - 2.06 per game) and averaged 11.1 fouls committed per game. 

There is real value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the same bet is priced as low as 1.2 on comparable bookmakers.
