James Ward-Prowse continues to be utilised as a defensive midfielder under Graham Potter and has now made 2 or more tackles in 3 of his last 5 away starts. Including his replacement for which Bet365 will pay out this bet, he’s covered this line in 7 of his last 11 appearances, and so he’s certainly been busy defensively.

Ward-Prowse will be up against Morsy, Cajuste and Enciso in a combative area of the pitch, and recent tackle data against Ipswich suggests that he’ll need to make plenty of tackles. Across the Tractor Boys' last 6 matches, 9 separate opposition central midfielders have made at least 2 tackles, with 6 of those managing 3 or more.

Aston Villa still being in contention for Champions League qualification should mean that they’re leaving it all on the pitch on Sunday and therefore flying into challenges. Matty Cash is no stranger to this, committing 1.34 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season. In his last 2 starts against Man Utd, the Poland international has committed 5 infringements, landing this bet in both of those. 

Cash is most likely to be directly up against Patrick Dorgu, who has drawn 2.81 fouls per 90 in a Red Devils shirt. The Danish wing-back is a master at drawing late challenges and has regularly seen his opposite number commit at least 2 fouls since his arrival at Old Trafford. With victory crucial for the Villans and an opponent who needs no encouragement to go down, Cash looks a great price for 2 late challenges. 

With Ange Postecoglou openly admitting he’ll be rotating his side in the Premier League in recent weeks, youngster Archie Gray has been given a chance in his most natural role in central midfield. This role saw him cover this line against both Crystal Palace and Fulham, and so we can ignore his modest average of 0.59 tackles per 90, with most of those minutes having been at centre back.

Brighton still need points to secure their highest ever Premier League finish, and so should be at full strength. The Seagulls are the division’s 4th most-tackled side, and with Gray up against Baleba and Ayari, he’ll be kept busy. Across Brighton’s last 9 games, opposition central midfielders have made a whopping 37 tackles with 15 separate players landing this bet, and so long as Gray starts in the middle, he looks a lovely price to do similar.
