Mo Salah isn’t a player renowned for foul play, however, Arne Slot’s emphasis on pressing in wide areas has increased his defensive workload this season enough to cause him to make 0.66 fouls per 90 in the Premier League. This bet would have won in 4 of his last 5 league starts including against Ipswich where Liverpool were completely dominant.

Wolves don’t draw huge foul numbers but 2 of their most fouled players play down their left-hand side in Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha. That pair have been fouled a combined 3.26 times per 90 so any mistimed tackles from Salah in the press will likely lead to them going down. The Egyptian has made a foul in both of his last 2 games against Wolves and is in good form to carry on that streak.

With Spurs injury crisis at the back, Djed Spence has had the opportunity to come back in from the cold and has taken his opportunity with both hands. His all-action displays have been commended by Spurs fans but he has made 1.25 fouls per 90 across all competitions and has a tough match-up here.

Even if Destiny Udogie is back, Spence is likely to start at left-back and this will put him in direct opposition with Patrick Dorgu who was fouled 2.69 times per 90 in Serie A and was duly fouled twice in 45 minutes on debut against Leicester in the FA Cup last week. There’s a chance Spence is moved to right back to give Pedro Porro a rest, however, his 3 fouls in this fixture in the EFL Cup when playing there show that he’s more than capable of 2 fouls at a lovely price.
