In the absence of Anthony Gordon after the winger was sent off in the FA Cup ago why Brighton, Barnes stands out as a player that can register a few shots on goal in this Carabao Cup final.

Gordon will undoubtedly be a big miss but Newcastle have a ready made replacement in Harvey Barnes. Eddie Howe was experimenting with both Gordon and Barnes in the side earlier in the season but the balance wasn’t quite right, now Barnes gets the opportunity to line up in his preferred position off the left and his shot numbers have been strong this season.

Barnes has had 33 shots across his 23 Premier League appearances this season, just seven of these have been starts taking his average to 3.30 shots per 90, a promising record. He lived up to this average in his most recent outing against West Ham in which he had four shots, two of which found the target as well as picking up an assist for Newcastle’s winner.

There is real value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the same market is priced around 1.5 on other bookmakers suggesting the 1.83 offered here is a decent price given Barnes’ shot record in the Premier League this season.
