Bogarde has quietly been impressive for Aston Villa in his recent breakthrough into the side, the 21 year old is quite versatile and we’ve previously seen him as a right back but recent appearances have been in central midfield with Aston Villa still a bit light in that area of the pitch due to injuries.

Bogarde has won 9 fouls across his 5 Premier League appearances this season (2.31 per 90), this is quite a small sample size but when looking at some of his other metrics in different competitions and in previous seasons, it remains around this mark. Bogarde averaged 2.26 fouls won per 90 across his 14 appearances in League One last season and 1.78 fouls won per 90 across his 2 appearances in the EFL Cup this campaign.

There is a slight bit of value here when backing this selection with PaddyPower who are bettering the price offered on other bookmakers which is around 1.3 for this market. Super Sub could also be a important factor here, Bogarde could be replaced by Kamara (1.74 fouls won per 90) or Amadou Onana (1.33 fouls won per 90).

In the absence of James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski is expected to line up in midfield for Tottenham which would pit the Swede directly against Bogarde. Kulusevski has committed 33 fouls across his 24 Premier League appearances this season (1.52 per 90) and committed 1 foul from 14 duels in the league meeting between these sides. Both sides committed 14 fouls each in that encounter so expect a similarly feisty encounter here with Bogarde well positioned to be fouled at least once.
