Ashley Young to be carded against Liverpool – 2/1 with bet365

Liverpool come into this game in good form, winning their 5 home games in all competitions this season, whilst Everton have been fairly strong away from home, winning 3 of their 5 away games in all competitions. One of Liverpool’s most fouled players is their left winger Luis Diaz. In Liverpool’s 8 games this season, an opposition right back facing Diaz has been booked 3 times. Everton right back Ashley Young has played his last 4 games at right back, being booked in 3 of the 4. As a former Manchester United player, Young is full of experience when it comes to derbies against Liverpool, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him get stuck in here. Referee Craig Pawson has the whistle, and he has given 26 bookings in 5 games this season, one of the highest averages.

 

Boubacar Traore to be carded against Bournemouth – 4/1 with bet365

Both of these sides currently sit in the bottom half of the table in what is a big game so early in the season. An opposition central midfielder has been booked in 6 of Bournemouth’s 8 games. Wolves central midfielder Boubacar Traore is likely to be given his first start of the season after Wolves midfielder Lemina was sent off in their last game. Traore has made 5 substitute appearances in the league this season, committing 8 fouls in 92 minutes (a foul every 11.5 minutes). Traore’s only starts have come in the League Cup, where he has made 5 fouls and received 1 booking in his 2 games. With Bournemouth looking for their first win, this is likely to be scrappy game where cards are expected to be handed out.

 

Carlos Baleba to be carded against Manchester City – 9/4 with bet365

Summer signing Carlos Baleba has made 1 start in the league for Brighton, committing 2 fouls and receiving a yellow card. Baleba has also made 1 start in the League Cup, committing 4 fouls in just 64 mins, again being booked. Baleba started just 5 games for Lille last season, making 7 fouls and being booked twice. In Manchester City’s 8 games in the league, they’ve come up against 20 central midfielders – 11 of these 20 have been booked. This average increases when at home, with both of Nottingham Forest’s central midfielders being booked away to City, 1 of Fulham’s 3, and all 3 of Newcastles. Baleba is likely to get stuck in, and it wouldn’t be a surprise for this trend of opposition central midfielders being booked against City to continue. The referee here is Robert Jones, someone that has given 37 yellow cards and 2 red cards in 7 Premier League games this season, booking all 3 Newcastle central midfielders in their trip to the Etihad.
