Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Matty Cash 1+ Shot

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 9/10 BetVictor

Liverpool will require a defensive reshuffle ahead of Super Sunday’s showdown with Aston Villa.

Virgil van Dijk’s suspension, coupled with major doubts surrounding centre-half partner Ibrahima Konate’s participation, weakens an already fragile rearguard that’s allowed the sixth-most Big Chances in the Premier League thus far.

With Aston Villa relishing the underdog role under Unai Emery, I’m expecting the visitors to be competitive at Anfield, and produce plenty in the final-third.

Villa switched to a three-man defence last weekend, bringing Pau Torres and Diego Carlos into the heart of the rearguard alongside Enzi Konsa. That move allows Matty Cash and Lucas Digne opportunity to maraud forward with the former firing in six attempts, two of which found the back of the net in an emphatic win at Burnley.

Cash to land just a single attempt at goal on Sunday pays an attractive 9/10 (1.90) with BetVictor.

Crystal Palace vs Wolves

Mario Lemina At Least 1 Shot 

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 8/11 Paddy Power/Betfair

Mario Lemina enhanced his impressive shooting stats last weekend as the Gabonese ace attempted three efforts at goal in Wolves’ 1-0 win at Everton.

The all-action midfielder has now taken at least two shots in each of his opening three encounters, and so the 8/11 (1.73) from Betfair/Paddy Power on the 29-year-old hitting 1+ shot stands out.

Wolves have been surprisingly front-foot under Gary O’Neill, averaging 1.86 Expected Goals (xG) and 16.67 shots per-game following fixtures with Manchester United, Brighton and Everton, suggesting they should be well-capable of making their mark against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Brighton vs Newcastle

Bruno Guimaraes 2+ Fouls

Advised Bet: 1pt @ Evens Paddy Power/Betfair

Newcastle’s trip to Brighton promises plenty on Saturday evening. Both sides are coming into this contest off the back of disappointing defeats with the two clubs also boasting realistic aspiration of repeating their 2022/23 top-six efforts.

Only Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have committed more fouls than Newcastle in the opening three weeks with one of the chief protagonists being Brazilian central midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The Toon star has committed three fouls or more in two of his opening three tussles, racking up eight misdemeanours already. 

Against a free-flowing Brighton side, I would expect a similar total from the 25-year-old, who covered this line in 10 of 16 away trips last term. Bruno Guimaraes is evens (2.00) to commit two or more fouls at the Amex with Betfair/Paddy Power.
