Joshua Zirkzee was handed his first Manchester United start in their 3-0 defeat against Liverpool. The striker has been brought in to add a different profile to their attack and we have singled him out as a player who should commit fouls here.
The Dutchman is tasked with dropping deeper to receive the ball. He also has the physical presence to engage in duels with opposition defenders. Zirkzee has made an average of 2.09 fouls per 90 minutes so far this season.
Manchester United matches have seen the joint most tackles in the league with an average of 46 per game. Their aggressive press means their players make plenty of tackles so we are backing both Noussair Mazraoui and Kobbie Mainoo to make at least three tackles here. Mazraoui is making an average of 4.14 tackles per 90 this season. Mainoo made three tackles in the defeat against Liverpool.
