Matthew O'Regan has put together expert bet builder tips for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final between Brighton and Nottingham Forest.
Here is a bit more analysis on each part of the bet builders.
Yankuba Minteh Tackles
Yankuba Minteh has become a mainstay on the right wing in recent weeks since his move from Newcastle amidst PSR concerns. The 20-year-old not only possess electrifying pace, skill and composure, he is also extremely hard working - making him a perfect addition to Brighton’s side.
In his last nine starts, Minteh has had three tackles six times and at least four times. With the higher line (over 3.5 tackles), we have the protection of super sub. Solly March is averaging 2.25 tackles per 90, while Gruda is averaging 1.85 - making three off the bench against Manchester City in seven minutes.
Morgan Gibbs-White Shots
Morgan Gibbs-White is undoubtedly Nottingham Forest’s crown jewel, earning himself an England call-up for Thomas Tuchel’s first squad in charge.
The 25-year-old didn’t feature at all so should be well rested. With Forest expected to sit deep and counter attack, his driving power could be crucial. Gibbs-White is averaging 1.90 shots per 90, scoring and registering three in the last game and a shot on target before being sent off in the 83rd minute.
Pervis Estupinan Shots
Pervis Estupinan averaged 0.88 shots per 90 in his first two seasons at the club. This campaign he is averaging 0.80 shots per 90 but comes into this game full of confidence after scoring in the 2-2 draw at Manchester City.
The Ecuadorian’s free kick was expertly placed - a strike that will maintain he is on free kicks for the rest of the season. Estupinan also hangs on the edge of the box from set pieces, so is likely to let rip should the ball fall to him from a clearances.
Elliot Anderson Card
Elliot Anderson, like Yankuba Minteh, was sold to ease financial worries for Newcastle. The 22-year-old has been outstanding in central midfield, combining ball carrying with defensive tenacity.
Anderson is averaging 1.49 fouls and 0.27 yellows per 90. With Georginio Rutter, Joao Pedro and Carlos Baleba driving through midfield, 27 centre midfielders have been booked against Brighton this season.
Peter Bankes is averaging over four cards a game and could be forced to show some yellows in a massive game for both clubs in their pursuit of a major trophy.
