Bet Builder 1 - 0.5pts
Best odds of EVENS at Skybet while publishing.
1st Selection: Marc Guehi 1+ Fouls Won
Marc Guéhi averaged 1.25 fouls won per 90 last season and won at least one foul in each of his final eight games, showing excellent consistency for this line. He has also started this season with 1, 1, 1 and 2 fouls won in his four appearances.
Operating from the left centre-back position, Guéhi is comfortable carrying the ball forward and often attracts pressure from opposition attackers when progressing possession. With this being the Manchester derby, the intensity should be higher than usual, creating plenty of opportunities for Guéhi to draw contact when looking to move the ball out from defence.
2nd Selection: Enzo Fernandez 1+ Fouls Committed
This will be Enzo Fernández's first Manchester derby, and he will be eager to make an impression and get stuck into the midfield battle in front of the fans. He already committed 3 fouls against Porto in the Champions League in midweek, showing his willingness to be aggressive when pressing and challenging for possession.
Manchester United also have plenty of pace and attacking threat to utilise on the counter through Cunha, Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes and Rashford. If Chelsea commit players forward, Enzo could be forced into tactical or recovery challenges to stop United breaking into dangerous areas, giving him several opportunities to commit a foul.
3rd Selection: Enzo Fernandez 1+ Fouls Won
Enzo has been fouled 5 times across his opening two appearances for Manchester City, while he has won at least one foul in 22 consecutive Premier League appearances, stretching back to last season. That consistency makes the 1+ line particularly appealing.
He is comfortable driving forward with the ball and using his body to protect possession, which often attracts pressure from opposition midfielders. When opponents attempt to stop him progressing through midfield, Enzo is capable of drawing contact and winning fouls. With the intensity of the Manchester derby likely to produce plenty of physical battles in midfield, he should have opportunities to add to his impressive run.
