We've picked out three card betting tips for today's Premier League clash between Liverpool and Man City.
Liverpool v Man CitySee All Odds
Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield (16:30 BST) in one of the most competitive fixtures on the Premier League calendar, with pressure, pace and a lot of individual duels across the pitch.
That makes the cards market an attractive place to look, and the appointment of Chris Kavanagh adds to the appeal, with the referee averaging 4.47 yellow cards per game across his career.
TIP 1: Ronald Araujo - To Be Shown A Card
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 27/10
Ronald Araujo looks a strong card angle in a game that is likely to test Liverpool's defence from the first whistle. He has been booked twice this season, with both bookings coming at home, and he has a reputation for losing his composure in big games, which is a concern for Liverpool when City are likely to ask plenty of questions.
This is also his first major fixture in a Liverpool shirt, and with the pressure on and City's attackers running at him throughout the afternoon, he has a clear path into the referee's notebook. At 27/10, he looks a fair price to be booked.
TIP 2: Alexis Mac Allister - To Be Shown A Card
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 13/5
Alexis Mac Allister looks a live card option in a midfield battle that is likely to be physical. His fouls committed in his last eight starts for Liverpool read 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 0 and 5, and he has been booked in four of those games, a rate of one in two that underlines how often his challenges end up in the book.
He also averages 1.93 fouls committed per 90 minutes this season, a steady figure for a central midfielder who is regularly asked to disrupt City's rhythm and win the ball back quickly. Against a side that keeps possession and probes for gaps, he is likely to be in the thick of the action, and 13/5 looks a fair price for him to go into the book.
TIP 3: Josko Gvardiol - To Be Shown A Card
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 3/1
Josko Gvardiol is a strong card candidate based on his recent record on the road. He has been booked in three of the four away games this season in all competitions, including the Community Shield final, which shows how often he has been forced into a booking when City are playing away from home.
His fouls committed across his last seven starts read 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 2, so the case rests on matchup and recent card frequency rather than a heavy foul count. The matchup could be awkward for him, with the pace of Barcola and Muñoz in the Liverpool attack, and if either of them gets the better of him, a tactical foul or a late challenge could easily result in a booking. At 3/1, he looks a good price to be shown a card.
