Leg 1: Xavi Simons 2+ Fouls Won

Best odds of 8/11 at Skybet while publishing.

Xavi Simons has established himself as a highly reliable option in the fouls-won market. His close control and tendency to carry the ball into tight areas consistently draw pressure from opposition defenders. He is averaging 2.58 fouls won per 90 minutes this season, the highest figure of any Tottenham player.

Simons has won at least two fouls in ten consecutive appearances, excluding the Liverpool fixture in which he was sent off after just 33 minutes. The matchup against Manchester City further strengthens the case, as City’s aggressive and high-intensity pressing style should create repeated situations where Simons is forced into contact and fouled.

Leg 2: Antoine Semenyo 1+ Fouls Committed

Best odds of 1/4 at Skybet while publishing.

Antoine Semenyo is well suited to the fouls-committed market due to his physical and high-energy pressing approach. While effective in regaining possession, his aggressive style often leads to mistimed challenges. He is averaging 1.90 fouls committed per 90 minutes and has committed at least one foul in all four appearances for Manchester City since signing. Including his spell at Bournemouth, Semenyo has now committed a foul in ten of his last eleven starts, including a two-foul outing against Tottenham. With a demanding defensive role expected in this fixture, another foul looks likely.Bet Builder @ 4/1 (0.25pts):
