1st Selection: Xavi Simons 2+ Fouls Won
Xavi Simons has developed into one of the most dependable selections in the fouls won market. His sharp close control and willingness to carry the ball into congested areas consistently invite pressure from opposition defenders. This season he is averaging 2.57 fouls won per 90 minutes and has drawn at least two fouls in 12 consecutive appearances, excluding the fixture against Liverpool in which he was sent off after just 33 minutes.
Across his last 16 starts, Simons has recorded two or more fouls won in 15 of them, underlining a remarkable level of consistency. With the intensity of a North London Derby expected to be high against Arsenal, the likelihood of an aggressive press and sustained pressure should only increase his chances of being fouled multiple times. He is also likely to come up against Jurrien Timber and Martin Zubimendi, two of Arsenal’s most frequent foul offenders, which further strengthens the case for another productive outing in this market.
2nd Selection: Conor Gallagher 1+ Fouls
Conor Gallagher has made an immediate impact at Tottenham Hotspur since arriving in the January transfer window, bringing added intensity and physicality to the midfield. His game is built on energy and ball-winning, and his eagerness to regain possession often sees him committing fouls in the process.
He is currently averaging 1.95 fouls committed per 90 minutes, the highest figure in the Tottenham squad, and has registered 2, 2, 3, 1 and 2 fouls across his five appearances to date, including one outing as a substitute.
With the fierce rivalry against Arsenal adding further edge to proceedings, Gallagher is unlikely to shy away from the physical battle. Given his playing style and recent numbers, another two or more fouls on Sunday would be no surprise.
Selection 3: Arsenal Over 0 Goals
Arsenal have scored at least once in each of their last seven meetings with fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur, including a commanding 4-1 victory earlier this season.
The hosts head into this clash with notable defensive concerns. Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso and Destiny Udogie are ruled out, while Pedro Porro remains a major doubt, leaving Spurs light at the back. They have conceded in six of their last seven home matches, a trend that will encourage Mikel Arteta’s side, who have found the net in nine consecutive games across all competitions.
After a frustrating 2-2 draw with Wolves last time out, Arsenal will be determined to deliver a response. Given Tottenham’s defensive absentees and recent record at home, the visitors appear well placed to capitalise.
