23/10 Betbuilder Double
Fulham v Aston Villa
19:30 BST
@ Craven Cottage
Fulham 2/1, Draw 23/10, Aston Villa 13/10
Mitrovic to have 1+ Shot on Target, Aston Villa to have 2+ Yellow Cards - 10/11
With Mitrovic heading into this game with the same number of goals scored (7) as the Aston Villa have combined, Fulham will be hoping that their star man can maintain his goalscoring form. With an average of 1.70 shots on target per game my first selection is for Mitrovic to have 1+ Sot.
With goals being a problem for Aston Villa, yellow cards certainly haven't been. 23 so far this campaign (2.30 per game), and with Michael Oliver averaging 3.25 yellows per game, I expect Villa to be on the receiving end of a few bookings v Fulham. My second selection for this game being Aston Villa to have 2 or more yellow cards.
Leicester v Leeds
20:15
@ King Power Stadium
Leicester 6/5, Draw 12/5, Leeds 21/10
Over 2.5 Goals, Barnes to have 1+ Shot on Target - 6/4
With just one win so far this season, Brendan Rodgers will be feeling the pressure as his side host an out of form Leeds side. A bottom of the table clash was something neither side expected at the start of the season, but this is hopefully the moment in which either side can kick start their campaign.
With Leicester conceding an average of 2.4 goals per game and Leeds letting in an average of 1.40 goals, my first selection is for over 2.5 match goals. Although neither side has been prolific in front of goal, I expect goals to be scored due to the weaknesses both sides have shown at the back.
Sadly James Maddison misses this game, and with 5 goals, 29 shots and 11 on target this season, Leicester will have to look elsewhere for both goals and chances this game. Harvey Barnes was the stand out player in a dull 0-0 draw v Palace last time out, and I expect him to step up with the absent James Maddison. 2.88 shots per game, of which 1.09 find the target, are the reasons why I will be backing Barnes to have 1 or more shot on target as my second selection
The betbuilder double comes in around 7/2
