Morgan Gibbs-White - over 0.5 shots on target (Brighton vs Nottingham Forest)
Forest skipper Morgan Gibbs-White is tasked with providing a supporting role from midfield, though the schemer carries plenty of goal threat himself and is out on his own as the club’s leading marksman in the Premier League (6).
The 26-year-old has been averaging 2.23 shots and 0.67 shots on target per 90 minutes for Forest and Gibbs-White has also lodged at least one shot on target in five of his last six starts in all competitions. The England international had four attempts against Brighton in November’s reverse fixture, and he can threaten Albion again on Sunday.
Raul Jimenez - over 0.5 shots on target (Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur)
Mexican frontman Raul Jimenez has hit a rich vein of form for Fulham, as evidenced by his two-goal salvo against Sunderland last weekend. The 34-year-old has landed at least one shot on target in each of his last five starts for the Cottagers, and Jimenez looks sharp enough to test Tottenham keeper Vicario at least once on Sunday.
Injury-hit Spurs give up countless chances to their opponents and they allowed Arsenal to rack up ten attempts on target in last week’s North London Derby. Tottenham have conceded 20+ shots in each of their last three Premier League assignments, so Jimenez should have opportunities to let fly at Craven Cottage.
Jorgen Strand Larsen over 1.5 fouls (Manchester United vs Crystal Palace)
Crystal Palace raised eyebrows when they parted with £45m to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves in January, though the Norwegian targetman has already proven himself more than useful, and he should start again at Old Trafford on Sunday in the absence of the injured Jean-Philippe Mateta.
However, alongside being a nuisance from an attacking perspective, Strand Larsen has also brought aggression to the Eagles’ frontline. Incredibly, the 26-year-old committed at least two fouls in each of his first five appearances for Palace, and the striker’s knack for ruffling defenders’ feathers could land him in trouble again against United.
Declan Rice - over 1.5 fouls (Arsenal vs Chelsea)
Arsenal are undefeated in three (2W, 1D) previous meetings in league and cup with London rivals Chelsea this season, and alongside having the upper hand in terms of results, the Gunners also “out fouled” the Blues on each occasion.
Mikel Arteta’s side committed 41 fouls in total across those three encounters with Chelsea, with many of those conceded in midfield. Indeed, Declan Rice gave away two free kicks when the Gunners last played Chelsea on February 2nd, as the England international battled to control the territory occupied by aggressive Blues duo Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. The same skirmishes could produce sparks again on Sunday, so back Rice to commit 2+ fouls again.
