After delivering yet another winner on Saturday, SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Aston Villa's Sunday night tussle with Tottenham.
Aston Villa vs Tottenham (Sunday, 19:30)
Tottenham's season is in tatters following their humbling Europa League exit on Thursday and they must swiftly lift themselves for this weekend's trip to Aston Villa.
I've already penned a separate match preview for this Sunday night showdown which can be found here, however, I've since constructed another Bet Builder that makes appeal.
If we combine over zero Tottenham goals, over one Aston Villa corner and each team to receive a card we will be presented with a nice looking 5/6 (Bet 365) shot.
Indeed, Tottenham have endured a turbulent week, but they do remain only six points off a top-four position and a Villa Park victory could potentially propel Jose Mourinho's side up to fifth-place in the standings.
Mourinho will demand a response from his players and I suspect the beleaguered Spurs boss will belatedly release the shackles on Sunday.
The Portuguese has some serious firepower at his disposal and I fancy Spurs to strike here against an Aston Villa side who have conceded in recent match-ups against both relegation-threatened Newcastle and Sheffield United.
In order to boost up the price, I'll also back Aston Villa to hit over one corner during this contest – Dean Smith's side are averaging 5.88 corners per game this season, a figure that increases to a lofty 6.75 when playing at their west Midlands base.
I'll complete the Bet Builder by backing each team to receive at least one card in what should be a closely-fought contest, not to mention both sides are averaging over 1.5 cards per game this season.
It's also worth noting that card-happy Mike Dean will take charge of this tussle, with the Wirral-born whistler showing each team a card in 11 of his last 12 Premier League assignments.
What's more, the above-mentioned combination has clicked in four of Spurs' last five Premier League matches and I'm happy to proceed with the same formula at Villa Park on Sunday night.
