After landing a full-house at Craven Cottage on Monday, SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Manchester United's latest Premier League fixture with Leicester on Tuesday night.
Manchester United vs Leicester (Tuesday, 18:00)
Manchester United will be looking to maintain their momentum during what is a manic period of fixtures when they meet Leicester on Tuesday night.
This Premier League assignment will represent the Red Devils second outing in just over 48 hours, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side remain firmly in the driving seat to secure second place.
Leicester, meanwhile, saw the wheels begin to fall off their Champions League qualification hopes this time last season and recent results suggest that history could be about to repeat itself.
Indeed, Brendan Rodgers' side currently occupy fourth-place, but below-par performances against both Newcastle and Southampton respectively means that the Foxes are now looking nervously over their shoulder in the hunt for a top-four berth.
Given Man United's gruelling fixture schedule, coupled with Leicester's recent wobble, I'm going to swerve the match result market here and instead head to Bet 365‘s Bet Builder.
If we combine each team to see at least one card, over two match cards and over five match corners we can get some 5/6 (Bet 365) and that makes appeal.
Manchester United are averaging a joint league-high of 1.94 cards per home match this season, while Leicester are averaging 1.88 cards per 90 minutes when playing away from their King Power base this term.
In fact, both teams have seen at least one card in six of Man United's last seven Premier League matches at Old Trafford and I see no reason to oppose a repeat on Tuesday night.
What's more, we have a fairly strict referee here in Craig Pawson who averages 3.94 cards per game in the Premier League this season – the second-highest tally in the division.
It's also worth noting that the Sheffield-born whistler has flashed three or more cards in each of the last 11 Premier League matches that he has taken charge of.
In order to boost the price up to 5/6 (Bet 365), I'll throw over five match corners into the equation.
Both sides are averaging over five team corners per game this term, not to mention the above-mentioned Bet Builder has banked in each of Man United's last five Premier League matches.
