SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Burnley's clash with West Ham in the English Championship on Sunday.
Burnley vs West Ham (Sunday, 16:00)
Two teams who were Premier League foes last season will square off in the English Championship at Turf Moor on Sunday as Burnley play host to West Ham.
Having both been relegated from the top flight last term, the duo will be desperate to bounce back at the first attempt.
Given that West Ham are the outright favourites for the Championship title, it's no surprise to see them priced up as 5/4 favourites here.
However, I'm going to bypass the 1X2 market and instead turn my attention to a player-based selection that has caught my eye.
The angle of attack I am keen to lean on in Lancashire is taking Taty Castellanos to commit two or more fouls at a value 10/11 on bet365
West Ham will be hoping Castellanos can fire them back to the Premier League this term, with the forward's physicality and aggression standing out as key features of his game.
Indeed, across his 18 appearances for West Ham in the Premier League last season, Castellanos committed an average of 2.07 fouls per game.
Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the Argentine committed multiple fouls in each of his final three top-flight appearances last term.
That trend continued in the EFL Cup last weekend, with Castellanos being penalised on three separate occasions.
It should also be noted that the 26-year-old collected six cards across his 18 Premier League appearances last season, further highlighting his knack for falling foul of the match officials.
The likelihood of Castellanos coming up against Bashir Humphreys only strengthens this selection.
The Burnley defender was fouled on four occasions against Notts County last week, which only adds to the appeal of backing Castellanos to commit two or more fouls at Turf Moor.
