SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of West Ham's FA Cup third-round clash with Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
West Ham vs Leeds (Sunday, 14:00)
An all-Premier League FA Cup third-round tie takes place at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as West Ham lock horns with Leeds.
I've covered this clash in more detail in a separate match preview, but I've since identified another Bet Builder that makes appeal.
It's a case of rinse and repeat with my selection of each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points, which has been chalked up at an eye-catching 6/5 ( SkyBet).
Granted, both managers are likely to rotate their teams this weekend, but these two clubs are renowned for their forward-thinking styles and that should lead to an entertaining encounter between the pair.
Hosts West Ham are averaging a healthy 5.65 corners per-game in the Premier League season, a tally that increases ever so slightly to 5.78 when the Hammers are operating at their capital headquarters.
Meanwhile, Leeds have generally been strong corner performers under Marcelo Bielsa's stewardship, with the attack-minded Whites averaging a shade under five flagkicks per 90 in the top flight this term to date.
To round off the Bet Builder I'm going with each team to receive 10+ booking points in what should be a closely-fought cup tie in front of the TV cameras.
Leeds, who have been handed a bumper allocation of tickets in East London on Sunday, are averaging a Premier League-high 2.68 cards per- game this season, while West Ham have collected at least one caution in 15 of their last 17 domestic fixtures.
Stuart Attwell oversees this third-round affair and is traditionally one of the top-tiers more card-happy operators, awarding both teams a minimum of 10 booking points in 28 of his last 34 Premier League outings.
It's also worth noting that the aforementioned combination has clicked in each of the last three meetings between the sides over the last 13 months and that only adds to the appeal of siding with the same 6/5 (SkyBet) formula on Sunday.
