Football Accumulator Tips: Five players to give away a foul in Saturday's top-flight acca

The International break is over and the Premier League returns on Saturday with seven games being played between 12:30pm and 5:30pm. Here at BettingOdds.com, we’ve combined our favourite fancies into a top-flight acca for the 3pm kick-offs.

Player foul markets continue to increase in popularity with punters and we’ve picked out a player from each of the 3pm kick-offs on Saturday to clear the 1+ foul line with Paddy Power.

The first of those is William Saliba, whose Arsenal side take on Leeds United at The Emirates as The Gunners continue their quest towards the title. The central defender may only average 0.7 fouls per game this season, but when looking at just home matches that figure rises to 1.1 per game. In 11 of his 13 home league matches this season, Saliba has given away at least one foul and is the first in this quintet to make our acca here. 

Next up we are off to the South Coast where Bournemouth take on Fulham. Antonee Robinson is the man on our radar to commit 1+ fouls. The Fulham left-back averages bang on 1 foul per game this season, but his totals in his last six league outings read 1,2,2,3,1,2. 

Ricardo Pereira is the next player on our list as Leicester travel to the capital to take on Crystal Palace. Wilfried Zaha is the most fouled player in the league this season, drawing on average three per game. Pereira may not have been a regular starter for the Foxes this term, but he should be the man tasked with keeping Zaha quiet. Looking back at some of the Portuguese defender’s foul figures in recent years, he has averaged over one per game in seven of the last eight seasons. 

Brighton are flying this under Roberto de Zerbi and Solly March has been one of their key players in this progressive campaign for the Seagulls who face Brentford at home this weekend. 

The midfielder ranks second for total fouls for Brighton, with an average of 1.4 per game. However, when looking at just home matches that figure rises to 1.8 per game. March has committed 2+ fouls in nine of his 13 matches at the Amex this term and has cleared the 1+ line in 12 of those 13. 

The final selection in this 8/1 poke is for Nottingham Forest’s Brazilian centre-back Felipe to give away a foul. He may have only made six appearances since his arrival in January but the defender has conceded at least one foul in four of those. His most recent outing saw him give two fouls away against Newcastle and with this such a big game for Steve Cooper’s side as they look to move away from the relegation zone, we think we’ll see plenty of fouls in a lively contest at the City Ground.
