Football Accumulator Tips: 7/1 Bet Builder for Sunday's top-flight action

Four Premier League games take place on Sunday in the English top-flight, with Newcastle against Aston Villa and Leicester against West Ham being the live offerings from Sky Sports. 

Once again @AnthonyEadson is on hand to provide us with his best Bet Builder tips for Sunday’s action and this week he’s chosen a little double from bet365. At the time of writing the two selections pay just over 7/1 when combined. 

My bet builder double for Sunday very much focuses around one player in a certain Allan Saint-Maximin and the threat he poses. One of the most exciting players to watch in the league, I’m kicking off this double with the Newcastle man to have one or more shots on target in the game. 

No player in the Newcastle squad has taken more shots than Saint-Maximin this season, letting off 45 attempts, 19 of which have hit the target. That’s 17 more shots than any other player with Joelinton second on the list with 28.

In recent weeks Allan Saint-Maximin has been in good form when it comes to hitting the target, registering two against Everton in the 3-1 victory last Wednesday. This season ASM has averaged 0.86 shots on target per game however, since Eddie Howe’s arrival the Frenchman has been really upping his output, hitting the target eight times in his last five in all competitions.. This selection has landed in nine of his last eleven starts and after Newcastle hit 20 shots against Everton, I’m expecting another strong showing from the Magpies. 

Paired with Saint-Maximin to have a shot on target is Aston Villa’s Matty Cash to be carded. Available at 15/4 as a single, right-back Cash may well have to deal with the explosive pace and trickery of Allan Saint-Maximin as his direct opponent. 

It’s unsurprising that the former Nice and Monaco man is the most fouled player at Newcastle this season, drawing 1.5 per game on average. Cash could well be in for a long afternoon and I think he looks a really good price here to find his way into the book considering he’s already picked up six yellow cards in just 22 appearances. 

No player in Steven Gerrard’s squad has more than six cautions in the 2021/2022 campaign and the referee in charge of this game will be Craig Pawson. The official ranked fourth of 19 last season when it came to yellow cards with an average of 3.43 per game. This season that figure has risen to 4.00 per game and I’m hoping we’ll see a good few on Sunday, with Matty Cash being one of them.

Good luck to anyone following the selections this weekend. Please gamble responsibly.
