We start in the cards markets and other than the ubiquitous Granit Xhaka, it's Newcastle who are in the main shorter priced to be carded here. Newcastle have picked up 79 yellows compared to Arsenal's 57 in the Premier League. Arsenal picked up their fourth red card of the season against Spurs on Thursday and Mikel Arteta will be a little bit concerned about the discipline of some of his players.
Xhaka is as short as 7/4 to be carded here and I wouldn't put anyone off backing that, having picked up nine this season and one last time out against Spurs. However, its Joelinton who I'll be targeting here. The 25-year-old Brazilian has been a revelation this season under Eddie Howe who has converted him into a centre-midfield role. He will be up against the brilliant Bukayo Saka here, who was responsible for getting Ben Davies booked on Thursday - a selection we tipped up in this very article.
Joelinton has eight cautions this season and has more than double as many fouls as the next Newcastle player. The 7/2 on offer at Paddy Power looks on the long side.


Next up we move into the goals and shots markets, I've targeted two players in these markets who I fancy to register a shot on target.
Newcastle's season was transformed with the signing of another Brazilian - Bruno Guimarães. The 24-year-old started his Premier League career like a house on fire, registering four goals in nine starts, with 19 shots and nine shots on target. He has cleared this line four times in his last five appearances.
Another man bang in form is Martin Ødegaard. The 23-year-old Norwegian has been the fulcrum of the team in midfield in recent months and has kept Emile Smith Rowe out of the starting line up. Ødegaard has six goals and his shot output in recent weeks has gone through the roof. He has registered 19 shots in his last eight games and seven of those have hit the mark. He has five shots on target in his last two appearances.
The three selections marked out above are just 7/2, 4/5 and 7/5 but utilising Paddy Power's bet builder feature gives us a boosted price of 15/1. You can load the bet directly using the link below.
