Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest Foul Tips

We are looking at a fixture here which looked like it could be an interesting one. Both teams are eying Champions League football next year, something unimaginable a few years ago.

Both teams come into the game with in a good run of form. In their last fixtures, Villa pulled off an impressive 3-0 win over Brighton, whereas former Man United player, Anthony Elanga, scored in a 1-0 win for Forest.

Villa's talisman, Morgan Rogers, is a doubt with a late injury at Brighton, with Ross Barkley and Leon Bailey being the only other injury concerns.

Chris Wood is expected to still be out for this fixture with a hip issue. Outside of that Ola Aina will be out after an issue with his calf, and deputy Alex Moreno unable to play against his parent club.

The first bet looks at 2 tricky players. Tielemans has won 1.5 fouls on average across the Premier League this season, with him winning at least 1 in 17/20 games so far. Should be a good battle against a combative Forest midfield that commit their fair share of fouls.

Outside of that, we are looking at Elanga to win a foul as well. This guy is rapid, reaching Usain Bolt levels of speed. Will be a tough day keeping up with this man who has been fouled in 17/21 games this season. He's full of confidence and I expect him to play a big role here.

Tielemans 1+ Fouls Drawn
Elanga 1+ Fouls Drawn

For the longshot, we've gone for a bet builder here as the stats look pretty favourable. Kamara is another tricky player that wins 1.33 fouls a game and has won at least 1 in 10/13 starts. Elliot Anderson is similar to this winning 1.56 goals a game and at least 1 in his last 11 of his last 12 starts. Dominguez may seem like a rogue shout with him averaging 1 foul a game, but has hit at least 2 fouls in 5 of his last 10 Premier League starts and in all 3 of his previous fixtures against Villa.

Elanga 1+ Fouls Drawn
Tielemans 1+ Fouls Drawn
Kamara 1+ Fouls Drawn
Anderson 1+ Fouls Drawn
Dominguez 2+ Fouls Committed
