Elliot Anderson & Ryan Gravenberch To Be Booked
📗 Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 7.00 (6/1) & 23.00 (22/1)
⚽️ Game: Nottingham Forest vs. Liverpool

There’s only Argentine midfielder Nicolas Dominguez (6) who has picked up more yellow cards in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest this season than the Geordie Maradona. Elliot Anderson picked up his 5th yellow card of the campaign against Wolves, which was Forest’s 20th game of their impressive season. They currently sit in 3rd place on 40 points, just 6 points behind Tuesday night’s table-topping opposition. The cut off for a one-match-ban after picking up 5 yellow cards is a team’s 19th match of the campaign, so Anderson is at no risk of a suspension now unless he picks up 10 yellow-cards.

The 7.00 (6/1) for the former Newcastle man to pick up a yellow card available with Bet365 against the Scousers is a lovely price. Nobody (except Ibrahim Sangare and his 3 appearances) is making more tackles for Nuno’s Forest side than Anderson (2.5 per game). There’s also only Yates, Sangare and Gibbs-White who are committing more fouls per game. Anderson ranks 4th committing 1.1 per game. Liverpool’s central midfielders are also some of their most fouled players with Ryan Gravenberch winning the most fouls for Arne Slot’s side (1.6pg) and Argentine Alexis Mac Allister winning the 3rd most fouls (1.1pg).

We should see quite a physical midfield battle as Anderson himself is Forest’s 2nd most fouled player (1.4pg) and after walking a suspension tightrope since picking up his 4th yellow card against Newcastle at the start of December, Ryan Gravenberch has survived without receiving a one-match ban so he can now freely pick up a booking without consequence. The Dutch midfielder is best priced at 5.00 (4/1) with SkyBet. The double with both Elliot Anderson and Ryan Gravenberch to be booked is best priced at 23.00 (22/1) with Bet365.

Referee Chris Kavanagh is the man in the middle for this one. He’s averaging 5.15 cards per game in the Premier League this term after officiating 13 games. He gives on average 21.46 fouls per game. The reverse fixture saw Nottingham Forest give Liverpool their only loss of the PL season thanks to a Callum Hudson-Odoi strike in the 72nd minute. There were only 21 fouls that day but referee Michael Oliver dished out 8 yellow cards. More of the same tonight please, Kavanagh.
