Everton v Manchester CitySaturday 19 April, 15:00

Omar Marmoush was a January signing who caught my eye in terms of props stats, notably for his ability for draw fouls.

And now that he's starting regularly in place of the injured Erling Haaland, that trend is very much worth following.

Leg 1: Omar Marmoush to be fouled 2+ times

Marmoush was fouled 2+ times in 19 of his 24 starts for Frankfurt this season before his move to the Etihad. The Egyptian has since landed the bet in seven of his 11 starts for his new club.

Here he faces an Everton team who sit joint fourth in the league for fouls committed with their numbers having increased in recent weeks, as pointed out in this column by my colleague Ste Tudor.

All things considered, I'm a tad surprised to see Marmoush at 10/11 for attract multiple fouls in this match.

Leg 2: Nico O'Reilly 1+ shot

I'll double that option up with Nico O'Reilly to have at least one shot.

The City youngster has started the last three games at left-back but clearly has plenty of licence to get forward given some of the positions he's been getting himself into.

He managed to get onto the scoresheet las week in the 5-2 win over Crystal Palace and that was the 20-year-old's fourth goal in his last six starts.

O'Reilly is 9/1 to net again here and that is certainly worth considering for those seeking a big price.

However, the smaller odds have treated us well in recent days (two winners in the last three) so I'll take the safer option and back him for 1+ shot, something he's managed in seven of his last eight starts.
