Best value single: John McGinn to be booked
We’ve tipped Aston Villa to collect more cards than Southampton on Sunday, and combative Scottish midfielder John McGinn looks primed to add to the Villains’ haul of cautions.
The all-action 26-year-old has been booked three times in just five Premier league appearances so far this season, and his tough-tackling approach makes him a cracking price at 10/3 to land himself in trouble with the officials again.
