Watch Wolves Vs Sheffield United Live On Sky Sports At 1.30pm On Sunday

The way Sheffield United plays football doesn't make it easy for opponents to commit fouls against them. In the last six matches they played in the Premier League, they only managed to win 6.3 fouls per 90 minutes. This is the worst record in the league for this period. Additionally, they only got eight yellow cards from the fouls they managed to win, which is also the least number of yellow cards in the league.

Last weekend, Brighton committed five fouls and the referee, Stuart Attwell, was being very strict after Mason Holgate received a red card. As Sheffield United will try to prevent their opponents from scoring and keep the ball, similar to what they did in their win against Wolves and what Brentford and Nottingham Forest did this season, the referee, Darren Bond, will likely have a lot to do as there will be plenty of chances for the visiting team to commit fouls.

Going to the Bet Builder appears to be a smart move by putting together a wager on Sheffield United earning the most booking points and also having a -2 handicap. This choice is available at odds of 6/4 on Sky Bet.

Catch Chelsea Vs. Liverpool In Carabao Cup Final On Sunday At 3pm, Live On Sky Sports

In the upcoming Sunday feature, I'm seeking to merge two perspectives that oppose each other.

The expectation is that the game will be a close and defensive battle happening in a stadium where high-scoring games are uncommon. Furthermore, Liverpool's goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is not expected to prevent the opposing team from scoring.

The atmosphere at Wembley during matches can often bring down the excitement level, possibly due to the pressure of it being a cup final. As a result, games tend to have fewer goals than usual. An analysis of the past 30 games played at Wembley in domestic competitions shows that there has been an average of 1.93 goals per match, which is quite low. Furthermore, only three of these games featured more than 3.5 goals.

If a game has low scoring, then betting on a draw can be a smart move. The most likely draw score is 1-1 and Sky Bet is offering odds of 6/1 for that outcome, as it's expected that Chelsea will score. Despite what Jurgen Klopp may say, Kelleher is not as good as Alisson and has only managed to keep two clean sheets in his last 16 games. There have been six League Cup finals in the past 16 where extra-time was needed, and there's a chance that this trend will continue. A good bet could be Chelsea winning on penalties at odds of 11/1.

Chelsea Expected To Win On Penalties: Score 1-1

Live On Sky Sports: West Ham Vs Brentford On Monday At 8pm

It seems probable that David Moyes and West Ham will split when this season comes to an end. With a position in the middle of the table being probable, is it feasible that the players could find it challenging to remain totally focused despite their sincere efforts?

Even a small decrease of two or three per cent can make a big difference in elite sports. Considering West Ham's declining performance and this additional setback, I plan to bet against them whenever I can as long as Moyes is in control. Their focus will likely shift towards the Europa League.

Brentford requires some Premier League points, and there's a belief that they will triumph in this match at odds of 7/4 with Sky Bet. If they do win, it will mark their sixth straight victory against the Hammers in the Premier League.

I don't need to worry about the 7/4, instead, I'll concentrate on the 15/8 odds with Sky Bet. These odds are for Christian Norgaard to take two or more shots during the game.

West Ham has allowed a troubling quantity of shots from set pieces (110 - ranked sixth worst) and shots outside of the box (150 - no other team has given up more) so far this season. Norgaard has performed well in both of these attacking categories.

He has an average of 0.46 shots from outside the penalty area per 90 minutes of play and 0.50 shots per 90 following corner kicks. He is a danger during set pieces and tends to position himself similarly to Rodri just beyond the penalty area, where he has a good chance of scoring. He is likely to shoot at least twice during the upcoming game, as he did in the previous match against the same opposition.

Bet On Christian Norgaard To Score!
