Manchester United's pacy front three of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga caused problems for Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday night and they could give Southampton left-back Moussa Djenepo an awkward 90 minutes at St Mary's.
United boss Erik ten Hag also has Cristiano Ronaldo as a handy attacking option and Djenepo is still learning his trade at left-back having played further forward for most of his career.
He has done well in the role in Southampton's first three Premier League matches but was booked in Tuesday's 3-0 EFL Cup win at Cambridge United, where he came on as a 66th-minute substitute.
United, buoyed by Monday's 2-1 win over Liverpool in which Sancho and Rashford scored, must continue to play on the front foot and Djenepo is an enticing bet at 11-4 to be shown a card at St Mary's.
Leicester's underwhelming start to the league campaign is epitomised by striker Jamie Vardy's tally of just one shot, which was off target, in 225 minutes.
Their midfielders have posed more of a threat with James Maddison scoring twice in three games and Harvey Barnes making a lively return from a knee injury against Southampton last weekend.
Barnes, who scored 15 goals in 46 league starts in 2020-21 and 2021-22, had two shots against Saints and three in the midweek EFL Cup tie at Stockport. He is worth backing to have an attempt on target at Chelsea, who have conceded five goals in their last two games.
Wilfried Zaha scored in Crystal Palace's wins over Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United last season, breaking the deadlock in three of those victories.
Zaha also opened the scoring in this season's draw at Liverpool before a brace in last weekend's home win over Aston Villa and the Eagles ace merits an each-way bet to score first against a Manchester City defence who struggled against Newcastle's flying winger Allan Saint-Maximin in last Sunday's 3-3 draw.
