Football Acca Tips: Stick on right-backs in Premier League Cards Acca GW9

This weekend's Premier League Cards Acca is all about right-backs, as I pick out three who play in that position to go into the book.

Below are my Football Acca Tips for Gameweek 9…

Mats Wieffer (Manchester United vs Brighton, Sat 15:00) @ 13/5

Mats Wieffer and Matheus Cunha enjoyed quite the battle against each other last season.

In Brighton's 2-2 draw with Wolves at the Amex last October, Wieffer gave the ball away for Cunha's last-gasp equaliser, but he redeemed himself in May's 2-0 victory at Molineux, completing nine tackles and winning a penalty - from Cunha, who was booked - in a man-of-the-match display.

Wieffer was also cautioned in that game, though, picking up his sixth and final yellow of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

The 25-year-old is already up to three this season in just six appearances, having gone into the book against Everton, Chelsea and, most recently, Wolves (again).

Today's Football Fixtures

Cunha is yet to register a goal or assist in eight appearances for Man United since his summer switch from Wolves, but he has proved himself a nuisance to opposition defences, averaging 1.7 fouls won per game in the Premier League, with Sunderland's Granit Xhaka and Brentford's Kevin Schade both booked for offences committed against the Brazilian.

The 26-year-old does a lot of his work on the left-hand side, so we're likely to see him in another battle with Wieffer at Old Trafford on Saturday, making the Dutchman a standout candidate in the Player to Receive a Card market.

Matty Cash (Aston Villa vs Manchester City, Sun 14:00) @ 11/4

Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash is a regular in the referee's notebook, receiving at least seven yellows in four of his five full seasons in the Premier League.

The 28-year-old has already been booked twice in eight league outings this term, and has been cautioned once in three Uefa Europa League matches, too.

Premier League Odds

At Villa Park on Sunday, the Poland international is likely to be handed the unenviable task of marking Man City winger Jeremy Doku, who is averaging 1.5 fouls won per game in this season's Premier League, and three per game in the Uefa Champions League.

Doku was fouled five times in Tuesday's 2-0 win at Villarreal, whose right-back Santiago Mourinho was booked for a foul on the Belgian in the 45th minute.

Cash has been shown three yellows in eight appearances against Man City - only against Brighton (five) and Brentford (four) has he been booked more times.

Pedro Porro (Everton vs Tottenham, Sun 16:30) @ 5/2

Jack Grealish was ineligible to feature in Everton's 2-0 defeat at Manchester City last Saturday, under the terms of his loan agreement from the Citizens.

The 30-year-old is free to return to the side for Sunday's game against Tottenham Hotspur, though, and he's almost certain to be restored to the starting XI, lining up on the left-hand side of the Toffees' attack.

Grealish (26) is the Premier League's most fouled player this season, averaging 3.7 fouls won per game, and in Europe's top five leagues, only Eibar's Aleix Febas (29) has been upended more times than the Englishman, who has drawn a yellow-card challenge in four of his last five appearances across all competitions.

Even against Palace, where no Eagles player was booked for a foul on Grealish, who was taken down four times, their right wing-back, Daniel Munoz, was cautioned after his reaction to a foul on him by the Everton loanee.

Pedro Porro is likely to be in Munoz's shoes on Sunday at Hill Dickinson Stadium, making him another prime candidate to be booked this weekend.

The Spurs right-back was issued five yellows in 33 league appearances last season, and has been shown one in eight this term. He's also been booked once in the Champions League, Carabao Cup and Uefa World Cup qualifiers (for Spain).

Porro has a history with Grealish, as he was yellow-carded for a foul on him in a 3-3 draw between Man City and Spurs in December 2023. Grealish was only substituted on in the 52nd minute of that game, but drew five fouls, two of which were made by Porro.
