Patrick Bamford expected to boost Leeds United tally but Aston Villa danger man is clear

Marcelo Bielsa's Whites are actually a shorter price than they were against the Saints as Leeds are no bigger than 5-4 having been 7-5 against before the 3-0 triumph against the Saints.

Villa can be backed at 23-10 whereas the draw is on offer at 14-5.

Dean Smith's side are missing star man Jack Grealish through injury and Whites no 9 Patrick Bamford is 9-2 favourite to score first and 13-10 as an any time scorer.

Villa's Ollie Watkins is second favourite at 33-5 to score first and 15-8 any time.

Thereafter, three youngsters take the next three spots in United duo Sam Greenwood (15-2) and Joe Gelhardt (38-5) plus Villa's Louie Barry (8-1).

But the next handful in the market seem more likely in the shape of Villa duo Anwar El Ghazi and Keinan Davis plus United pair Pablo Hernandez and Raphinha who are all 9s to score first.

United's Tyler Roberts has been knocking on the door of late so could warrant interest at 21-2 and thereafter Helder Costa (11s), Trezeguet (12s), Jack Harrison (12s), Ross Barkley (13s), Bertrand Traore (14s) and Mateusz Klich (14s) are next.

Even lower down the order, Stuart Dallas again looks a big price at 22-1, the same odds as Villa's John McGinn.

As is often the case, a 1-1 draw is favourite in the correct score market at 38-5.

But thereafter it is either a 2-1 triumph for Leeds (19-2) or a 1-0 Whites win (12-1) that the bookies see as most likely and Bamford is definitely fancied to take his seasonal tally to 14.
