Ladbrokes' tips - Sunday, October 11, 2026: Bookings aplenty in the Premier League and Championship

A tasty derby match unfolds in the Championship on Sunday as Southampton and Portsmouth come to blows at St Mary's. The South Coast duo have one of the fiercest rivalries in English football and, with only two points separating them in the table, it should be a feisty encounter.

The last encounter at St Mary's produced six yellow cards, with four for Saints and two for Pompey, and history in this fixture suggests yellows are more likely than reds, with only two red cards shown in 73 meetings compared to 46 yellows. We believe a similar trend will follow, with two bookings for each side.

A similarly hostile atmosphere awaits at Anfield on Sunday, with Manchester City playing their first game since being found guilty on all charges of breaching the Premier League's financial rules.

This game has produced some end-to-end classics over the years, which usually results in tactical fouls aplenty. Since 2016, Liverpool have averaged almost two yellow cards per match against City (38 in 20 games), while the Reds have picked up 12 bookings in their opening five matches this term.

City only have six yellows in five games, but have averaged exactly two yellow per match against the Merseysiders, so we're backing a similar trend to unfold.
