Man City v Liverpool
Rodri is not only known for his sheer industrious work rate in that midfield, but he also is known for a foul or two.
He averaged 1.46 fouls P/90 in last year’s Premier League which is the highest avg in the whole City squad (bar Kalvin Phillips but he only played 3 games).
‘Getting stuck right in’ is a big part of his game and shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, he’s on course to average his highest average fouls for City. Currently averaging 1.65 fouls p/90 so far this season.
His stats vs Liverpool he has fouled 9 times! which is avg of 1.8 p/90. He is one consistent offender.
Liverpool have some pretty highly fouled players who operate in his area of the pitch, such as Mac Allister (draws 1.63 fouls p/90), Gravenberch (draws 1.67 p/90), Endo (draws 1.3 fouls p/90).
This is exactly the type of game where we will see the best and the worst in Rodri.
