Arsenal vs Leeds

Bukayo Saka to Score Anytime

Fresh from his goalscoring exploits in England’s win over Ukraine during the international break, Bukayo Saka will be looking to return to club football with a bang when Arsenal take on Leeds.

Saka has been phenomenal for the Gunners this season, scoring a career-high 12 Premier League goals in just 28 appearances.

He has bagged five in his last seven league outings and is a constant threat for Mikel Arteta’s side, especially at the Emirates Stadium where he has eight of his league goals.

Saka scored in Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Leeds earlier in the campaign and is good value to do so on home soil too.

Bournemouth vs Fulham

Over 2.5 Goals

Bournemouth experienced something of a rollercoaster in their last four games before the international break, losing heavily against Manchester City before suffering an agonising defeat at Arsenal. They subsequently beat Liverpool before losing heavily again at Aston Villa.

That Liverpool victory gave Bournemouth’s survival hopes a much-needed shot in the arm, but they simply need to improve defensively in the last 11 games of the season.

The Cherries have conceded a league-high 54 goals in 27 games at a rate of exactly two goals per game. Fulham, on the other hand, have enjoyed an excellent season but have been far from watertight at the back.

Their record of 37 goals conceded is the second-worst in the top ten after Tottenham. It wouldn’t be surprising to see goals on the south coast.

Brighton vs Brentford

Under 2.5 Cards

Brentford’s trip to Brighton sees a meeting between two of the best disciplined sides in the Premier League.

The hosts are the cream of the crop, collecting just 33 yellow cards in 25 games this season. Brentford, on the other hand, are the sixth-best in the division, amassing 38 yellow cards and one red card in 27 games.

Both sides average just over a card a game, while Brighton have collected just three yellow cards in their last five league games. The Bees, meanwhile, have been a little bit less well behaved in their last five, collecting a total of seven.

That still represents an excellent disciplinary record, though, and there is every chance this game will see two cards or fewer.

Roberto Di Zerbi

Crystal Palace vs Leicester

James Madison to Have 3+ Shots

Another relegation six-pointer sees Leicester travel to Selhurst Park.

The Foxes have not won in their last four games and find themselves just one place and one point outside the bottom three but will fancy their chances against a Palace side that has not won in the league in 2023.

Key to Leicester’s chances will be James Madison, who has scored nine and assisted six in the league this season. He averages 2.9 shots per game and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him match that average in a game where the stakes are so high.

He is good value to attempt three shots or more at Selhurst Park.

Nottingham Forest vs Wolves

Over 4.5 Cards

While Brighton vs Brentford sees a clash between two of the league’s best-disciplined sides, Nottingham Forest vs Wolves is almost the complete opposite.

Wolverhampton boast the worst record in the division, collecting 56 yellow cards and a whopping six reds in their 28 games this season.

Forest, meanwhile, have collected 59 yellow cards and no red cards in 27 games. The Tricky Trees might have avoided any sending offs, but they boast the fourth-highest number of yellow cards in the division.

Both sides average well over two cards per game and those averages are unlikely to change in this relegation six-pointer.
