5 Premier League Goalscorer Tips to Watch This Weekend - Gameweek 6

Ross Barkley has been instrumental since joining Aston Villa from Chelsea, scoring in their last two wins since he arrived: the 7-2 against Liverpool and last week’s late winner at Leicester City.

Playing at Villa may give him the opportunity to be one of the main men once more like he was at Everton, and if he can rediscover the form he did in his breakthrough season at Everton in 2013/14, then Villa will have two serious contenders for the England midfield slots next summer.

Barkley to make it three from three against an attacking and expansive Leeds United side is priced at 11/4, whilst Barkley to score and win is boosted to 6/1.

At the same time, the Englishman is priced at 3/1 to have 2+ shots on target, and he currently averages four shots on goal per game.

After 18 successful penalties in a row, Bruno Fernandes was finally denied from 12 yards out twice within a week, but subsequently scored once more, after Keylor Navas was punished for encroachment. This now means Manchester United have won four penalties in their last five games, a season after breaking the record for most penalties in a Premier League season, with 14.

With Anthony Martial suspended, Fernandes will have a bigger responsibility to score, alongside the expected debut of Edinson Cavani, who is priced at 13/8 to score anytime.

Fernandes has scored 11 league goals in 18 games for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, and he is priced at 9/5 to score anytime once more and 5/1 to score first.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were both on the scoresheet in the Merseyside Derby last weekend and have 10 league goals between them already after just five games. This follows on from the stunning form they showed as they helped win Liverpool’s first Premier League title last season, where they achieved a combined 37 goals.

In their only appearance at Anfield against Sheffield United, they both scored in a 2-0 win in January. At the same time, the Blades have suffered dramatically in 2020, with no clean sheets in three months since a 3-0 win over Chelsea and just one point from a possible 15 suggests they will struggle against the champions.

For Mane and Salah to both score is priced at 2/1.

Danny Ings has four in five games already this season in a year many expected the England international to low down after a brilliant tally of 22 Premier League goals. The Southampton striker also loves a goal against Everton, as he has netted in four of his last five against the Toffees as well as finding the net in a Merseyside Derby from his Liverpool days.

On the other hand, compatriot Dominic Calvert-Lewin is one of the hottest forwards in Europe right now as the 23-year-old has scored in all five of Everton’s league games this season as well as a hat-trick against West Ham United in the EFL Cup.

Ings and Calvert-Lewin both scored against Wales for England in the last international break, and they are boosted to 5/1 for each to score.

Tottenham Hotspur’s scintillating run of form in front of goal has been down to the unstoppable form of attacking duo Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. They travel to Burnley on Monday hoping the two can continue this hot streak by putting Sean Dyche’s men to the sword.

Son is the joint top scorer in the league with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with seven, and the South Korean has eight in his last five in all competitions. The forward also scored a memorable solo goal against Burnley last season in a 5-0 victory and don’t be surprised to see him repeat the feat if current form is anything to go by.

England captain, Kane, has also turned into a playmaking maestro for Spurs, providing seven league assists already, six of them being for Son.

You can back Son to score 2 or more against an underperforming Burnley outfit at 8/1.
