5 Premier League Tips for the Weekend's Action - 11/2/23

Arsenal host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday after receiving a surprising defeat to Everton last weekend. The Gunners will be looking to extend the gap between themselves and second place, whereas Brentford will aim to go ten games unbeaten.

Bukayo Saka scored in the last meeting between the two sides at the Emirates and the winger has scored four goals in nine home games this season, including two in his last three. Brentford’s talisman Ivan Toney has been incredible form this season, scoring thirteen goals already. The number 17 has constantly delivered on the road also, boasting a record of six goals in nine away games. Toney is Brentford’s trustworthy penalty taker and Saka has taken the only penalty Arsenal have had all season.

Spurs travel to the King Power Stadium this weekend to face a Leicester City side who are a shadow of their former self. This fixture has historically seen plenty of goals, with over 2.5 occurring in ten out of 12 games since 2017. Harry Kane has scored in back-to-back games and he has a great record against the Foxes.

Harvey Barnes has started to recover some form in recent weeks and he averages 1.2 shots on target per game. His direct approach and ability to drive at players often leads to striking opportunities, he also wins lots of corners for Leicester. The last three games at the King Power has seen Leicester accumulate 5,6 and 5 corners in each game. Spurs’ last away game saw them register 8 corners against Fulham.

Nottingham Forest travel to Craven Cottage as the fifth-most in-form team in the Premier League. However, the difference maker in this game could be in the form of Serbian forward, Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Fulham’s top goal scorer has put the ball in the back of the net six times in nine home games this season. Mitrovic’s aerial dominance and his ability to be a threat from crosses Is a huge aspect of Fulham’s tactics. 36% of the number nine’s goals have been scored by his head and he often has opportunities in the air. Fulham also win a large number of set pieces, averaging 5.7 corners per game at home. Mitrovic will get opportunities to score from crosses.

On Saturday, fierce rivals Crystal Palace and Brighton face each other at Selhurst Park. This contest has proved to have a little bit of everything in the past and we should see a full-throttle affair once again.

Neither side has managed to get the better of the other in three of the last four meetings, however, we have seen both teams score frequently, with it happening in nine of the last ten games. Palace average 4.5 corners at home per game and Brighton registers 4.4 corners per 90 minutes on their travels. There has been plenty of drama during the last two meetings and in each tie both teams have received 20+ booking points.

Wolves faced Liverpool last weekend and they added three vital points to their tally, destroying their Merseyside opponents 3-0. Unfortunately, Southampton haven’t had much to celebrate recently and there is a hint of toxicity within St Mary’s, with boss Nathan Jones struggling to get the fans on board. Southampton have the worst home form in the Premier League and Wolves look like a completely different side under Lopetegui. If the away side performs as they did versus Klopp’s side, they should leave with a victory.

This is a huge game at the bottom of the table and both managers will be wanting to secure three points. Southampton average 5.2 corners at home and Wolves average 4.8 on the road. With both sides feeling the pressure, cards will occur, especially as referee Jarred Gillet averages over four per game.
