5 Premier League Tips for the Weekend’s Action - 14/1/23

On Saturday, the Manchester derby takes place at Old Trafford, in what could be a close-fought contest between Manchester United and Manchester City.

Marcus Rashford has scored eight goals in his last eight matches, while Erling Haaland has managed to find the back of the next seven times. The England international has managed 15 goals across all competitions this season, while Haaland has found the back of the net 27 times, including a hat-trick against United when City thrashed the Red Devils 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium.

Brighton hosts Liverpool at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, with the Seagulls having the opportunity to move ahead of the visitors in the Premier League table.

In his last eight matches, Mohamed Salah has had 16 shots on target. On top of this, the Egyptian has scored 17 goals this campaign. Salah also has a good record against the Seagulls, scoring six and creating six assists in 11 games.

Everton against Southampton is a crucial fixture that takes place on Saturday, with the Toffees being 18th in the table, while the Saints are 20th.

A player that will be keen to have an impact on this game is Demarai Gray, who is priced at 10/1 to score from outside the box, having done so recently in the Toffees 1-1 draw away at Manchester City. Notably, the Everton winger also hit the post with an effort from outside the penalty area in the Toffees' 3-1 FA Cup defeat to Manchester United last time out.

Gray has scored five goals across all competitions for Everton this season.

On Sunday, Tottenham and Arsenal go head to head in the North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the Gunners coming into this match as favourites.

The last time these two sides met, Arsenal beat Spurs 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in what was a feisty affair as the Gunners were shown two yellow cards, while Tottenham received one yellow card and a red card was shown to Emerson Royal.

In one of Sunday’s early kick-offs, Fulham and Newcastle meet in a battle of third against seventh.

Two of the most in-form players in the Premier League during the 2022/23 campaign face-off, as Miguel Almiron and Aleksandar Mitrovic line-up for either side, with the latter looking to impress against his former club.

Almiron has managed to score nine goals in 18 Premier League fixtures, including a brace against the Cottagers when Newcastle hammered Sunday’s opponents 4-1 back in October at Craven Cottage.

Meanwhile, Mitrovic is the fourth top scorer in the Premier League this campaign, having found the back of the net 11 times in 15 matches, averaging a goal every 117 minutes.
