5 Premier League Tips for the Weekend’s Action - 15/4/23

The first tip on this list comes from Saturday’s early kick-off, where two high-flying sides go head to head, as Aston Villa meet Newcastle at Villa Park.

Ollie Watkins is having a superb season for the Villains, as the 27-year-old has scored 12 goals and created five assists in 29 matches. Meanwhile, Newcastle midfielder Joelinton has been shown a total of 11 yellow cards in 25 Premier League appearances this campaign.

In Newcastle’s last game away at Brentford, the Magpies had five corners to their opponent’s six.

Title-chasing Manchester City faces off against relegation-battling Leicester City, with Dean Smith facing a daunting task in his first game as Interim Manager of the Foxes.

In midweek, Erling Haaland scored his 45th goal of the season as City demolished Bayern Munich 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

As far as yellow cards go, Wout Faes has received a total of six yellow cards and one red card across all competitions this season, while combative midfielder Wilfried Ndidi has been shown five yellow cards in 24 matches for the Foxes this campaign.

Wolves and Brentford go head to head at Molineux on Saturday in what could be an entertaining contest between 13th and ninth in the table.

Diego Costa was a handful for Chelsea last time out and was unlucky not to score in this match, he will be looking to cause havoc in the Brentford defence. Meanwhile, Ivan Toney averages 3 shots per game, with 1.4 of these being on target - the former Peterborough United man has scored a staggering 18 goals for the Bees in the Premier League this season.

In Wolves' recent 1-0 win over Chelsea, each team had eight corners, while the Molineux club were shown two yellow cards to the Blues' five.

West Ham United host Premier League leaders Arsenal at the London Stadium, with Mikel Arteta’s side looking to bounce back from their 2-2 draw at Anfield last Sunday.

In the Gunners' draw with Liverpool, Brazilian duo Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus both managed to get on the scoresheet.

Martinelli has managed to score 14 goals in 30 Premier League matches, while Jesus has found the back of the net eight times and made six assists in 18 league appearances.

Manchester United face a tricky test when they travel to the City Ground to face a relegation-battling Nottingham Forest side.

The Red Devils will be keen to bounce back from their shock 2-2 draw at home to Sevilla where both Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez were substituted due to injury.

Without Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Bruno Fernandes will likely provide the Red Devils' biggest goal threats. Fernandes has scored ten goals and created 13 assists for United this campaign, while Martial recently returned to action last weekend against Everton, scoring a goal that takes his tally up to seven goals and three assists in 861 minutes of action this season.
