5 Premier League Tips for the Weekend's Action - 25/2/23

Top-of-the-table Arsenal will make the trip to the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Last weekend, the Gunners played Aston Villa at Villa Park which ended 4-2 to the away side. Mikel Arteta’s side accumulated 9 corners and had 20 shots, however, Aston Villa provided a constant threat on the break.

Leicester head into Saturday’s game off the back of a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford. The Foxes picked up two yellow cards and in their most recent home game versus Spurs, they saw 5 of their players get booked.

Since James Maddison has returned to the line-up, he has got a goal contribution in two of his last three games. Arsenal star boy, Bukayo Saka, has registered a goal or an assist in his last three games, so clearly both players are in form. Maddison is on set pieces for Leicester and most of the Foxes' attacking play goes through the attacking midfielder, which is similar to Arsenal with Saka.

Liverpool have shown glimpses of their former successful self in the past few weeks, winning their last two Premier League games 2-0. Nunez and Salah look hungry for goals and they will be vital in Liverpool’s push for European football.

Nunez has been heavily criticised for his lack of consistency in front of goal, however, he has still scored six in the Premier League. Mo Salah has scored 8 goals in the league also, making him Liverpool’s highest scorer. Both players scored in Liverpool’s 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday and I think it could happen again at Selhurst Park, especially considering Crystal Palace are on a run of seven games without a victory.

Everton have drastically improved since the appointment of Sean Dyche and he has struck the perfect balance in midfield. Onana has become a vital player for Dyche, providing support at both ends of the pitch. The Belgian did pick up a knock last week however he will be available for Saturday’s game and Everton will need his presence in the middle of the park.

Onana provides a threat from set pieces due to his height, but he also often arrives late into the box in a Lampard-esque fashion. Onana has three shots last weekend and should have registered a shot on target. The two home games prior to that, he registered 1 shot on target versus Arsenal and 2 shots on target against Southampton.

A must-win game for both teams takes place on Saturday as Southampton travel to Elland Road. Leeds United sit in 19th place whilst their visitors are below them in 20th. Southampton showed that they are capable of hurting teams on the counter attack last weekend, as they beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 1-0. Leeds, however, are without a win in 10, and they will be desperate to earn three points.

Leeds' last game at Elland Road was against Manchester United, where they put in a brave performance which showed attacking football was the priority. The game saw both sides register 5+ shots on target and this exact bet was a winner. The Saints have registered 5+ shots on target in their last three Premier League away games and they will look to be clinical on the break.

Temporary Spurs captain Harry Kane will need to be firing on Sunday when Chelsea travels to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. The England forward has scored 17 goals this season in an inconsistent side which lacks creativity, emphasising just how good the number 10 is.

Kane averages 1.7 shots on target per 90 minutes this season and approximately four shots per game. Opponents Chelsea are under extreme pressure after winning just one in their last eight games, which Spurs will be looking to take advantage of. The England international has registered 2+ shots on target in 73% of his games at home this season, including against Manchester City earlier this month.
