Premier League Weekend Preview: High-Scoring Matches and Key Contenders

The Premier League goal extravaganza continues with an average of 3.23 goals per game. This weekend's matches are expected to maintain this high-scoring trend.

Brentford vs Chelsea

Brentford has a strong record of scoring at home, with goals in 11 of their last 13 Premier League matches. However, they have also conceded two or more goals in eight of their last 10 games. Chelsea, with their attacking prowess, is likely to contribute to a goal-heavy game. A high-scoring draw is a possibility.

Everton vs West Ham

Everton's strength lies in creating chances from aerial balls into the box, while West Ham struggles to defend against such scenarios. With the return of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been unlucky with his headed shots recently, Everton has a good chance of securing a home win.

Fulham vs Brighton

Brighton has struggled in their Premier League games following cup fixtures, failing to win any of the last eight matches. With injuries affecting their squad, Fulham has the advantage in this match. Marco Silva's defensive tactics and the impressive performances of Rodrigo Muniz make Fulham the favorite.

Newcastle vs Wolves

Wolves have shown their ability to win away matches against top teams like Tottenham and Chelsea. With their strong counter-attacking play, they are likely to extend Newcastle's winless streak at home. Pedro Neto and Nelson Semedo pose a threat down the flanks, drawing fouls from the opposition left back.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk's return to form has been instrumental in Liverpool's success this season. His defensive prowess and leadership have significantly improved Liverpool's win percentage. If Liverpool is to win the league, Van Dijk's performance will be crucial. He is a strong contender for the PFA Player of the Year award.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace

Tottenham's games have seen a high average of 3.60 goals per game this season. Both teams have a strong scoring record, with both teams scoring in 15 of Tottenham's last 16 Premier League matches. Crystal Palace, under new manager Oliver Glasner, is expected to show improvement in their attacking play.

Luton vs Aston Villa

Leon Bailey has been performing exceptionally well for Aston Villa, with a high goal contribution ratio. Luton's style of play leaves them vulnerable to players like Bailey, who excel in one-on-one situations. With Luton's defensive issues and the potential absence of key defender Amari'i Bell, Bailey is likely to make an impact.

Burnley vs Bournemouth

Burnley has struggled to score goals this season, with the worst expected goals total in the league. Bournemouth, on the other hand, has a strong defensive record. However, Bournemouth's lack of confidence in attack may prevent them from capitalizing on Burnley's weaknesses. A low-scoring game is expected.

Manchester City vs Manchester United

Manchester City is the clear favorite in this match, and Manchester United's main objective will be to avoid a heavy defeat. Manchester United has been conceding a high number of corners in recent matches, which City can exploit. City's corner count is likely to be high, and betting on them to win eight or more corners is a viable option.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal

Sheffield United's poor form at home makes them vulnerable to a heavy defeat against Arsenal. Arsenal has been scoring consistently in their recent matches and has the potential to continue this trend. With Arsenal's low card count this season, a low number of cards is expected in this one-sided encounter.
