As the international break rolls into view, Premier League Gameweek 7 is the last chance to taste domestic action for a fortnight.
With four of the top five in action at home, both Manchester City and Arsenal could rack up the goals, but who makes BetsofBets’ final goalscorer treble before the interval?
With a policy of only backing players individually who are above EVS to score, here’s Gameweek 7’s triple @ 13/1 with 888sport.
Kai Havertz
Yes, we’re sticking with Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, who continues to extol Vorsprung Durch Tecknik.
After his documented mini-drought, the German forward has netted in back-to-back games, late against Leicester last weekend and against a poor PSG side in the Champions League.
A far inferior opposition are next to travel to the Emirates Stadium, as Southampton make the trip from the south coast having conceded three goals in three of the last four league games.
Whilst there may be more than a few wary punters after Leicester’s plucky showing in Gameweek 6, the Saints have shown little evidence they can come close to competing with the Gunners here.
Worryingly for Russell Martin, this is Southampton’s first game against top four opposition, and you feel if Arsenal want to – with the international break to come – the hosts could inflict damage here. Havertz looks a good punt to make it three in three.
Bryan Mbeumo
Next up, we look to west London and as Brentford host rock-bottom Wolves, Bryan Mbeumo looks a nice addition to the betslip.
Forgetting Erling Haaland’s ongoing exploits for moment, Mbeumo is one of the Premier League’s most in-from front men, having netted in three of the last four.
With a penchant for scoring early for the Bees, the Cameroonian was on target in the opening minute in the last two against capital opposition in Spurs and West Ham.
All eyes will be on kick-off then, but aside from the chances of a remarkable third-straight statistic, Brentford face a Wolves side who look to be battling relegation.
Having conceded twice in five of six league outings, their combined tally of concessions is 19 goals, and that looks likely to be added to, with Mbeumo in the frame once more.
Perhaps the bigger question is, could Brentford once again find the net inside a minute? With Yoann Wissa out, it may also be worth a spin on Mbeumo to score first @ 6/1 with BetUK.
Evanilson
Quietly, Bournemouth are becoming a very watchable Premier League package and after their star summer signing got off the mark last time out, we’re backing Evanilson to hit the goal trail.
As the Cherries sit 11th in the standings, Andoni Iraola is molding his side into a particularly attractive side, and Antoine Semenyo is very likely to be catching the eye of bigger clubs.
However, after his predatory finish against Southampton on Monday night, Evanilson could now be on to a good thing.
Despite missing a penalty against Chelsea, the Brazilian is making an impact and having now opened his account, a trip to Leicester looks inviting.
The Foxes have made a better fist of things in the top flight than many expected, but have still failed to keep a clean sheet in six.
Bournemouth may have a chequered record on the road, but with Steve Cooper’s men unable to keep the door locked at the back, Evanilson could complete the treble.
Premier League Gameweek 7 goalscorer treble @ 13/1 with 888sport: Havertz, Mbeumo + Evanilson.
