  • Premier League | Gameweek 10 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 10 Goalscorer Treble

    After landing the treble for Gameweek 9 last weekend, we’re looking for a back-to-back double in Premier League Gameweek 10.

    The first stop in November, the weekend is headlined at Old Trafford as Manchester United begin life without Erik Ten Hag, with the visit of Chelsea on Sunday.

    With European commitments to come in midweek, rotation is yet to come into play, so who has made BestofBets’ Gameweek 10 treble @ 16/1 with BetUK.

     

    Mo Salah

    Gameweek 10’s punt begins on Merseyside, as Liverpool host Brighton in an intriguing re-run of their Carabao Cup clash in midweek with Mo Salah looking to fire for the third league game on the spin.

    Having netted the Reds’ crucial late leveller against Arsenal last weekend, Arne Slot’s men remain on the heels of Manchester City as they welcome the Seagulls to Anfield.

    Wary of Bournemouth’s upset win earlier this season, Liverpool can take nothing for granted against Fabian Hurzeler’s charges who have already gone to Newcastle and picked up a win, also holding Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

    As far as Salah goes however, the Egyptian has been prolific against Brighton with eight goals to his name since first facing them in 2018.

    Netting home and away in the league last term, without Diogo Jota leading the line, Salah looks a good bet to find the target in Gameweek 10.

     

    Matheus Cunha

    Next up, were off to the Black Country as Wolves host host Crystal Palace in an another potential early relegation six-pointer, and again, Matheus Cunha is likely to be the key man.

    Capitalising on a misplaced pass on a 4-on-1 breakaway from Brighton last weekend, Cunha punished the Seagulls with a late leveller in a 2-2 draw at the AMEX.

    A return home is welcome for the basement dwellers who are scratching around for points, but intriguingly, not for goals.

    Having tallied a combined ten goals this term, after their 2-0 loss to Arsenal on opening day, Wolves have also scored in every game in all comps.

    Facing a Palace side that whilst coming into this on the heels of back-to-back wins – dumping Aston Villa out of the League Cup – are still shaky away from home, allowing for ample room for optimism of further goals here.

    Cunha has netted in four of nine this term – two of the last three league games but furthermore, also scored home and away against their Gameweek 10 opponents. Cunha can be the man again this weekend.

     

    Cole Palmer

    To complete the Gameweek 10 treble (we hope) we are indeed looking to Old Trafford, and to the same man that brought it home last weekend, Cole Palmer.

    On the scoresheet against Newcastle last weekend, Palmer watched on from the bench as the Magpies exacted revenge in the Carabao Cup, clearly being prioritised for the league game here.

    United, set to appoint Ruben Amorim in the coming week, put five past Leicester in the League Cup themselves under caretaker Ruud van Nistelrooy, but also conceded twice, in a performance that had pros and cons.

    From a betting point of view, goals at Old Trafford look absolutely nailed on now, with United set to be let off the leash and Chelsea remaining wildly cavalier.

    The last three fixtures between the sides have seen over 2.5 goals, and last season saw a combined net of ten goals, with Palmer – like Salah and Cunha – netting both home and away.

    The temptation might be to lean on home players for goals after their midweek showing, but there remains a doubt whether that United form can carry into the league, a worry which cannot really be applied to the Blues.

  • Premier League | Gameweek 9 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 9 Goalscorer Treble

    As November nears, thoughts are now turning to the holiday period, but for us here at BestofBets, this weekend is merely Premier League Gameweek 9.

    With Arsenal and Liverpool taking top billing in a monster clash at the Emirates Stadium, could we see goals or are both defences looking to tighten up in north London?

    Regardless, we’ve teed up another goalscorer treble @ 7/1 with BetUK but who has made the grade this week?

     

    Bryan Mbeumo

    As Gameweek 9 begins early on Friday night, our first picks focuses on west London, as Brentford host a still-winless Ipswich Town, and Bryan Mbeumo could be on the spot.

    Failing to score inside the second minute for the first time in four league games last time out at Old Trafford, the Bees fell to a fourth loss of the season – after an initial lead – but in Gameweek 9 return home to their unbeaten patch.

    Notching a combined total of ten in their own back yard against basement dwellers Crystal Palace, Southampton and Wolves, this weekend the latest of the bottom half, the Tractor Boys, pull into town.

    After a deflating 2-0 loss to Everton at Portman Road last weekend, Kieran McKenna is looking for a response but that is a tough task here.

    For Mbeumo, before Gameweek 8, the Cameroonian had netted in three games on the spin, but if we look at his home form in particular, has scored in every home game this term – twice against the Saints.

    Ipswich have proved plucky opposition on the road so far, but the numbers for the visiting defences that have come to Brentford so far this campaign are stark.

    For the Suffolk side, having conceded six in the last two outings, a physical Brentford side could be tough to manage, not least Mbeumo.

     

    Erling Haaland

    Next we move north to Manchester as City welcome beleaguered Southampton to the Etihad Stadium, with many expect a potential cricket score, and Erling Haaland being eyed up for the spoils.

    Having ended his three-game scoring drought with a brace in midweek against Sparta Prague, Saints fans would have been left with a cold sweat of what might be to come in Gameweek 9 after his aerial antics.

    Themselves throwing away a 2-0 lead at St. Mary’s last time out, Russell Martin’s men have conceded a total 18 goals after eight games, shipping three in each of the last three games.

    The hosts may have been a little goal-shy by their meteoric league standards of late, but Saturday looks like a big number could be tallied.

    After hitting five against the Czechs, three against Fulham and four versus Ipswich all at home this season, Southampton could be in for a torrid afternoon, with FPL managers looking at their triple captain chip.

    It seems inevitable Haaland gets a goal on Saturday, but in a bonus punt, a third hat-trick of the season might be on the cards at 6/1 William Hill.

     

    Cole Palmer

    Our third and final punt returns back down to west London as Chelsea host Newcastle, with Cole Palmer getting the nod.

    As the Blues continue to rack up the goals – four more against Panathinaikos on Thursday night in Europe – the ever-pressing question is which of their attacking unit picks up the scoring gauntlet; a poser which in the league at least looks to be either Nicolas Jackson or Palmer.

    In the case of Palmer, however, after his four-goal tirade against Brighton in Gameweek 6, the number 20 failed to net against both Nottingham Forest and last weekend against Liverpool, but the chances have still come his way.

    Newcastle’s last two league games have been tight, with just one goal in 180 minutes, but this fixture screams goals again.

    Both Jackson and Palmer netted in this fixture last term in a 3-2 win, but for his penalty duties alone, we must lean on Palmer to find the scoresheet.
