  • 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 5 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 5 Goalscorer Treble

    After the Champions League swung into gear in not-altogether scintillating fashion, the weekend sees focus turn back to the Premier League for Gameweek 5.

    As Manchester City and Arsenal meet at the Etihad Stadium in Sunday’s blockbuster clash – after both City and the Gunners drew blanks versus Italian opposition – another close encounter is expected at Eastlands.

    So, this weekend, BestofBets steer away from dogfight at the top and look further afield for our Goalscorer Treble at 10/1 with Boylesports, but who has made out cut for Gameweek 5?

    Ollie Watkins

    After his Euro’ semi-final heroics, Ollie Watkins can be forgiven for having a sluggish start to campaign.

    However, as super-sub Jhon Duran remains his back up option, and after Watkins ended an eight-game league scoring drought against a haphazard Everton, a derby encounter against Wolves looks inviting.

    The Villa man was forced off as a precaution in Tuesday’s Champions League meeting in Bern, but boss Unai Emery has said his frontman should be ok for Saturday afternoon.

    Wolves, meanwhile, have shipped two goals a game in all but one of six contests in all comps – five at home to Chelsea – and if Villa are in the mood, Watkins could have a field day.

    Though the menacing threat of Duran lingers to start ahead of him at Villa Park, we will stick to our guns with this one.

    Mo Salah

    For Mo Salah, 180 minutes without a goal is something of a goal drought, but having blanked away in Milan and at home to Nottingham Forest in the Reds’ surprise defeat, the Egyptian should have better fare here.

    As Bournemouth make the trip to Anfield, Arne Slot may be wary of successive upsets, but despite a plucky showing against Chelsea, we do not foresee any issues for Liverpool.

    Salah has scored in three of four league games so far, and has a tally of four goals at home against the Cherries in his time on Merseyside – including one in the same fixture last season.

    Bournemouth may not ship nine goals as they infamously did in 2022, but we’re backing Salah to find the net all the same.

     

    Jamie Vardy

    For the third piece of Gameweek 5’s treble there are contenders aplenty, but Jamie Vardy gets the nod this time.

    The Foxes’ veteran striker has netted in half his league games this term so far, but crucially to our hopes, as Leicester City welcome the aforementioned Toffees’ porous back line, Vardy could be in line for another notch on the tally.

    Twice now in successive league outings, Everton have surrendered a two-goal advantage, and Vardy played the full 90 minutes against both Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.

    With Steve Cooper having few alternatives up top, Vardy looks good to play the duration again, and cause Everton further angst.
