Back Jarrod Bowen to get involved in goals again for West Ham

Paul Higham has sifted through the Premier League player stats to uncover who you should back in the props markets for the next round of fixtures.


Which players are having a storming end to the season? Our Betfair player stats watch column will take a look at some of the best player performance stats for betting, the key players to watch this weekend and trending players to keep an eye on.

Back Bowen to help bag a goal again

Jarrod Bowen is the man in form for goals and goal involvements in the Premier League right now, after scoring against Manchester United to make it a goal or assist in his last four games.

He's got a goal involvement in six of his last eight games, with four of those being goals and two games with assists, so it's enough of a spread to back him for a goal or assist coming up.

West Ham are at home to Nottingham Forest on Sunday - a Forest side without a win in four games, during which they've conceded seven goals.

Premier League goal involvements: Players to Watch

Brentford's Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbuemo are regulars here and continue to be prolific threats in front of goal, but it's team-mate Kevin Schade who is currently on the hottest streak with a goal in three straight games.

Back Schade to continue his fine run with a goal as Brentford host Fulham on Sunday.

Beto and Soucek surprising sharp shooters

Alexander Isak has the longest consecutive streak for shots on target with six, while Yoane Wissa has five in a row and Gabriel Martinelli is worth watching with four in a row, a goal at Anfield and a move into a central attacking position.

But two others to watch a littler further off the radar are Everton's Beto and West Ham's Tomas Soucek, who are both just starting what could be promising runs of hitting the target.

Soucek has a shot on target in his last three and will be a threat for West Ham at home against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Beto is a man to watch for shots, and goals for that matter, as he's scored in the last two when having two shots on target in back-to-back outings. 

So back him for 2+ shots on target as Everton host Southampton in the final ever league game at Goodison Park. 

Premier League shots on target: Players to watch

Our old friends Kevin Schade can be backed for multiple shots on target as he's had five in his last two and is on a run of four games in a row - while Liverpool's Cody Gakpo has hit the target in four straight games ahead of the champions visiting Brighton on Monday.

Villa's Kamara consistent in fouls market

For consistency, Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara is tough to beat in the fouls committed market as he's given away two in each of his last six outings, so is well worth backing to continue that run against Spurs on Friday night.

Tottenham will make wholesale changes are likely not offer up too much resistence, but a few of them will hope to impress Ange Postecoglu enough to earn Europa League final places.

And it is the final game at Villa Park this season so the atmosphere should be great as Unai Emery's side hunt a Champions League spot . Plenty of good conditions for Kamara to continue his streak.

Premier League fouls committed: Players to watch

Two to watch in the Brentford v Fulham game, with both teams still playing for something in a West London derby, are Christian Norgaard and Ryan Sessegnon who are both worth backing to give away a couple of fouls each.

Norgaard has figures of 2-2-2-1-1-4 in his last six games and also gave away two fouls in the reverse fixture with Fulham.

Sessegnon has a similar record of 3-2-3-1-3-1 so could even be backed for 3+ fouls if you're feeling brave, or maybe double him up with Norgaard for 2+ fouls each.

English Premier League - Top 5 Fouls

Player Team Apps Fouls Fouls/90*
Igor Thiago Brentford 38 73 2
João Gomes Wolves 35 69 2.2
Elliot Anderson Nottm Forest 38 57 1.5
Antoine Semenyo Bournemouth 37 56 1.6
Moisés Caicedo Chelsea 33 54 1.7

Paqueta the pick for fouls against

West Ham's Lucas Paqueta leads the way here as he's got some outrageous numbers that mean he's a must when the Hammers host Nottingham Forest - a side who will give away more than their fair share.

Lucas Paqueta 1280.jpg

Paqueta was fouled five times in his last game against Spurs, as part of a run of 10 straight games with 2+ fouls against him. Seven of those games have been 3+ fouls drawn as well so back him for the max again against Forest.

Paqueta to draw 3+ fouls has landed in nine of his last 13 games for the Hammers, which is a remarkable run that warrants full attention.

Premier League fouls drawn: Players to watch

Arsenal's Miles Lewis-Skelly has learned the nack of winning fouls off team-mate Bukayo Saka, who is one of the best in the league at seeking contact and going down to win the free kick.

The youngster won five fouls at Anfield on Sunday - his fourth game in five with 2+ fouls against him and third with 3+ fouls drawn - and, in a huge game for the Gunners against Newcastle at the Emirates, another 3+ fouls drawn looks just the ticket.

English Premier League - Top 5 Fouls Won

Player Team Apps Fouls Won Fouls Won/90*
Elliot Anderson Nottm Forest 38 80 2.2
Bruno Guimarães Newcastle 29 75 2.7
