These Opta nuggets point out Frank Lampard, Olivier Giroud, Peter Crouch and Harry Kane as probable midweek scorers...

"Harry Kane has scored 12 goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances."

Recommended Bet: Back Kane to score against Swansea @ 2.26/5

All matches are on Wednesday at 19:45

Man City v Leicester

Frank Lampard has already scored more Premier League goals in one game against Leicester with Man City (one) than he did in four for Chelsea (none)

The fact that Lampard has only started three league games all season might make you reluctant to back him to score, but consider this: last month's draw with Hull is the sole Man City Premier League fixture in 17 that he hasn't played some part in. The veteran midfielder grabbed the decisive goal in the King Power Stadium clash, and has struck seven times in 2014/15 despite his limited minutes.

Recommended Bet: Back Lampard to score @ 3.39/4

QPR v Arsenal

Olivier Giroud has scored seven goals in his last nine Premier League starts

Arsenal's French forward showed his character by recovering from his miserable Champions League outing against Monaco to break the deadlock in fine fashion against Everton, lifting his 2014/15 tally to a strong 12 goals in 15 starts across all competitions. The 28-year-old has a point to prove against QPR too having put his team in danger with a needless sending off against them at the Emirates.

Recommended Bet: Back Giroud to score @ 2.111/10

Stoke v Everton

Peter Crouch has scored 46 headed Premier League goals, the joint-most in Premier League history

Even more significant to this encounter than Crouch nodding his way level with Alan Shearer in the neck-straining charts is that he has now scored in four successive appearances, his longest streak in close to nine years, proving that he is as effective as ever at the age of 34. It won't take much for Crouch to tower over an Everton defence breached twice in both of their last two league matches.

Recommended Bet: Back Crouch to score @ 3.39/4

Tottenham v Swansea

Harry Kane has scored 12 goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances

There were shocking scenes at the weekend as Kane failed to fire against Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final, marking his first domestic blank in over a month. His Premier League figures point to a swift return to form against Swansea though, as he has fired six times across his previous four games and was shut out in a mere one of his seven top-flight matches in 2015 (Sunderland's January visit).

Recommended Bet: Back Kane to score @ 2.26/5
