TIP 1: Erling Haaland - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds of 5/4 at Coral while publishing.
Erling Haaland has been one of the most dependable goalscorers in the Premier League this season, finding the net in each of his last five games and in eight of his last 10 overall. He already has five Premier League goals to his name, and the shot volume behind that scoring run is as strong as you will see from any striker, with his shots across his six starts since the Community Shield final reading 4, 2, 6, 4, 5 and 5.
Manchester City arrive at Anfield with a perfect record of 15 points from five games, while Liverpool are without both Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo after Andoni Iraola confirmed on Friday that neither will play. That leaves the hosts short of attacking threat and gives City more of the ball than they might otherwise expect on the road, and with Haaland the focal point of everything City do in the final third, another game with a clear sight of goal looks well within reach.
TIP 2: Antony - Over 3.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds of 3/4 at Star Sports while publishing.
Antony has become Real Betis's primary shooting threat, and this line has been cleared in eight of his last 10 games. The trend is even stronger at home, where he has gone over 3.5 shots in each of his last four games at La Cartuja, and his last 10 home starts have produced 9, 4, 5, 5, 3, 2, 7, 3, 3 and 6 attempts, an average of 4.7 per game.
His recent form backs up the volume too, with his last nine starts reading 0, 9, 6, 4, 6, 4, 5, 5 and 2, which means he has cleared this line in seven of those nine. Betis host Osasuna on Sunday and are expected to have the majority of possession, and a left-footed winger who cuts in from the right and fires from range or the edge of the box is well placed to keep that shot count high.
TIP 3: Igor Matanovic - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds of 11/8 at Sky Bet while publishing.
Igor Matanovic has scored in four of his last seven games and in two of his last four this season, and he is leading the line for one of the Bundesliga's form sides. Freiburg sit third in the table, unbeaten after four games with 12 goals scored and just three conceded, and they host newly promoted Schalke on Sunday.
Matanovic is getting into good positions on a regular basis, with his shots across his last five starts reading 2, 3, 5, 5 and 1, a total of 16 attempts at an average of just over three per game. With Freiburg creating chances at that rate at home, he is the natural focal point for goals, and 11/8 looks a fair price for a striker who has been in the right place so often.nday, and Archer has been the main attacking outlet for a side sitting 15th in the table, having co-led the team in shots in the 2-1 win over Brest last time out.
TIP 4: Simone Cinquegrano - Over 0.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds of 3/4 at Unibet while publishing.
Simone Cinquegrano has registered at least one shot in four of his last five games, and his shots across his last seven starts read 2, 0, 1, 1, 2, 1 and 1, which means he has had an attempt in six of those seven matches. That is a reliable return for a Sassuolo player who operates as an attack-minded full-back and is regularly asked to join attacks from wide areas.
Sassuolo host AC Milan on Sunday, a fixture in which the home side are likely to spend long periods without the ball, but Cinquegrano's role gives him chances to get forward and shoot on the counter or from set-piece situations. At 3/4 for a single attempt, the numbers suggest that the price is generous.
TIP 5: Cameron Archer - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds of 3/1 at bet365 while publishing.
Cameron Archer has made a remarkable start to life in France, scoring in each of his three games for Auxerre since joining on loan from Southampton on 1 September. He has now scored in five of his last seven games overall, and his shots on target this season read 2, 2 and 1, meaning he has hit the target at least once in every match and has five efforts on target from three appearances.
