Burnley’s recent games have been full of goalmouth action as they look to improve their survival hopes. Central to their attacking threat has been Jaidon Anthony, who has had five shots on target in his last five starts, scoring twice in the process. In games at Turf Moor this season, the winger has averaged 1.06 efforts on goal per 90, and he should be full of confidence given his recent form.

Visitors Bournemouth give up a massive 16.64 shots per game on the road, with an average of 6.29 of those attempts working their goalkeeper, and so could be the perfect opposition for Anthony to target. At the end of January, they travelled to the only side in the division with a worse record than Burnley and conceded seven efforts on target, and with the Clarets finding their shooting boots, they could well cause problems.

Jack Hinshelwood is enjoying a spell in Brighton’s midfield and with the freedom to get forward as often as possible, he’s trying his luck plenty of times. The English utility player averages 1.79 shots per 90 across the season but has managed 14 efforts in his last five starts, landing this bet in all of those and so is certainly seeing an uptick in attacking productivity. 

Sunderland’s feet are firmly on the beach with their safety secured and a tilt at European football looking unlikely and therefore, their games are likely to be more open. Their opponents at the Stadium of Light are taking 12.36 shots per game but in their last five league matches they’ve been much less focussed on defending, shipping 90 shots at an average of 18 per game. Brighton were afforded 16 attempts at goal in the reverse fixture and Hinshelwood seems likely to get himself involved if they can rack up a similar total.

With an average of 1.37 shots per 90 this season, the price on offer for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to let fly just once in this game feels generous. Since returning from injury, the Everton midfielder looks determined to make up for lost time, taking 11 shots in his last 5 league starts. He’s happy to pull the trigger from range and after netting last time out against Burnley, should be high in confidence. 

A trip to the Emirates is as tough as it comes in the Premier League, however, Arsenal have been showing signs of nerves in recent weeks. The Gunners only concede 6.21 shots per game on their own patch but five of the last six visiting sides have managed at least eight as Mikel Areta’s side drop deep once they take the lead. Everton will be fresh and can play with freedom whilst their hosts will have fatigue from a midweek trip to Leverkusen to contend with and hopefully Dewsbury-Hall can take advantage.

After a lean spell in front of goal earlier in the season, Anthony Gordon has come back into form at the business end of the season, benefitting from a change in position. The winger has been deployed as a central striker by Eddie Howe in recent weeks and has taken 14 shots in his last five starts, cashing this bet in all five, including three efforts and a goal against Man Utd last weekend. He also had two shots in the reverse fixture and with an international break on the horizon, he’ll be looking to impress Thomas Tuchel. 

This game comes sandwiched between Champions League action for both sides but Newcastle have the benefit of an extra day’s rest and also played at home on Tuesday whilst Chelsea travelled to Paris on Wednesday evening. The Blues have given up double figures for shots in three of their four home league games under Liam Rosenior and with struggling Burnley managing 12 shots in their last match at Stamford Bridge, they could well be vulnerable to the Magpies attack.

Another player enjoying a more advanced role lately is Tomas Soucek who has taken nine shots across his last five starts in all competitions, netting twice in the process. The Czech midfielder is being encouraged to get into the opposition box whenever possible and is also one of the Hammers’ biggest aerial threat from set pieces and so will always get opportunities to test the goalkeeper. 

Man City’s title challenge stuttered against Forest in their last league outing and they’ve been far from solid on the road all season, conceding 11 shots per game. The Cityzens backline is not the solid unit it once was and with West Ham playing well and buoyed by their penalty shootout victory on Monday night, they’ll fancy their chances of causing a shock to climb out of the bottom three.
