After he brought our acca home on Saturday with two shots against Arsenal, it would be rude not to back David Brooks once more against much weaker opposition.

As mentioned at the weekend, Brooks looks one of the most likely Bournemouth players to step up when Antoine Semenyo’s move to Man City is confirmed, and with 1.17 shots on target per 90 this season, he’s working the goalkeeper often enough to lead us off.

Visitors Spurs are still flattering to deceive under Thomas Frank and arrive at the Vitality Stadium, conceding 4.3 shots on target per game on the road.

They were absolutely hammered by Andoni Iraola’s Cherries in the reverse fixture, where the hosts hit the target six times, and having also done so on eight occasions in each of the previous two meetings, this is clearly a match-up that Bournemouth enjoy. 

Sometimes our selections are data-driven and on other occasions it’s down to the eye test. This pick is of the latter variety, as in recent weeks, Trai Hume has been given more attacking freedom by Regis Le Bris, and the result of that has been him managing two shots in each of his last two starts further forward. One of those games was against high-flying Man City, and so he’s obviously not fazed by difficult games.

Brentford have had an excellent festive period, but have been far from solid defensively on their own patch this season, giving up 13.3 shots per game. Their last three games at home have seen their opponents manage 47 shots, and so teams are creating chances at will against them and with Hume’s new role, he can profit at a lovely price.

Yerson Mosquera has been priced up nicely to land a fourth shot in his last three games. The towering centre back is Wolves’ main target from set pieces in the absence of Emmanuel Agbadou, and given that they’ve scored from restarts twice in their last three games, we can expect them to be focusing on them again as a means of attack. 

Everton’s struggles continued on Sunday as they shipped four goals in defeat to Brentford at home. One of those goals came from a Bees corner, and with the Toffees offering up 3.75 set piece shots per game, it’s starting to become an area of concern. David Moyes’ side have offered up six shots to opposition centre backs in their last three matches, and so this could be a great opportunity for Mosquera to net his first Premier League goal.

With Bruno Fernandes not making the bench against Leeds, we can expect Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte to continue as Man Utd’s central midfield duo. Ugarte has taken four shots in his last two starts and seems to be enjoying the attacking freedom given to him with the Brazilian ball winner by his side. He also averaged 0.96 shots per 90 last season, and so there’s every reason to believe he can keep this shooting form up. 

Last winning in late October, Burnley look all but relegated already, and whilst they’ve offered more in attack in recent games, that has been to the detriment of their defensive data as they’re conceding more shots than any other Premier League side at 15.65 per game. United may be in disarray after Ruben Amorim’s sacking, but they couldn’t wish for a better opponent to get back to winning ways against.

Having netted in consecutive games after his goal against Crystal Palace on Sunday, Bruno Guimaraes should be full of confidence. The tenacious midfielder is averaging 1.52 shots per 90 in league action this season, and after landing this bet in 12 of his last 14 appearances, he’s a reliable source of attacking output for the Magpies.

Leeds are conceding 12.3 shots per game on their travels, and on their most recent trip to Anfield,they gave up 19 shots. Plenty of energy has been expended in a tough Christmas period with games against Sunderland, Liverpool and Man Utd and whilst they’ve come through those tests unbeaten, a visit to St James’ Park could be a step too far.
