With the Premier League season well underway, certain players have risen above the rest, proving vital to their teams’ attacking success. These five stars have directly contributed to more than half of their team’s goals, making them key figures to watch for goal and assist bets in the coming fixtures. Let’s break down their performances and assess their chances of delivering once again.
Cole Palmer – Chelsea’s New Creative Spark
Since his summer move from Manchester City, Cole Palmer has quickly become a key player for Chelsea. The attacking midfielder has already scored six goals and provided five assists, contributing to 64.7% of the Blues’ total league goals this season. His creativity and clinical finishing make him a player to watch as Chelsea look to turn their season around.
Palmer’s ability to unlock defences will be tested again in the upcoming clash against Newcastle, where he scored and assisted in their meeting last season. Bettors should consider him for a goal or assist market this weekend.
Erling Haaland – Manchester City’s Goal Machine
Erling Haaland continues to show why he is one of the most feared strikers in world football. With 10 league goals already this season, he has directly contributed to 52.6% of Manchester City’s goals. Haaland’s ability to find the back of the net, even when his team isn’t at its best, makes him a constant threat.
City face newly-promoted Southampton next, who are struggling to secure their first win. This is the perfect opportunity for Haaland to add to his tally. Back him for another goal in a fixture where City are expected to dominate.
Mohamed Salah – Liverpool’s Attacking Engine
Mohamed Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool’s strong start to the season. With five goals and five assists, he has contributed to 66.7% of their goals, a staggering figure for the Egyptian winger. Salah’s form has been exceptional, delivering a goal contribution every 70 minutes.
Liverpool face Arsenal this weekend, and while Salah missed last season’s trip to the Emirates, he has scored in his last two league appearances against the Gunners. Expect Salah to have a major impact as Liverpool look to extend their winning run.
Bukayo Saka – Arsenal’s Creative Force
Bukayo Saka continues to develop into one of the Premier League’s best attacking talents under Mikel Arteta. With seven assists and two goals already this season, Saka has contributed to 60% of Arsenal’s goals. His creativity and finishing make him a key figure in the Gunners’ title push.
Arsenal will face Liverpool this weekend, a fixture in which he scored last season. Bettors should look at him for an assist or goal as Arsenal seek to keep pace at the top of the table.
Dwight McNeil – Everton’s Midfield Maestro
Dwight McNeil has been a standout performer for Everton, contributing to 66.7% of their goals this season. His six goals or assists in his last six Premier League games highlight his recent form, making him one of the most reliable creative midfielders in the league.
Everton face Fulham this weekend, and McNeil’s influence will be crucial. His strong underlying stats (xG and xA) suggest he’s well-placed to provide another key contribution in this fixture.
These five Premier League stars are driving their teams’ offensive success, and their chances of scoring or assisting in upcoming fixtures remain high. Bettors should keep a close eye on these talismen as they continue to shape their sides’ fortunes this season.
