Match preview

Adam Armstrong is notoriously one of the most high-volume shooters in the Premier League, ranking 13th in shots per 90 minutes with 2.99 last season. From teams outside the big six, Armstrong ranks second.

It is a surprise therefore to see the forward priced up at 6-5 to have three or more shots against Leicester, who allowed the fourth-most in the division last year.

The 25-year-old impressed in his cameo against Leeds last week and looks likely to start so the price, which is odds-on elsewhere, may come under pressure.

Almost all of the problems that Fulham suffered in their 0-0 draw with Wolves came from their right-hand side, where Kenny Tete was often caught out.

Bruno Lage’s men missed a number of chances to score from there and it seems likely that the channel between right centre-back and right-back will be an area opposing teams look to exploit against the Cottagers.

Yoane Wissa dropped out of the starting 11 for the game against Manchester United but with Brentford likely to move back to a 4-3-3 in this clash he could return on the left side of the forward line.

The 25-year-old scored seven times in 12 starts last season and given Fulham’s weakness down their right side, the 10-3 about Wissa scoring at any time is of interest.

Much has been made of Gabriel Jesus's move to Arsenal but equally important in their early success has been Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The arrival of the Ukrainian allows him and Granit Xhaka to interchange between the left side of defence and central midfield, and that rotation is crucial to the new style of play Mike Arteta is trying to implement. The pair have two assists and a goal between them in two games.

This seems to have been missed by some bookmakers and as a result the 10-3 about Zinchenko and the 9-2 about Xhaka either registering a goal or assist makes plenty of appeal against a Bournemouth team who look set to struggle to contain the new-look Gunners attack.
