Chris Wood

Burnley v Leeds

Leeds have conceded first in more than half of their Premier League away games this season and in-form Chris Wood can take advantage this weekend. The New Zealander has been in blistering form recently, with a goal at Fulham making it eight goals and three assists in his last eight outings for the Clarets.

Danny Ings

Southampton v Fulham

Southampton’s star striker returned from injury in style last time out as his brace helped Southampton to a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace and he can impress again when he faces a Fulham side who have conceded first in three of their last four games. Ings has scored four goals in his last four top-flight appearances and has netted Southampton’s first on seven occasions this season.

Heung-Min Son

Tottenham v Wolves

Heung-Min Son’s goalscoring exploits tailed off in the early stages of 2021 but the South Korea international has leapt back into form over the last month. His goal in Tottenham’s 3-1 defeat to Leeds took his tally to 21 competitive goals for the season and he has scored in four of his last five Premier League appearances.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Everton v Sheffield United

A mid-season slump saw Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s challenge for the Premier League Golden Boot slip but the Everton forward looks as if he will end the season strongly. He scored the only goal of the game against West Ham last time out and has netted Everton’s first goal on ten occasions this season, while the relegated Blades have conceded first in 27 of their 35 matches so far this season.
