4 to Score: Four first goalscorer tips for the weekend Premier League matches

In-form Watkins rates a threat for Villans

Danny Welbeck

Wolves v Brighton

Danny Welbeck notched a superb left-footed effort to double Brighton’s advantage in the Seagulls’ win against Leeds last week and the 30-year-old should be in confident mood against Wolves as a result. Welbeck has bagged three goals in his last six starts for Albion and he can punish a Wanderers team shorn of several key players.

Ollie Watkins

Aston Villa v Manchester United

Manchester United have conceded the first goal in nine of their 17 Premier League away assignments this season and Solskjaer’s slow-starters could suffer a similar fate at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins has registered three times in his last five starts for the Villans and two of those strikes were deadlock-breakers. Back the England man to catch United cold again on Sunday.

Michail Antonio

West Ham v Everton

Irons star Michail Antonio marked his return from a month on the sidelines with a match-winning brace against Burnley last week and the 31-year-old can pick up where he left off against Everton. The visitors have shipped the first goal in five of their last eight fixtures and Antonio has the power and pace to test The Toffees’ soft centre.

Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal v West Brom

Two-goal Alexandre Lacazette tormented the Baggies when Arsenal thumped WBA 4-0 at the Hawthorns in January and the Frenchman can attack Albion with similar vigour on Sunday. The 29-year-old put the Gunners in front against Sheffield United in his last Premier League appearance and Lacazette should have ample opportunity to repeat his feat against the division’s worst defence.
