Football... Only Bettor. Watch Sunday's Premier League preview now.

Who are the key players to watch out for currently in the Premier League? Who is racking up a high shot-count, or conversely who is most at risk to be cautioned?

Read on, as performance stats reveal valuable betting insights ahead of a busy Sunday schedule.

Back Brentford pair for shots on target

Bryan Mbeumo deservedly gets the lion's share of the plaudits for Brentford's excellent campaign but in recent weeks it is his two attacking comrades who have stepped up.

Yoane Wissa and Kevin Schade have each scored four goals apiece in the Bees' last five league fixtures with additional shots on target to boot. Combined they have taken on a hefty 15 SOT in those five games, or one every 30 minutes.

Wissa actually boasts better SOT numbers to Mbeumo across the season but notably the Congolese forward suffered a sustained dip throughout February and March, posting multiple SOT in only one of the eight games in this period. That aside, it was all singles or blanks fired.

The 28-year-old is back in the groove now and encouragingly for Bees fans, Schade has come along for the ride.

Watch out Fulham this Sunday.

Wissa is priced at 3/1 to have a SOT in each half at the Cottage.

Premier League shots on target: Players to watch

The good news for Everton fans is that Beto is back among the goals, firing two in two after a five-game mini-drought. Naturally this also translates to his SOT tally improving, the striker posting five in his last three showings.

He is fancied to extend on this at the weekend as the Toffees bid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park. Southampton have conceded 20.3 shots per 90 in their last five league fixtures.

In the East Midlands, two doomed sides meet playing only for pride and if that holds minimal interest for neutrals a fascinating build up bet does appeal.

Both Jamie Vardy and Ipswich's Julio Enciso have taken on three SOT in their last three outings and furthermore have seasonal averages separated only by a cigarette paper (0.81 for Vardy, 0.83 for the South American).

The veteran energy-drink aficionado should be backed to prevail, dead-set as he is on leaving Leicester on a high.

English Premier League - Top 5 Shots On Target

Iwobi goes to work early

Perhaps the Cottagers shouldn't be too concerned about Wissa and Schade's shot-threat, because in their ranks they also possess a player who is letting fly with increasing regularity.

In his last six league outings, Alex Iwobi has taken on 13 attempts on goal, scoring twice for good measure. That in itself is worthy of note but here's the accompanying kicker: eleven of them have come before the break.

That equates to a shot undertaken every 24 first-half minutes and when we factor in too Harry Wilson's five first-half shots last week against Everton is it any surprise that Fulham have converted inside 25 minutes in five of their last six home commitments.The Cottagers to be ahead on 30 minutes therefore is a shout at 7/2

Premier League first-half shots: Others to watch

His numbers may not be as dramatic of Iwobi's but Alexander Isak repeatedly racks up multiples of first-half shots for Newcastle, recent weeks being no exception. The prolific Swede took on three early attempts at home to Chelsea last weekend and four at home to Ipswich.

Where the doubt lies ahead of this weekend's trip to the Emirates however is that his numbers do clearly dip beyond the North-East.There are no such concerns about Gabriel Martinelli, whose impact in first-halves may be inferior to his Newcastle counterpart but with the Brazilian you get admirable consistency.

The winger has taken on at least one first-half strike in eight of his last nine appearances.

Saint turned sinner

Southampton's Lesley Ugochukwu catches the eye when it comes to fouls committed, the defensive midfielder erring on five occasions in his last two showings, both of which saw him subbed. That detail makes the breakdown of those five fouls all the more startling, equating to one every 25 minutes versus Man City and Leicester combined.

The Chelsea loanee was booked in each game.

Having not committed a single sin in his two games previous we could be accused of recency bias here but the 21-year-old's record in 2025 says otherwise, committing multiple fouls in 55% of his appearances.

He is 1/1 to commit 2 or more fouls at Goodison.

Premier League fouls committed: Others to watch

Leicester's James Justin was ticking along, minding his own business, and committing just singular fouls in pretty much all of his 2025 outings. Then he encountered Nicolas Dominguez last week at the City Ground and lost his head.

The full-back fouled on five occasions across the 90, inevitably booked in the process.

This time out, the 27-year-old comes up against Julio Enciso, a tricky, clever wide-man who has drawn eight fouls in his last two games.

Combined dip suggests low corner-count at Emirates

On the whole, Arsenal and Newcastle have held their own when it comes to winning corners this season.

The Gunners have been awarded 233, the fourth highest tally in the top-flight. The Magpies have won 198, six more than their total last term.

In recent weeks however we have seen a combined decline, nothing seismic but certainly enough to have us leaning towards a low-corner count in North London this Sunday.

In their last two outings, Eddie Howe's men have won just six, which is way down on the 18 they won in their previous two games. Arsenal meanwhile have won 15 corners across all comps in their last five fixtures. In their five prior they won 42.

These stats are especially pertinent because both teams are in the top five for goals scored from corners in 2024/25. Best then to swerve any tempting odds on defenders converting in this top-three clash and instead simply plump for under 8.5 corners at 15/8

Premier League corners won: Others to watch

Nottingham Forest continue to win a scant number of corners, just 3.1 per 90 across their last six games. This Sunday they travel to West Ham who have won a meagre three in their last two home fixtures.

Again, avoid any temptation to back a generously-priced centre-back getting on the scoresheet.
