Player props preview

Liverpool v Nottingham Forest

Keeping Diogo Jota fit has been the primary issue throughout his Liverpool career but the striker has managed to stay healthy in the early part of this new season and has shone for Arne Slot’s side as a result.

The Portuguese forward has an impressive scoring rate for the Reds whenever he gets an opportunity and Slot seems to see him as the first-choice striker ahead of Darwin Nunez.

Jota also has a strong record against Nottingham Forest, scoring six times in his five appearances against the Tricky Trees.

While the performances of Mohammed Salah and Luis Diaz have been the highlights of the new season for Liverpool, Jota could take this opportunity to step into the limelight and the odds-against about him scoring is of interest.

Brighton v Ipswich

There is a fair case to be made that Brighton’s crop of wide players are among the best in the Premier League and they have impressed in the early part of the season, registering two goals and three assists between them.

The pace and trickery of the likes of Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh and Simon Adingra make them extremely difficult to mark and it may be worth taking a chance on the Ipswich full-backs struggling when they visit the Amex.

At least one of the opposition’s full-backs have been booked in two of Brighton’s three league games this term and there are big prices available for the likely Tractor Boys duo of Axel Tuanzebe and Leif Davis.

Tuanzebe was booked four times in 16 starts for Ipswich last season and Davis also picked up five cautions in the Championship.

Referee Sam Barrott has given out 12 cards in two games this term and could add the visitors’ full-backs to his book.

Tottenham v Arsenal

In Sunday's much-anticipated derby, Arsenal’s lack of midfield options means that they may have to call upon Ethan Nwaneri.

The 17-year-old is already the youngest player in Premier League history and has a remarkable scoring record when he does feature.

He netted ten times in 13 games for the under-21’s last season and scored twice in three games for England under-19’s in this international break.

Young stars making a big impact has been a theme in the Premier League in recent years and Nwaneri could be the latest to do so.
