First goalscorer predictions, tips and analysis for this weekend's Premier League matches.

Southampton v Wolves

Danny Ings

Danny Ings ended his dry spell in Southampton's FA Cup tie at Wolves on Thursday night and the Saints talisman could repeat the trick in the teams' Premier League clash at St Mary's on Sunday. The 28-year-old is Southampton’s leading league marksman with seven goals, and four of those were deadlock-breaking efforts.

West Brom v Man Utd

Edinson Cavani

Battle-hardened Uruguayan Edinson Cavani has become an increasingly influential figure for Man Utd. The 33-year-old scored United’s first goal against Everton last week, and the former Paris St-Germain star also notched his team’s opener at Fulham last month. The seasoned goal-getter can trouble another of the league’s relegation candidates at the Hawthorns.

Arsenal v Leeds

Patrick Bamford

England hopeful Patrick Bamford has moved up the goalscoring charts following two strikes in three games, and the 27-year-old is playing with enough confidence to worry Arsenal. Half of Bamford’s 12 league goals this term were openers for Leeds and the languid centre-forward can find more joy against an untrustworthy Gunners defence.

Everton v Fulham

Richarlison

Richarlison rediscovered his goalscoring touch with a brace against Tottenham in midweek and the explosive Brazilian forward will arrive at Craven Cottage with plenty of confidence. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin out injured, Richarlison could enjoy a more central role against Fulham and his goal-threat should heighten as a result.
