Spread betting tips: Corner kings to face off

A huge weekend of Premier League awaits this weekend with the action set to begin on Friday night at the King Power Stadium and finish at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon with a blockbuster clash between two of the league's best teams.

There are plenty of big games taking place across the weekend and we've picked out some spread betting tips for five of them. Check them out below.

Total goals: Villa to feel the CL effects?

Aston Villa have been mightily impressive so far this season and are juggling their European commitments with the Premier League very well. Their defensive record in recent weeks has been particularly impressive, keeping a clean sheet in three of their last four matches.

If they can make that four-in-five at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, then the Villains would need to score four goals on their own to make the sell price of 3.10 unprofitable. Unai Emery's men haven't scored four goals in a single match all season and it's hard to see them changing that just a few days after a gruelling Champions League match with Bologna.

Shirt numbers: Foden to shine?

For whatever reason, Phil Foden has been nothing more than a fringe player for Man City so far this season, and has had to grow accustomed to a place on the bench. However, after his last-minute assist for the Stones winner last week, coupled with his strike a

The presence of Foden on the pitch against Southampton means that there is a #47 looking to score goals which makes the shirt numbers market very attractive especially when the buy price is just 77. Given this is a clash between the champions and the team currently in 19th position, expect the Citizens to run riot and blow this figure out of the water.

Bookings: Silva's aggressive Cottagers to visit Goodison

Marco Silva returns to his old stomping ground this weekend as Everton take on Fulham at Goodison Park. Although stereotypes would have you believe that Sean Dyche's side are among the most aggressive in the Premier League, their card tally this season pales in insignificance compared to Fulham's.

Last weekend, Fulham picked up four yellow cards and one red card which equates to 65 booking points. In fact, Silva's men have covered the 53 buy price on their own in two of their last four Premier League matches. Everton, on the other hand, are averaging just 22 booking points per match this season but playing to that average should be enough for the buy price to be blitzed here.

First Man Utd goal: Another dismal first half showing on the cards?

Man Utd's poor season to date has been well-documented and while they haven't exactly been prolific at any point, they have been particularly bad in front of goal in the first half of matches. They have scored just once before half-time in their eight league outings so far and although West Ham are shakey at the back, it's hard to see Ten Hag's men rectifying that this week.

United's recent form at the London Stadium isn't good, either, losing on both of their most recent visits to West Ham's home and failing to score in each match.

Corners: A game to be settled via set pieces?

Sunday's match between Arsenal and Liverpool is a big one and given how defensive Mikel Arteta's side have become this season, don't expect a classic like in previous meetings between these two clubs. Instead, this could quite easily be a match settled by who attacks and defends corners the best with both teams possessing huge weapons in both boxes.

Considering corners are an area of strength for both clubs, expect both teams to almost play for them. Arsenal are averaging eight corners per match this season while Liverpool are averaging six. If both teams play to their averages, then the buy price of 10.7 will be comfortably beaten.
