Anytime Goalscorer Tips: Premier League Weekend — Who to Back — OFLM article featured image

The anytime goalscorer market remains one of the most popular — and profitable — bets in football. With a packed Premier League weekend ahead, we have identified five players who look primed to find the net. Here are our top anytime goalscorer picks for this weekend’s action.

How We Pick Our Anytime Goalscorer Tips

Our selections are based on a combination of current form, expected goals (xG) data, fixture difficulty, and historical record against the weekend’s opponents. We look for players who are not only scoring regularly but are also getting into positions to score — high shot volumes, central positions, and set-piece involvement all factor into our analysis.


1. Mohamed Salah — Anytime Goalscorer vs Bournemouth — 4/7 (bet365)

Is there a more reliable goalscorer in the Premier League right now? Salah has 20 league goals this season and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. The Egyptian King has scored in 7 of his last 9 league starts and faces a Bournemouth defence that has conceded 14 goals in their last 6 away matches.

Salah’s xG per 90 of 0.71 is the highest in the division, and he’s been outperforming even that lofty figure. On penalties, on free kicks, cutting inside from the right — Salah has so many routes to goal. At 4/7 with bet365, the price is short but he’s the closest thing to a certainty in the anytime goalscorer market.

Verdict: Banker pick. You won’t get rich, but he’ll likely deliver.


2. Erling Haaland — Anytime Goalscorer vs Newcastle — 4/6 (Betfair)

The numbers speak for themselves: 19 league goals, a conversion rate of 24%, and a record of scoring in 9 of his last 11 home appearances. Haaland at the Etihad is a force of nature, and while Newcastle’s defence is well-organised, they have conceded in 8 of their last 10 away fixtures.

Haaland’s aerial dominance gives him an additional route to goal that few other strikers possess. He’s won more aerial duels inside the box than any other Premier League forward this season, and City’s delivery from wide areas — particularly from De Bruyne — is outstanding.

Verdict: Nailed-on selection. The Norwegian is a goalscoring machine at home.


3. Alexander Isak — Anytime Goalscorer vs Manchester City — 2/1 (William Hill)

Here’s where we start finding value. Isak has been in sensational form, scoring in each of his last three league starts and netting 16 goals this season. The Swedish striker’s movement is among the best in the Premier League, and his ability to score with either foot makes him a nightmare for centre-backs.

Yes, it’s away at the Etihad — never easy — but Isak has scored against every top-six side this season, including a brace against Arsenal. At 2/1 with William Hill, this represents outstanding value for a player of his quality and current form. Our best-value pick of the weekend.

Verdict: Top value. Isak scores against the big boys and 2/1 is generous.


4. Cole Palmer — Anytime Goalscorer vs Everton — 11/10 (Paddy Power)

Palmer has been the breakout star of the season, with 15 goals and 9 assists that have driven Chelsea’s unlikely title challenge. The England international is involved in everything good Chelsea do — taking penalties, free kicks, and constantly drifting into dangerous positions between the lines.

Everton’s trip to Stamford Bridge looks a daunting assignment. The Toffees have the worst away defensive record in the top half and have conceded 2+ goals in each of their last 5 away matches. Palmer has scored in 4 of his last 6 home appearances, and at 11/10 with Paddy Power, we’re more than happy to back him.

Verdict: Strong pick. Palmer at home against a leaky Everton defence? Yes please.


5. Ollie Watkins — Anytime Goalscorer vs Tottenham — Evens (Betfair)

Watkins completes our five-fold of weekend goalscorer picks, and he may well be the best selection of the lot. The Villa striker has 14 league goals and 5 in his last 6 outings. He’s in the form of his life and faces a Spurs defence that is, to put it politely, accommodating.

Tottenham have conceded at least once in 11 of their last 13 home matches, and their high defensive line plays directly into the hands of Watkins, whose pace and movement in behind are devastating. He scored twice in this fixture last season and has a strong record against Spurs overall — 5 goals in 7 meetings.

Verdict: Excellent pick. Watkins vs Spurs’ high line is a recipe for goals.


Weekend Goalscorer Accumulator

Feeling brave? Combining all five anytime goalscorer picks into an accumulator returns around 42/1 with bet365. We wouldn’t advise staking heavily on a five-fold, but a small punt could yield a tidy return. Alternatively, pick any three from the five for a more conservative treble — Salah, Haaland, and Watkins combined pays approximately 5/1.
