Opta Stats: Cisse to finally grab a league goal

Papiss Cisse is surely due a goal for the Magpies

Christian Crowther sheds some Opta-style light on scorer markets for the weekend's action...

Grant Holt - Aston Villa v Norwich (Saturday 12:45)
Grant Holt has netted in each of his last three Premier League matches
Norwich's number nine proved to everyone last season that he could replicate his immense goal-scoring exploits from the lower divisions in England's top flight. Holt finished with 17 to his name and, although down on his previous 20+ tallies, it was still a remarkable accomplishment given his side's limitations. Holt has hit a purple patch after a distinctly quiet opening few games and he will relish trying to get one over the departed Paul Lambert.
Recommended Bet: Back Grant Holt to score @ 3.57n/a

Edin Dzeko - Man City v Swansea (Saturday 17:30)
Edin Dzeko has scored six goals in his last eight Premier League appearances
It's easy to sympathise with Edin Dzeko's viewpoint that he is not just a 'super sub' as stats like these clearly make a case for his inclusion from the first whistle. The big Bosnian so often plays second fiddle to the Argentinian duo of Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero, but when given the chance this season he has taken it. A virtuoso performance in securing the points against West Brom should ensure his name is on the teamsheet here.
Recommended Bet: Back Edin Dzeko to score @ 2.021/1

Papiss Cisse - Newcastle v West Brom (Sunday 15:00)
Papiss Demba Cisse scored 13 goals in his first 13 Premier League appearances, but has scored none in his last nine
You can't keep a good man down and that man is Papiss Cisse. The Senegalese is still without a Premier League goal to his name this season even though he has notched twice in cup competitions within the last month. Some of his goals last season where truly stunning though right now he would chew your arm off just for a tap in. What better opponents to grab that elusive goal against than West Brom, whom he bagged a brace against last season.
Recommended Bet: Back Papiss Cisse to score @ 2.75n/a

Javier Hernandez - Chelsea v Man United (Sunday 16:00)
Javier Hernandez has scored in four of seven appearances against Chelsea in all competitions and in three of the last four
With the signing of Robin van Persie and the emergence of Danny Welbeck last season, Javier Hernandez's explosive debut campaign had started to fade into memory so far this. However, the little pea duly delivered against Braga with a match-winning brace when finally handed a start and now Sir Alex Ferguson has a selection dilemma. The injury to Shinji Kagawa may just be the green light Hernandez needs and his record against Chelsea speaks for itself.
Recommended Bet: Back Javier Hernandez to score @ 4.72n/a
