There is another action-packed weekend of football to embrace as some cracking ties take place in the Premier League, including the two form teams of the moment in Aston Villa and Newcastle going head-to-head.

Here are five goalscorers to follow from the Premier League this weekend.

Without a win in five, this is a vital game for West Ham in their bid to bolster their lowly league position and they will be expected to find a way past relegated Southampton, who have lost 26 of their 32 top-flight matches.

However, Saints’ matches tend to be littered with goals and that should be music to the ears of Jarrod Bowen, who is West Ham’s chief scoring threat in the absence of Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville.

The England international has eight goals in 28 league appearances this season, one of which came in West Ham’s 1-0 victory at Southampton earlier in the campaign.

These are the two in-form teams in the Premier League right now and that should lead to a high-scoring encounter. 

Newcastle made it five victories in a row with Tuesday's 5-0 rout of Crystal Palace, but Aston Villa have won four league games in a row and are unbeaten in 15 home league matches.

With goals likely, Newcastle talisman Alexander Isak can build on his tally of 21 goals in 28 league appearances. The Swede has netted three goals in his last three league meetings with the Villans.

The Champions League is top priority for Arsenal, who sealed their place in the semi-finals with Wednesday's 2-1 win at Real Madrid, and they may not have things all their own way at Ipswich.

The Tractor Boys are Championship bound but a 2-2 draw at Chelsea last weekend shows they are determined to go down in style and both teams have scored in nine of their last 10.

Arsenal have conceded in four of their last five league games and they should expect a tough test from the energetic Liam Delap, who leads Ipswich’s scoring charts with 12 goals in 31 league games.

Four straight victories has eased Wolves’ relegation fears and this could be a good time to be heading to Manchester United, who may still be on a high from their remarkable comeback against Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday.

Norwegian international Jorgen Strand Larsen has certainly found his feet at Molineux, striking up an excellent partnership with Matheus Cunha, and he should be oozing with confidence having scored five goals in his last four games.

Having suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats to Aston Villa and Everton, Nottingham Forest need to get the show back on the road at Tottenham if they are to maintain their position in the Champions League places.

Towering striker Chris Wood returned from a month out to start in the latest reverse to the Toffees but he may have needed that outing. He has scored 18 goals in 30 Premier League appearances, so may be able to get back to form at a distracted Spurs.
