Which players are the ones in form in the Premier League right now? Our Betfair player stats watch column will take a look at some of the best player performance stats for betting, the key players to watch this weekend and trending players to keep an eye on.

American Adams on best run for fouls committed

Bournemouth's American international Tyler Adams is on the longest streak for Premier League players this weekend in terms of giving fouls away - with at least two fouls in his last six league outings.

And with four of those six being 3+ foul games for Adams, then he's worth a look for both two and three fouls when Bournemouth host Man Utd on Sunday.

The Cherries top the foul charts in the Premier League and still have a chance of bagging a spot in Europe next season so they should be up for this one at the Vitality Stadium - and Adams is one of those full throttle players who just loves a foul.

Premier League fouls committed: Ones to watch

Levi Colwill has given away 2+ fouls in his last three games and in four of his last five and with Chelsea playing Everton on Saturday then he's got the perfect game to add to his tally.

Interestingly, those foul stats for Colwill are also true for first-half fouls, so he's one to back in that market.

Pick Paqueta in fouls against markets

Lucas Paqueta is the king of drawing fouls of late, as the West Ham man is on an eight-game run of being fouled at least twice - even including on substitue appearance as well.

Spreading the run out wider, it's 13 of 14 games with at least two fouls on Paqueta and with the Hammers facing Brighton, with the fourth-most fouls in the Premier League, then that run will surely continue.

Nine of those 12 games have been 3+ foul games against Paqueta as well, including in each of the last four, so he's worth looking at to be fouled three times at least at the Amex on Saturday.

The only player to get near Paqueta's recent streak is West Ham team-mate Mohammed Kudus, who has been fouled at least twice in his last five and in 10 of his last 12. Kudus and Paqueta to be fouled 2+ times at Brighton looks like a lively double.

Cunha on big run of shots on target

Matheus Cunha is on the longest streak of games with a shot on target of those playing this weekend, with the Wolves man hitting the target in his last nine Premier League outings - including two as a sub.

And there's no reason to shy away from backing Cunha as Wolves host relegated Leicester at the weekend - and with five of those nine games being multiple shots on target outings then that looks the bet to side with.

Cunha averages a shot and a half per 90 minutes played this season, but obviously against relegated opposition he should significantly outperform that number.

Premier League shots on target: Ones to watch

Jarrod Bowen has had a shot on target in his last six league games for West Ham so is worth watching at Brighton, while Rodrigo Muniz has had at least one in five of his past six - and with Fulham at relegated Southampton he's a solid shout to hit the target at St Mary's.

Isak enjoying first-half shots run

We all know about Alexander Isak's goal scoring exploits, but a different way to get him onside is with his first-half shots, as he tops the Premier League players this weekend with a first-half shot in seven of his last eight league games and the last five in a row.

Newcastle are at home to Ipswich on Saturday so Isak should fill his boots and should start quickly going on recent stats - which show he's had multiple first-half shots in six of his last 10, with five of those being three or more.

Expanding further, Isak has had a shot on target in the first half in four of his last five outings, so that could be another profitable route to backing him against Ipswich.

Premier League first-half shots: Ones to watch

Bournemouth's Evanilson has had a first-half shot in eight of his past nine league starts, with six of those being multiple shots in the opening 45 minutes so he's one to look at against Man Utd.
