Which players are having a storming end to the season? 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.
Yoane Wissa is the hottest player in the Premier League for goals right now as nobody can match his current streak of scoring in four games in a row following his strike against Manchester United on Sunday.
He's also thrown in an assist for good measure.
That's nine in 16 so he's pretty consistent, but this is his best scoring streak of the season ahead of a great match-up against relegated Ipswich Town on Saturday. The Tractor Boys having let in 13 goals in their last five.
Wissa scored in the reverse fixture, which was a 4-3 thriller, and there's every chance of another glut of goals at Portman Road, which makes Wissa top of the list of potential goalscorers this weekend.
Jarrod Bowen is the only player who can match Wissa's five goal involvements in the last five games, so he's the man to back as West Ham visit Man Utd on Sunday.
Bowen has scored three and assisted two so is best backed in the goal or assist market.
Bournemouth's Evanilson is also worth a look as he's been involved in five goals in his last six, but I think he's a better bet elsewhere, as you'll see below.

And so to Evanilson, who has become a real problem for Premier League defenders this season, and we're looking at the shots run he's on ahead of Bournemouth v Aston Villa in Saturday's early evening kick-off.
He's had at least three shots in seven of his last eight games, and that's expanded to nine out of 10 in terms of league starts so backing him for at least three shots again at Villa Park looks a nice bet.
Plenty of players can go toe-to-toe with Evanilson for overall shots numbers, but having that floor of three in a game is great consistency.
Villa are a more than decent side at home but they're under pressure after sliding behind in the race for Champions League spots - with the Cherries only one place below them as they chase European football themselves.
Alejandro Garnacho has 21 shots in the last six league games, which is more than Alexander Isak has managed, just to show how involved the Argentinian is for Manchester United.
He's had at least two in 12 of last 14 games and also managed some big totals in that time, with four against Fulham, six against Forest and eight against Bournemouth a couple of weeks ago. Only four sides have allowed more shots on target than West Ham so it's also a great match-up.
Alexander Isak is on a great run of shots on target, and Yoane Wissa we've already mentioned, so we're going a bit more under the radar here with Wissa's Brentford team-mate Kevin Schade one to watch in this market.
He's scored three goals in his last two games and hit the target in three straight outings, so we're hopefully getting in on him as he starts a longer run of testing opposition keepers.
And with Brentford playing Ipswich at the weekend, he's got the perfect opportunity to keep that run going so is well worth backing.
Two players of interest this weekend could both be starting solid runs like Schade.
Firstly, Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga has the perfect game to extend his recent run as they face relegated Leicester at the City Ground.
Elanga has gone on a couple of bursts of four-game streaks with a shot on target, and in the last two he's managed three against Brentford and two at Crystal Palace. With the toothless Foxes coming for a local derby, it makes sense to back Elanga in the shots on target markets again.
And just a word on Ipswich's Julio Enciso, who scored and had three shots on target against Everton last weekend and now gets a favoured opponent in Brentford - who he registered three shots on target against from a whopping eight attempts earlier in the season. This could be the perfect storm for him.
Marshall Munetsi of Wolves should be your go-to guy in terms of backing fouls, as he's given away two in three straight games and in four of his last five.
Wolves host Brighton at Molineux on Saturday and, with the teams second and fourth in terms of Premier League fouls this season, it's a great fixture for backing fouls all round.
Vitor Pereira's side are making a flying finish to the season so expect a full throttle game here. Munetsi is a great bet for fouls as a single or as a solid leg of a Bet Builder.
If you're not backing Calvin Bassey for fouls every time Fulham play then you really should be by now. I've mentioned him before in the column here and he's continued to deliver with two fouls in four of his last five.
The aggressive defender has given away two fouls against Liverpool, Chelsea, Southampton and Villa - and now Fulham play Everton on Saturday which should be a great fixture to extend his run.
