Matchweek 8 in the Premier League begins on Friday, and I've pinpointed my best Premier League goal scorer bets for the weekend. 

Erling Haaland will headline my picks, followed by Morgan Rogers, Bryan Mbeumo, and in-form Alexander Isak, who will be looking to fire Liverpool past high-flying Brighton. 


Premier League best goal scorer bets: Matchweek 8

Here are my Premier League predictions for Matchweek 8 as part of our soccer picks this week.

Match Bet Odds 
Aston Villa vs. Manchester City Erling Haaland anytime goal -125 via DraftKings
Chelsea vs. Tottenham Morgan Rogers anytime goal +185 via DraftKings
Manchester United vs. Everton Bryan Mbeumo anytime goal +170 via DraftKings
Liverpool vs. Brighton Alexander Isak anytime goal +140 via DraftKings

Best Premier League goal scorer bet: Erling Haaland (-125 at DraftKings)

Haaland cannot be stopped this term. He leads the top flight with eight goals in seven appearances, and the Norwegian has now found the back of the net five times in his last three games across all competitions. 

The striker propelled Man City to a 3-2 victory last weekend with a brace against Ipswich Town, and Haaland continues to lead the Premier League in non-penalty xG, shots, SOG, and touches in the opposition box. 

While he's scored just once in five career meetings with Aston Villa, the Lions have been vulnerable defensively this term, conceding 11 times.

Haaland will keep it rolling.

Morgan Rogers (+185 at DraftKings)

Life at Chelsea has been pleasant for Morgan Rogers so far. He's played a crucial part in their electrifying attack, already bagging four Premier League goals. 

Although he failed to hit the back of the net in last weekend's victory over Everton, Rogers has still notched six shots in his previous three appearances and consistently gets himself into dangerous areas. 

He ranks in the 92nd percentile in touches in the opposition box and also sits in the 86th percentile in shots on target. Rogers' track record against Spurs is also impressive, netting twice in four meetings.

Bryan Mbeumo (+170 at DraftKings)

Bryan Mbeumo has been one of Manchester United's few bright spots this season. He's scored four of their 10 Premier League goals, serving as the club's most dangerous threat going forward. 

The Cameroonian international has found the back of the net in two of his last four appearances across all competitions, and he has five SOG in his previous four outings. 

19 of his 24 shots this term have been inside the box, and he's also consistently getting into dangerous positions in the final third (35 touches in the opposition box). 

I'll take Mbeumo to make his presence felt against Bournemouth.

 Alexander Isak (+140 at DraftKings)

A healthy Alexander Isak was always going to spell trouble for the rest of the Premier League, and that's certainly been the case so far. The Swede is firing on all cylinders for Liverpool, already scoring five in six appearances. He's bagged more than half of the Reds' league goals. 

Isak was once again the difference-maker in last weekend's thrilling victory over Brentford, netting the winner in the 70th minute. That's now three goals in his last four for club and country. 

16 of Isak's 17 shots have been from inside the box, and he ranks in the 90th percentile or better in xG, non-penalty xG, and xG on target.

Liverpool's flourishing frontman will produce the goods against Brighton.
