Five attackers under the age of 25 make our shortlist of five goalscorers to watch this weekend, featuring two Englishmen, two Frenchmen and a German teenager.
They are all in superb form and ready to prove Aristotle right when he said “good habits formed at youth make all the difference”.
Back Bukayo Saka to score at anytime @ 15/8
The England international has bagged in three of his last six Premier League appearances for Arsenal, who are under pressure to perform after back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Everton.
The Gunners remain clear at the top of the table, but can ill-afford another slip-up when they host a Brentford side that are much better on their own turf.
Saka scored in the corresponding fixture against the Bees last season — a 2-1 home win — and has produced four of his seven-goal tally for the season in his last five appearances at Emirates Stadium.
Back Kylian Mbappe to score at anytime @ 7/5
The World Cup’s Golden Boot winner has tormented Monaco almost every time he has faced them in the years since he left the Principality club for Paris.
Mbappe has scored nine goals in 10 Ligue 1 appearances against the Monagasques and will want to break a two-game scoring drought this weekend.
It is not as if the 24-year-old has been in bad form since his hat-trick against Argentina in December as he bagged on his Ligue 1 return against Strasbourg and then hit five in PSG’s 7-0 Cope de France romp at Pays de Cassel.
Back Jamal Musiala to score at anytime at evens
The Stuttgart-born starlet has struck in his last two Bayern Munich games to take his season’s tally in the Bundesliga to 10 in 16 starts and two substitute appearances.
The German champions are facing relegation-threatened Bochum at home this weekend, whom they thrashed 7-0 at their place in August and by the same score in the corresponding home fixture last season.
So Bayern goals should be on the menu this weekend and Musiala, who has been playing in an attacking midfield role, can maintain his record of a goal involvement almost every time he plays this season.
Back Randal Kolo Muani to score anytime at 17/10
Two more goals in a 4-2 midweek cup win over Darmstadt took Kolo Muani up to a dozen strikes for Eintracht Frankfurt.
He made a slow start in the Bundesliga, but has now hit the back of the net four times in his last three starts and can wreak havoc against a Cologne defence that has kept only one clean sheet in their last seven home league games.
Back Folarin Balogun to score at anytime @ 4/6
The England Under-21 international is the top scorer in France’s Ligue 1 with 14 goals for a mid-table team outscoring Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
The 21-year-old’s importance to this Reims team cannot be underestimated.
He has scored 54% of their league goals (14 out of 26) — a higher share of any player for a team in Europe’s top five leagues.
He scored three goals in four Championship matches towards the end of the campaign
Next up for Reims is a home date with lowly Troyes, who have lost five of their last six games in all competitions.
The visitors have also conceded nine goals in their last two Ligue 1 away games, which suggests Balogun could add to his impressive goal tally on Sunday.
