The English Premier League is back in action this weekend for matchday 2 fixtures, which sees some interesting matchups taking place across the EPL betting board.
For this week’s games, we’re focusing on two player shots-on-target prop bets: one in the Arsenal vs. Leeds fixture and another in the Fulham vs. Man Utd matchup.
Some other interesting matchups this weekend include Man City vs. Tottenham and Newcastle vs. Liverpool, with the odds available at the top-rated sportsbooks.
Leeds United vs. Arsenal FC
Saturday, August 23, 2025 – 12:30 PM EDT at Emirates Stadium
Gunners Aim for Back-To-Back Wins
Arsenal started the season off with a 1-0 win in Old Trafford, which now marks the 3rd game in a row that they won at Old Trafford by a scoreline of 1-0.
Although Arsenal won the game, many fans were left dissatisfied with the team’s performance.
At the end of the day, you take wins on the road on the opening day of the season, no matter how you get them. We expect a much better performance from the Gunners on home soil against newly promoted Leeds United.
Leeds won 1-0 on matchday 1 with a home victory over Everton, having scored their goal from the penalty spot in the 84th minute.
Gyökeres To Shine on Home Turf
It was a difficult debut for Viktor Gyökeres, who managed zero shots and was subbed off at the 60th minute with a 6.0 match rating.
We believe he will turn up the heat during this matchday 2 fixture. Gyökeres has been a prolific goalscorer in recent seasons at Sporting Lisbon, having scored 97 goals in 103 appearances.
Even his spell at Coventry City was strong, with 40 goals in 97 games.
Take Gyökeres to have at least two shots on target in this game at -120 betting odds. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him score, but the Caesars Sportsbook (check our Caesars Sportsbook Review has Gyökeres juiced to -140 to get on the scoreboard.
There is much better value in him to have two shots on target in this game.
Manchester United vs. Fulham FC
Sunday, August 24, 2025 – 11:30 AM EDT at Craven Cottage
Manchester United Already Under Pressure
Manchester United might have frustrated Arsenal on home soil during the first round of the EPL, but they still suffered a 1-0 loss and come into this road game already on the back foot and under pressure.
Although a loss here wouldn’t be the end of their season, it also won’t help that they just finished above the relegation zone last season (their worst finish in over 35 years in the EPL) and suffered back-to-back losses to start this campaign.
Let’s not write Man Utd off just yet. There’s every chance they win this game, but if we had to pick a result, we believe a draw is most likely—especially with Fulham being at home. Fulham drew away to Brighton on matchday one.
Muniz Overvalued on Home Soil
We cannot believe the value we are getting on Rodrigo Muniz to have 2+ shots on target in this EPL matchup.
There’s no doubt his odds are inflated because of the opponent, but we beg to differ. Man Utd look vulnerable right now, and even in the case of a resounding United win, we still like Muniz’s chances of recording 2+ shots on target at +240 betting odds.
Muniz scored Fulham’s only goal during the tie against Brighton, and he finished last season as Fulham’s 3rd top goalscorer. Furthermore, Muniz averaged the most shots on target per game for Fulham last season, with 1.8 per game.
We believe this is one of the strongest bets this weekend would happily bet it down to as low as +150.
