Noah Okafor 2+ shots on target<\/strong><\/td>\n2\/1 @ Boylesports<\/a>
(33.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n\n

Noah Okafor has made an impressive start to life at Leeds, netting seven times in the Premier League so far, with five of those coming in his last six outings. The Swiss forward is clearly hitting top gear and looks a strong candidate to find the net again on Friday night.<\/p>\n

He tested the keeper twice in matches against Wolves and Manchester United, and there\u2019s every reason to expect a similar threat here. Burnley have allowed more shots on target than any other side in the league this season (194), which only strengthens his case.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin Anytime Scorer<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/1 @ BetVictor<\/a>
(50%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has looked revitalised since arriving on a free from Everton last summer. With one eye on securing a place in England\u2019s World Cup squad, his return of 11 Premier League goals in the 2025\/26 season has put him firmly in contention.<\/p>\n

That tally is notable given he only hit double figures twice in nine seasons at Everton. He also found the net in his most recent home game, and Elland Road has been a happy hunting ground\u2014six of his league goals have come there. Against Burnley, he\u2019s been particularly effective too, scoring four times in his last six meetings with them during his Everton days.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
