Bukayo Saka (Fixture: Brentford, Home)
Bukayo Saka’s attacking returns recently have been nothing short of sensational, scoring seven and assisting two in his last six games. His underlying numbers have been impressive too, suggesting the attacking returns will keep on coming this week at home to Brentford.
Arsenal have a favourable home fixture for goals against Brentford, who are suffering from lots of defensive injuries. The Bees have seen a big decline in their defensive numbers compared to last season, conceding plenty of big chances. On the opposite side of things, the Gunners have scored 68 goals this season, the most in the league.
He is pretty much guaranteed to start and play 90 minutes... unless Arsenal are winning comfortably like last time out against Sheffield United. Saka’s also on penalties and carries a duel threat as he can bag goals and assists.
William Saliba (Fixture: Brentford, Home)
Arsenal have the best defensive record in the league this season. The centre-back partnership of Gabriel and Saliba has been rock solid. They defend so well as a team, limiting the opposition to few high-quality chances.
I also like the attacking threat Saliba carries as Arsenal have scored the most goals from set pieces this season, with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice providing quality deliveries into the box for the likes of Saliba to attack.
At home to Brentford there’s a chance for returns at both ends for the young French centre-back.
Dominic Solanke (Fixture: Sheffield United, Home)
Dominic Solanke has been in sensational form this season scoring 14 Premier League goals; only Haaland, Watkins and Salah have scored more. Bournemouth have been a decent attacking outfit so far this season and when the goals flow at home to a leaky Sheffield United, he should be involved in the action.
Sheffield United have conceded more than any team this season so l expect a home win for Bournemouth and plenty of goals to boot. Should that happen, it’ll likely be a decent fantasy return for their number nine.
Illia Zabarnyi (Fixture: Sheffield United, Home)
Zabarnyi is a bit of a boring pick I’ll admit, but I couldn’t resist a Bournemouth defender at home to Sheffield United. They are having a terrible season, which seems to have somehow got even worse recently so you have to back pretty much any team against them right now.
The Ukrainian is nailed on to start too, which is important for fantasy returns. The likes of Kerkez have slightly more attacking threat but I prefer the security of minutes. Indeed, Zabarnyi has played 90 minutes in every Premier League game for Bournemouth.
Carlton Morris (Fixture: Crystal Palace, Away)
Carlton Morris has done well in his and Luton’s first season in the Premier League, scoring eight and assisting six. He lost his place in the team for a while but Morris is nailed to start since the injury to Elijah Adebayo so he should play 90 minutes this week.
Luton face Crystal Palace away this week, a team who are in the bottom six for goals conceded and although Luton will be underdogs I’m still backing them to score at Selhurst Park. Morris is also on penalties and has scored every penalty he’s taken in the league this season.
James Ward-Prowse (Fixture: Burnley, Home)
I think James Ward-Prowse has great potential this week. Burnley are terrible at defending set pieces and as we all know, JWP whips in set pieces better than anyone in the league. Therefore, there is a very strong chance for assists in this one.
Furthermore, Burnley concede plenty of goals from open play, too, giving Ward-Prowse a decent chance of goals and assists from open play too.
So far this season the ex-Southampton midfielder has produced five goals and seven assists in the league and he’s started every league match for the Hammers.
