Defender: Trent Alexander-Arnold vs Spurs (H) - 4.9 points 

Liverpool have been the standout defence in the Premier League this season in their quest to secure the title, keeping a leading tally of 14 shut-outs. Two of those clean sheets have come in the four Gameweeks since the international break. 

Trent Alexander-Arnold returned from injury as a substitute against Leicester City, scoring the only goal of the game to secure another win for his side. He is the top-scoring defender in the game for this season, ahead of his team-mate Virgil van Dijk.

That lead is largely helped by the nine goal involvements which sit alongside the 12 clean sheets he’s participated in. He has six assists, including one in the reverse of this fixture against Spurs back in December.

Midfielder: Mohamed Salah vs Spurs (H) - 8.1 points

Mohamed Salah reclaims his rightful spot as the top pick for AI this Gameweek and the automatic favourite for captain. The Egyptian has been sensational this season, with 45 goal involvements from 33 appearances.

We have seen a dip in his form since the international break, where he’s produced just one assist in the last four Gameweeks. In this time he’s had six big chances on goal and created three big chances and so he’s been somewhat unlucky not to deliver more.

He was the star man when these two sides last met, with two goals and two assists in a 6-3 win netting him 21 fantasy points, his biggest return of the season so far. He has 17 double-digit hauls this season ahead of a game where Liverpool could secure the Premier League title at Anfield.

Forward: Alexander Isak vs Ipswich Town (H) - 7.1 points

Plenty of managers parted company with Alexander Isak last weekend in favour of assets who played twice but many will be looking to reinvest in the Newcastle United striker ahead of an attractive home game against an Ipswich Town side who are all but relegated.

Isak has been in fine form since the international break, leading the way for big chances with six. In this time he has two goals and one assist from five appearances. That takes him up to 27 goal involvements for the season, 21 goals and six assists. 

He scored a hat-trick in the 4-0 win when these two sides met in December. Newcastle United have been in great goalscoring form in recent games, with a leading 15 goals scored across this period, which bodes well ahead of this fixture.

Hidden Gem: Matheus Cunha vs Leicester City (H) - 6.3 points 

Wolves have one of the key fixtures of the weekend as they entertain Leicester City at Molineux who are already relegated. The Foxes come into this game in a dismal run of form, without a clean sheet on the road all season and conceding eight goals in their last four games.

Matheus Cunha has cemented his place back in the starting eleven after two significant periods of suspension this season, scoring from the bench in Gameweek 32 before winning a crucial free-kick against Manchester United last time out to register a fantasy assist.

When on the pitch he’s been sensational this season, with 19 goal involvements from 25 starts. Wolves have won five consecutive league games, with Cunha scoring in the reverse of this fixture, which resulted in a 3-0 win for his side.
