David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.5m - Manchester United (a)

An away game against struggling United should hold no fear for Arsenal and Raya, who has three clean sheets in his past five games.

Daniel Munoz, Crystal Palace, £5m - Ipswich (h)

The Colombian has a goal or assist in six of his past seven games in all competitions, which is incredible for a right-back.

His 24 shots in the box is the second highest among defenders and a home tie against Ipswich is juicy, even though they have scored in their past five games.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool, £7.4m - Southampton (h)

The game's best defender at home to a team trying to avoid the worst-ever Premier League season?

It's a straightforward choice and your only worry is whether Alexander-Arnold is rested, with a cup final and Champions League fixtures coming up for Liverpool.

Conor Bradley is injured, though, and you can't second guess what Arne Slot might do.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £5.1m - Leicester (h)

The Spaniard keeps his spot in the team after last week's 15-pointer - and also because Chelsea have the second of two absolutely plum fixtures against struggling teams.

This time Leicester, who haven't scored in four games and have only 25 goals all season.

Mohamed Salah (captain), Liverpool, £13.8m - Southampton (h)

One of the easiest captain choices of the season, I'm expecting at least two returns.

Cole Palmer (vice captain), Chelsea, £11.1m - Leicester (h)

Despite blanking in Chelsea's 4-0 win last gameweek, you just can't ignore Palmer in what should be another comfortable victory at Stamford Bridge.

Another blank and there's a conversation to be had about selling him, but he had seven shots last week and an expected goals (xG) of 1.07.

Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool, £6.4m - Southampton (h)

The Hungarian has quietly become Liverpool's most reliable midfield option behind Salah, with five goals and seven assists this season.

He has goals in his past two games and five double-digit returns in 2024-25, which is the kind of explosiveness you want.

This is a smashing home game for Liverpool and definitely worth a triple up.

Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford, £8m - Aston Villa (h)

I always like a rested team at home taking on one that has played midweek and you have to fancy Brentford to get something against what should be a tired Villa side.

Mbeumo is their talisman with 20 returns now this season after his assist last gameweek.

Do you hold him for a tricky run coming up that includes Arsenal and Newcastle away? That will be a hard call to make soon.

Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea, £5.7m - Leicester (h)

Pedro Neto did a great job in this spot last week but Nkunku was perhaps even more impressive and has a much bigger goal threat than his Portuguese team-mate.

He's likely to be playing in the number nine position again, from where he had four shots and scored once against Southampton.

Beto, Everton, £5m - Wolves (a)

With West Ham at home next week, Beto is a great shout for the next two weeks and a decent budget option for the rest of the season.

Despite a first blank in five games last time out against Brentford, his xG was 0.62. For context, it was 0.63 against Leicester when he scored twice.

So he is getting in positions to score and the fixture list shouldn't necessarily scare you with this David Moyes-led Everton side.

Eddie Nketiah, Crystal Palace, £5.9m - Ipswich (h)

A plum fixture for a talented but inconsistent striker who has not had the impact many thought he would have after joining Palace from Arsenal.

Nketiah has often scored in spurts - remember that hat-trick last season v Sheffield United? He has that kind of upside and you could take a flyer on him this week.

Ipswich have conceded a lot recently, even letting in two against Southampton, so this is a golden opportunity with Mateta out injured.

Dean Henderson, Crystal Palace, keeper, £4.6m - Ipswich (h)

Joao Pedro, Brighton, striker, £5.4m - Fulham (h)

Rayan Ait-Nouri, Wolves, defender, £4.7m - Everton (h)

Jake O'Brien, Everton, defender, £4.5m - Wolves (a)

Team total cost: £98.1m

Savinho, Manchester City, midfielder, £6.2m

If you are looking at City's upcoming fixtures but don't want to sign a striker, then what about bargain Brazilian Savinho?

He has started City's past four league games and now has 10 assists - more than any midfielder except Salah and Bukayo Saka.

Pep roulette is less likely to be an issue for the rest of the season too, with City out of Europe, meaning his starting place could be fairly secure.

Tottenham - Bournemouth (h), Fulham (a), Chelsea (a)

Spurs play in the gameweek 29 blank and after the run of games above they have Southampton (h) and Wolves (a).

They've won three of their past four after a dreadful run so why not consider a midfield asset like Son Heung-min (£9.7m, 10 assists) or Brennan Johnson (£6.2m, nine goals)?
