Defence

Wolves, Man. City, Villa and Chelsea have excellent odds of a clean sheet this week as per our Fix Algorithm which sees Sá, Laporte, Dias, Mings, Cash and Alonso make the XI. Alonso (four) and Cash (three) are ranked second and fourth amongst defenders for shots on target (SoT) over the last six gameweeks while only Matip (29) has taken more shots in the box (SiB) this season than Laporte (28).

Midfield

Salah takes the armband, the Egyptian (17) is only second to Saka for SiB (18) over the last six gameweeks and no midfielder has created more 'big chances' (four) over that period. De Bruyne is top for chances created (19) amongst midfielders while only Mbeumo and Kulusevski (four each) have managed more assists than his three.

Only Saka (eight) and Zaha (nine) have landed more SoT than Son over the aforementioned period and no midfielder has scored more goals (six). As the below image from our Stats Sandbox feature shows, Coutinho (17) is second only to Watkins (18) for shots amongst Villa players over the last eight gameweeks.

Forwards

Pukki is the lone forward selected, as the below image from our Match Stats feature shows the Finnish international is top amongst Norwich players for goals (two), Expected Goals (xG) (2.3), SoT (five), assists (two) and chances created (eight) over the last five gameweeks.
