Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
Manchester City have reduced the lead at the top of the table. They face Nottingham Forest and will also play in Europe in the midweek. Pep will rest some of his players, especially in defence.
Chelsea vs Southampton
Chelsea will look to return to winning ways after three consecutive draws in the EPL. The Blues also have a chance to improve their attacking and defensive stats against a side ranked 20th in the league table.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool
Top-four contenders, Newcastle United will face Liverpool, who also wishes to reach the top of the table. The Magpies have drawn their last three matches. Liverpool, on the other hand, returned to winning ways after just earning one point in the previous four matches. This is one of the biggest matches of the weekend.
Manchester United vs Leicester City
Leicester City are on a two-match winning streak. They face a Manchester United side sitting in third place. This will be a tough game for Erik ten Hag’s men.
FPL Gameweek 24 Players to target.
The players are starting to settle since moving in during the winter transfer window. We bring you with a few suggestions that could help you with your team selection.
Goalkeepers:
David Raya (4.7): Brentford play host to Crystal Palace. Their goalkeeper has kept eight clean sheets and will aim for his ninth in this match. He also has 14 points to his name.
Aaron Ramsdale (4.9): Arsenal haven’t kept a clean sheet in the last three games. Their goalkeeper will be a good choice as the team will once again look to strengthen their hold at the top.
Defenders:
Thiago Silva (5.5): Chelsea have not been in the best of forms recently. However, there is a chance that they might return to winning ways against Southampton. They can also keep a clean sheet in this match.
Ben Mee (4.9): Brentford’s centre-back has a lot of Premier league experience. He is solid at the back and can score goals.
Manuel Akanji (5.0): The Swedish player is likely to return to the starting lineup. He has held City’s defence in some of the matches and has been a great addition to the team.
Midfielders:
Bukayo Saka (8.3): Bukayo Saka is the key player in Arsenal’s attack. He scored a penalty against Manchester City but was unable to save his side from losing the match. The player will look to take his side over the line against Aston Villa.
Kevin De Bruyne (12.4): KDB scored the opener in an important win against Arsenal. He will look to take his form into the next match and add more goal contributions to his name.
Endo Fernandez (5.0): The World Cup winner has added a bit of spark to Chelsea’s midfield. He has a chance to score his first goal. The player bagged his first assist in the last match.
Forwards:
Ivan Toney (7.6): Ivan Toney scored his 14th goal of the season and will be eyeing his 15th.
Aleksandar Mitrovic (6.9): The Serbian hasn’t scored a goal in his last five games. He has 11 goals to his name in the EPL and the same number of bonus points in FPL.
Joao Felix (7.5): The Portuguese bagged his 1st goal in Chelsea shirt in just his second start in the EPL. He will be the key behind CHelsea’s race to the top four.
