Everton are without their two main strikers Calvert-Lewin (£8.1m) and Richarlison (£7.5m) to take on bottom of the league Norwich. Their fire power this season seems to be coming from their midfield. Names that we have mentioned previously on this blog are at incredible value. Gray (£5.8m), Doucouré (£5.5m) and Townsend (£5.4m) are Everton’s 3 highest scores in their squad ALL under the value of £6m. In Norwich’s first 5 games their right sided player has scored in 4/5 of the fixtures. It could be a huge coincidence but with his hot form don’t be surprised to see Gray’s involvement in the game on Saturday.  

Marcelo Bielsa has broken a lot of FPL manager’s hearts with the news off Bamford’s (£8.0m) injury. The talk last week was Raphinha (£6.5m) fitness for the fixture against Newcastle, he did play and contributed with a goal. That same question is roaming this week as well with the Brazilian having a 50% chance of playing with a Hip injury. With Leeds potentially being out with arguably their best two players the fixtures start to favour the hammers with the return of Antonio (£7.9m) after suspension. They will have a sour taste in their mouth after missing out on a point with a dramatic finish last week with the late goal and last kick of the game penalty miss against Man United. With Benrahma (£6.5m) and Antonio back on the pitch together, I fully expect the pair to kick on from the way they were playing before Antonio’s Red card. 

New boys Brentford have started their life in the Premier League with 8 points in their first 5 games. A start a lot of people would not have predicted. They might find it more difficult this week with Klopp’s unbeaten side coming to visit. Brentford are only 2nd behind Man City for xG and big chances conceded this season. Although this is impressive for the newly promoted side, we all know Liverpool will have too much strength for them. Mane (£11.9m) seems to have hit a lot of form recently and with Mo Salah (£12.6m) performing week in, week out, I find it hard to see the Brentford defence keeping the balls out of their net. The big disappointment last week was the news of Trent (£7.6m) missing the game (Especially when we tipped him for captain) due to illness. Klopp has confirmed he is back in training and I have no doubt he will be eager to get at the Brentford defence.  

The last fixture I am going to look at is the North London Derby. Arsenal have won their last two fixtures keeping clean sheets in both games since Ramsdale (£4.5m) took over the NO.1 spot. Spurs have gone in the opposite direction, losing their last two games 3-0 after not conceding in their first 3 opening games. Everyone was thinking maybe this is a new Spurs side... Nope same old Spurs, so unpredictable but yet so predictable. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Harry Kane (£12.2m) get his first Premier League goal of the season. He scored mid-week in the cup and has a great record against Arsenal (Especially penalties).  As I said, they are so unpredictable that they could make Arsenal look like the invincible side; you just don’t know. Either way I think it will be a game both sides would be more cautious of losing more so than going out and going for the win. DRAW!
