Keeper & Defenders

David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H).

Arsenal's backline suffered a minor wobble following an injury to Gabriel, yet they've secured two clean sheets recently and have nine already with less than half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) and Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), Arsenal – vs Brighton (H).

This week features a triple-up on the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the best defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has drawn a blank in two consecutive outings.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 strikes in eight away games.

Timber continues to be a solid choice every week , possessing greater goal threat operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool, £5.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Managers would love half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if allowed.

Wolves drew another blank once again in 17 games during a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed 9 goals this campaign, with only two away from home. This is as safe a shutout prospect possible.

Omar Alderete, the Black Cats, £4m – vs Leeds (H).

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as an outstanding budget defensive pick. You can select him regularly in most games, given his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

Mason Mount, United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle United (H).

Mount will likely assume a bigger role for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, following Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best xG statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle side that has not excelled on the road – with just one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man could well inherit a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, potentially play as an attacking midfielder.

Florian Wirtz, the Reds, £8.1m – vs Wolves (H).

The German playmaker is poised for a significant score , with a home match against Wolves representing a perfect scenario for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns across four recent games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' display.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

Morgan Rogers, Villa, £7.2m – vs Chelsea (A).

With 30 points over two matches, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to scoring a goal with the smallest room in the box.

A fixture to Chelsea may appear a tough proposition, but Villa have won at that ground in two of recent years.

Strikers

Hugo Ekitike (Captain), the Reds, £8.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for his place, and having notched five goals in three games, the French striker receives the captain's armband for this round.

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, however because he has a tougher fixture on the road this week, the choice is to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
