Gallagher has already beaten his combined tally (two goals, two assists) from 2020-21 when he was on loan at West Brom, and he won his first England cap against San Marino earlier this week.īRUNO FERNANDES (Watford v Manchester United) He has also provided plenty of quality in the final third, having a hand in a team-high six goals (four goals, two assists). On-loan Chelsea youngster Gallagher has been a revelation for Palace this season, with his all-action style proving a great addition to Patrick Vieira’s team. Only Bruno Fernandes (37) can better Alexander-Arnold’s 30 chances created in the Premier League this term, while no defender has more than his four assists.Ī resurgent Arsenal could cause Liverpool issues, so a clean sheet is no guarantee, but there is no defender more likely to nab you an assist or two.ĬONOR GALLAGHER (Burnley v Crystal Palace)
It is safe to say his critics are rather quieter at the moment. Liverpool’s right-back became something of a scapegoat – fairly or not, that’s a discussion for another day – in 2020-21. TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD ( Liverpool v Arsenal) He has been hugely influential at City, while it would also hardly be a surprise if they keep a clean sheet against an out-of-sorts Everton. In 17 games in 2021-22 across all competitions, Cancelo has already reached seven goal involvements (two goals, five assists), just one fewer than his haul of eight in 43 outings last term. JOAO CANCELO ( Manchester City v Everton)Ĭity’s versatile Portuguese full-back enjoyed an exceptional 2020-21, but he seems to have stepped things up even further this term. In terms of form goalkeepers this season, Aaron Ramsdale runs him close, but Mendy is the outstanding candidate. Not only has the Senegal international conceded the joint-fewest goals (four, excluding own goals, minimum of three appearances) in the Premier League, he also leads the way with 3.4 goals prevented, according to expected goals on target data. Leicester City may represent a tricky opponent for any team, particularly given their good options going forward, but if anyone can keep them at bay, it’s Mendy.
