The Premier League is back again and we do have some tasty encounters for all to enjoy. Saturday sees a blockbuster game between Liverpool and Manchester City as the Citizens host Jurgen Klopp’s men and more importantly, it will be Raheem Sterling’s first game against his former club.
There also is a relegation battle between Norwich and Chelsea, something that people would not have predicted at the start of the season. We look ahead to the 13th week of Premier League action and provide some tips for all those who are sucked into the world of Fantasy Premier League.
Here are five players that should be part of your team, if you don’t have them in already.
Manuel Lanzini – West Ham United
Many fans would be disappointed to know that Dimitri Payet would be out of action for a few months, but they should bring in his teammate from West Ham United, Manuel Lanzini. Not many knew about the Argentine before the start of the season, but Lanzini has been one of the Hammers standout players and is in form to bring in a few points against Spurs.
Olivier Giroud – Arsenal
With Theo Walcott still recovering from his injury, the onus for leading the attack falls on Olivier Giroud. The Frenchman blows a little hot and cold, but he should get a goal or two when he plays against West Bromwich Albion. The Arsenal striker will look to score in yet another away game and hopefully give Arsenal the three points to stay at the top of the Premier League table.
Dele Alli – Tottenham
What a week this has been for the Tottenham youngster, he has been brilliant for Spurs this season and also bagged a brilliant goal for England against France and he should be in your team. Dele Alli scored just his second goal this season against Aston Villa, but he will feature for Spurs more this season and costing just about £5 million, he should be in your team, plus he has a few man of the match awards to his name as well.
Willian – Chelsea
There really has been just one good thing about Chelsea this season and that is Willian. The Brazilian seems to be doing it all for the Blues, but his team aren’t getting the results. With Chelsea playing Norwich City at home and a few easy opponents in the coming weeks, at least Willian should be able to get a few goals and points, even if the team don’t get the results, which has been the story of the season so far for the Premier League champions.
Yannick Bolasie – Crystal Palace
Bolasie scored in the last game against Liverpool, even though he wasn’t in the greatest of form, he still was a handful for the defence. Crystal Palace are doing pretty well under Alan Pardew and with them playing Sunderland this game week, you can be sure that Bolasie will have a go against Sam Allardyce’s men and that awful Sunderland defence will certainly come under the scanner by the tricky Bolasie.
