Gianluigi Donnarumma, <\/b>Manchester City<\/b>, keeper, \u00a35.7m – <\/b>Brighton<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
There’s enough money in the budget this week to go with a premium keeper and City have as good a chance as any of a clean sheet against Brighton.<\/p>\n
Gabriel, <\/b>Arsenal<\/b>, \u00a36.6m – <\/b>Liverpool<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
The Brazilian is an easy every-week pick now he is fit again.<\/p>\n
Scores goals, gets defensive contribution (defcon) points, a good shout for clean sheets.<\/p>\n
And he faces a Liverpool side this week potentially without Hugo Ekitike, to go with the absent Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n
Malick Thiaw, <\/b>Newcastle<\/b>, \u00a35.1m – <\/b>Leeds<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
The 17-point hero from the last gameweek gets another starting spot.<\/p>\n
Leeds travel to St James’ Park and, even though they have been playing really well recently, they are in the bottom four for goals away from home, bottom six for shots on target and bottom eight for expected goals (xG).<\/p>\n
I fancy a Newcastle clean sheet.<\/p>\n
Ayden Heaven, <\/b>Manchester United<\/b>, \u00a33.9m – <\/b>Burnley<\/b> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n
Burnley have failed to score in five of their 10 home games and have only two goals in their past four matches.<\/p>\n
Heaven is playing well for United and has picked up defcon in four of his seven recent starts.<\/p>\n
And he is a budget steal!<\/p>\n
James Tarkowski, <\/b>Everton<\/b>, \u00a35.6m – <\/b>Wolves<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
Backing Everton defence did not work last time out as they shipped four to Brentford, but Tarkowski did reliably get defcon points again.<\/p>\n
If you think Wolves have suddenly turned a corner after thrashing West Ham at home, then maybe avoid Everton’s backline.<\/p>\n
But I see a Wolves side that has zero away wins and only four goals on the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
