So, this could present a decent opportunity for the Slovakian goalkeeper to add to his clean sheet tally. His opposite number <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/466fb2c5\/Aaron-Ramsdale?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Ramsdale<\/a> has not conceded in the last three matches. So, he is also someone that should be considered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4b40d9ca\/Nick-Pope?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Pope<\/a> has a decent shot at a clean sheet as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Defenders<\/h3>\n<p>Defenders from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newcastle United<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/bournemouth\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bournemouth<\/a> should be considered as that match could end goalless. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d9ba39fc\/Diego-Rico?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diego Rico<\/a> has been pretty amazing for his price. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9050ddc4\/Jetro-Willems?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jetro Willems<\/a> could be a good option as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/burnley\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Burnley&#8217;s<\/a> defence will look to tighten things up this week after last week&#8217;s horror display at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/sheffield-united-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sheffield United<\/a>. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.burnleyexpress.net\/sport\/football\/burnley-striker-chris-wood-set-to-return-against-west-ham-but-will-he-be-the-only-change-1-10089650\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sean Dyche might make one or two changes<\/a> so one must be careful while picking defenders from the clarets.<\/p>\n<p>One just cannot ignore <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/cd1acf9d\/Trent-Alexander-Arnold?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>. Despite his tough match-up this week, he still should create some good opportunities for the attackers and could get attacking as well as defensive points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/75a72a99\/Ricardo-Pereira?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ricardo Pereira<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d2424d1b\/Ben-Chilwell?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Chilwell<\/a> are decent options as well for the in-form <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/leicester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester City<\/a> side.<\/p>\n<h3>Midfielders<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ee38d9c5\/James-Maddison?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Maddison<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/56f7a928\/Youri-Tielemans?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youri Tielemans<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/819aa8e7\/Ayoze-Perez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ayoze P\u00e9rez<\/a> are all good picks this week. The tricky thing is to pick the right one for this particular week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Man\u00e9<\/a> has been in superb form this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> will look to him to provide the breakthrough against the defending champions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1bf33a9a\/Christian-Pulisic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Pulisic<\/a> is hot right now and perhaps it is the right time to get on the Pulisic train. With <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9674002f\/Mason-Mount?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mason Mount<\/a> doubtful, his chances of starting are much better. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=8b9ebd03,1f85d0c8,96f82d0a,2b79d531&amp;search=Willian&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Willian<\/a> is also a decent pick.<\/p>\n<p>Sheffield United have been very impressive this season and will not make things easy for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> this week. However, one has to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/92e7e919\/Son-Heung-min?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Son Heung-min<\/a> who scored a brace in midweek and has the potential to go big in any game.<\/p>\n<h3>Strikers<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/45963054\/Jamie-Vardy?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Vardy<\/a> is the highest-scoring FPL player so far this season and he has a really mouth-watering tie against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a>. Looking at recent matches, there is absolutely no doubt that Vardy loves playing against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/11\/05\/granit-xhaka-arsenal-captaincy\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Gunners<\/a>. He has scored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/jamie-vardy\/bilanzdetails\/spieler\/197838\/gegner\/11\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eight goals in nine matches<\/a> against them including<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/spielbericht\/index\/spielbericht\/3050537\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> two in this particular fixture last season<\/a>. He seems like an absolute must-have pick this season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/f586779e\/Tammy-Abraham?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tammy Abraham<\/a> ended his barren spell last week with a goal against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/watford\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watford<\/a>. He has another favourable fixture this week at home to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crystal Palace<\/a>. The Eagles have a decent defense but one has to emphasise <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a>&#8216;s lethal attack line. They just played out a thrilling eight-goal encounter against Ajax.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/0745b37d\/Teemu-Pukki?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Teemu Pukki<\/a> has not managed to find the net in the last six matches for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/norwich-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norwich City<\/a>. The Pukki Party could be back on this week though as the canaries welcome the premier league&#8217;s only winless side Watford to Carrow Road.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley have been struggling recently and have lost the last three matches. They have a decent chance of turning things around this week against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Ham United<\/a> at Turf Moor. The absence of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4e9a0555\/Chris-Wood?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Wood<\/a> has definitely affected them.
