The air is getting thinner and thinner in the Prem. League. After the draw between Liverpool and City, both teams must continue to give 100% in every game and not give up any more points. But also the Champ. League places are still being fought hard at the moment. Arsenal are currently three points behind Tottenham, but they still have a game in hand to fight for fourth place. In this preview, I present you interesting players and favorable alternatives on this matchday. 

Goal: 

Fraser Forster (42₵, Southampton): Forster is always a good choice, impressing not only with his low market value but also with his skills in the box. One might think that the 34-year-old keeper must have made minus points last matchday, because he had to look behind him six times, but he also managed to keep eight shots out and therefore ended up with a stable 250 points. It should be another busy day for Forster against Arsenal and anyone who scores like that despite conceding six goals can really only do better in the next game.

Defense:

James Tarkowski (78₵, Burnley): The centre-back has been putting in good performances recently, including one against Man. City. Now it’s time for him against West Ham, where he will be challenged again, but he should be able to win more duels in this game and therefore he is a good option for you in the defense.

Fabian Schär (56₵, Newcastle): The Swiss impresses at SPITCH with a solid 224 average points, a low market value and in addition, he often has runaways upwards in his statistics. This makes the defender a reliable choice.

Gabriel Magalhaes (106₵, Arsenal): The Gunners’ Brazilian centre-back has seen his performance improve. In the game against Brighton, Gabriel was often drawn into the attack and I expect him to have another shot attempt or two against Southampton, which will give him important points as a defender.

Harry Maguire (100₵, Man. United): The Englishman is often portrayed as a loser on the internet, but from a SPITCH point of view he is definitely not. The Red Devils’ centre-back manages to crack the 300-point mark very often and against Norwich he should be able to score well again with a multitude of passes in the build-up play.

Midfield:

Moisés Caicedo (42₵,Brighton): Last matchday saw Caicedo make his first Prem. League appearance and he was able to shine directly with an assist. Because he is so cheap at the moment, we are happy to take him as a bargain and great alternative in midfield.

Bruno Fernandes (206₵, Man. United): Although Man. United did not look good against Everton and lost 0-1, Fernandes managed to grab a strong 371 points. Moreover, the next games are of huge importance for the Red Devils if they want to compete internationally. Therefore, I expect good performances from the talented Portuguese.

Christian Eriksen (84₵, Brentford): He was also featured in the last preview and has delivered once again. Eriksen scored almost 400 points and that without any scorer points. So we keep riding the wave, because for now it doesn’t look like the Dane’s performance will flatten out any time soon.

Attack:

Chris Wood (51₵, Newcastle): With his goal against Wolverhampton, the New Zealander could regain confidence. He offers another cheap alternative to the stars in the forward line and can earn you some very important net points if he has a good performance.

Bryan Mbeumo (51₵, Brentford): Another Brentford player who is on a roll. The 22-year-old Frenchman has scored in his last three games with 4 assists and a goal for the Bees. He is also currently still in the low price range and can get you some points in tandem with Eriksen.

Jarrod Bowen (110₵, West Ham): West Ham welcome a fairly certain relegated squad this weekend and Bowen is in an excellent spot for your team as he will definitely get chances to score and at best it will be either +65 or +200 for your team.
