Player Specials Accumulator
Riyad Mahrez to score
Manchester City entertain Burnley and they could be in line for a few goals against the Clarets so an anytime effort from Riyad Mahrez has some potential. The Algerian has scored eight times against Burnley, including seven strikes in five games against them for City and five across the last two meetings at the Etihad.
Hamza Choudhury to be shown a card
Leicester City vs Manchester United
Leicester City are without their usual midfield general in Wilfred Ndidi for the visit of Manchester United on Saturday so Hamza Choudhury looks set to start. The 24-year-old has only managed one appearance this term, having had to settle for a place on the bench for most of the campaign, and could be in for a difficult afternoon against a United outfit who will be eager to hit the ground running after the international break following a few disappointing results.
Choudhury has picked up 23 cards (21 yellow, 2 red) in 107 career appearances in total and looks an option for a card at anytime this weekend.
Leandro Trossard to score
High-flying Brighton head to Norwich on Saturday and a goal at anytime from Leandro Trossard is an option here. The Belgian international has one goal and one assist in seven Premier League outings this term but does have a good record against the Canaries, having scored twice against them two seasons ago.
Junior Firpo to be shown a card
We’re expecting a close game when Leeds head to Southampton and that could result in the game descending into a physical battle at times. As such, a few players could be in line for a booking and Leeds defender Junior Firpo is an option here. The 25-year-old Spaniard has one yellow card in five games so far but has committed 1.8 fouls per-game on average and that suggests he is always in danger of receiving a card.
