Robert Sanchez, Chelsea, keeper, £4.7m – home to Newcastle
Newcastle’s goals have really dried up, with just one in their past three games and star striker Alexander Isak is out of form.
Sanchez, meanwhile, has two double-digit hauls this season and can be relied on for a save point or two – he is averaging 4.5 saves per game.
Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City, defender, £6.1m – home to Southampton
City have just one clean in eight games this season, which is baffling when you consider they kept 13 in 2023-24.
Surely one comes against Saints, who only have six goals so far.
Gvardiol scored a cracker at Wolves last time out and he’s one of the best goalscoring options in defence if you can afford him.
Rico Lewis, Manchester City, defender, £4.8m – home to Southampton
Going all in on City’s defence this week. Lewis has started seven of City’s eight games this week so, famous last words, it seems as though he is a first-choice player for Pep Guardiola.
Lewis’ underlying stats are still strong. Against Wolves he had seven entries into the final third and five touches in the box – the third most among defenders behind Gvardiol (6) and Leicester’s James Justin (7).
Nathan Collins, Brentford, defender, £4.5m – home to Ipswich
Like Southampton, Ipswich have also scored just six this season and Brentford will fancy their first clean sheet of the season.
Collins has had four goal involvements this season, which is decent for a £4.5m defender.
