Tips and Tricks

1. Team Choices – Southampton is the team of the week, with the Saints playing Graham Potter’s Brighton at the St. Mary’s. Their fine form and startling personnel can create several problems for a Brighton side, reeling from a rout at the hands of Manchester City.
2. Captain – Danny Ings is a strong choice for captain. Another impressive player with an easy fixture is Gabriel Jesus. Jesus had a stellar outing against Brighton and although Bournemouth recently put forth a mesmerizing performance against Leicester, Manchester City is a different animal.

Top four battle is tighter than ever. Chelsea are at home to Norwich while Manchester United travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.
