Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Mohammed Salah has started another season with a bang. He has now scored in five consecutive opening weekends. It is expected he will continue his good run in today’s fixture. The Egyptian already has a goal and two assists to his name.

Trent Alexander Arnold could deliver points on both ends of the pitch. Burnley conceded a lot of chances on the left flank last time, and Trent can benefit from that. He is also on set pieces.

Differential Pick

Chris Wood needs to be on the scoresheet if Burnley is to get anything from this game. The Kiwi international has 10+ goals in four consecutive seasons. Last year, he scored 12 goals and also supplied three assists.
