Arsenal v Cardiff City
7.45pm GMT, Emirates Stadium, London
Arsenal had a very good 2-0 win at home to Chelsea last week to move within three points of the top four. They’re unbeaten in 11 games at home with only the top two taking more points and scoring more goals at home. They have only won four of their last nine games and they conceded 14 goals in those games.

Pierre-Emireck Aubameyang is still the Arsenal player most likely to make a difference for fantasy managers while Alexandre Lacazette has done reasonably well recently too.
Cardiff lost 3-0 away to Newcastle last week and that defeat saw them drop back into the relegation zone. Only Fulham have taken less points away from home and no other team has scored less goals on their travels. They have lost four of their last seven games and only Fulham have conceded more goals.

I can’t see any Cardiff players to recommend to fantasy managers at the moment.
I think Arsenal should put their FA Cup disappointment behind them and take the three points in this game.
Prediction: 3-1
Prediction: 3-1
Bournemouth v Chelsea
7.45pm GMT, Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth
Bournemouth won 2-0 at home to West Ham last week and they’re still only one point off the top half of the table. They have taken 10 points from their last five games with only five other teams taking more points at home. They have lost nine of their last 13 games with only three other teams conceding more goals.
Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser are still available at good prices for fantasy managers and they’re definitely both worth considering.
Chelsea lost 2-0 away to Arsenal last week and they’re now only two points above both Arsenal and United in third place. They had won three away games in a row before losing to Arsenal and only Liverpool and City have conceded less goals away from home. They have only won six of their last 12 games, but they kept clean sheets in five of those games with only Liverpool and City conceding less goals.
Eden Hazard is the Chelsea player most likely to perform for fantasy managers with David Luiz doing well in recent weeks and new boy Gonzalo Higuain worth keeping an eye on too.
I think this will be a close game, but Chelsea should just about manage a narrow victory.
Prediction: 1-2
Fulham v Brighton And Hove Albion
7.45pm GMT, Craven Cottage, London
Fulham lost 2-1 at home to a last minute goal against Spurs last week and they’re now seven points from safety. They have taken eight points from their last six home games, but only Cardiff have conceded more goals at home. They have lost their last three games and they conceded eight goals in the process with no other team conceding more goals.

Fulham lost 2-1 at home to a last minute goal against Spurs last week and they’re now seven points from safety. They have taken eight points from their last six home games, but only Cardiff have conceded more goals at home. They have lost their last three games and they conceded eight goals in the process with no other team conceding more goals.
I still can’t see any Fulham players who might make a difference for fantasy managers.
Brighton lost 2-1 away to United last week and they’re now only seven points clear of the bottom three. They have only taken one point from their last four away games and only Fulham have lost more games away from home. They have only taken five points from their last eight games and they need to be careful or they will be drawn into the relegation battle.

Pascal Gross has done well for fantasy managers in the last few weeks, but he’s not the player he was last season.
This is a game Fulham really need to take something from, but I think they will only manage a draw.
Prediction: 1-1
Prediction: 1-1
Huddersfield Town v Everton
7.45pm GMT, John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield
Huddersfield lost 3-0 at home to City last week and they’re now 10 points from safety with 15 games left to play. They have lost their last five home games and no other team has won less home games or scored less home goals. They have only taken one point from their last 10 games and they only scored five goals in those games with no other team scoring less goals.

I can’t see any Huddersfield players to recommend to fantasy managers.
Everton lost 2-1 away to Southampton last week and that defeat saw them drop into the bottom half of the table. They have lost four of their last five away games and they have only won two of their 11 away games. They have only won two of their last 10 games and they only kept one clean sheet in those games.

Lucas Digne and Gylfi Siggurdson are the Everton players most likely to be of interest to fantasy managers.
I think Everton might just have enough to win this game despite their poor away record.
Prediction: 0-2
Prediction: 0-2
Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United
7.45pm GMT, Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton
Wolves won 4-3 at home to Leicester last week thanks to a last minute goal and that win moved them up to eighth place. They have lost two of their last three home games and they have almost taken as many points on the road as they have at home. Their form has been up and down recently and they have conceded more goals than they have scored despite their position in the league.

Raul Jiminez and Matt Doherty have been the Wolves players to have for fantasy managers while Diogo Jota should be considered too.
West Ham lost 2-0 away to Bournemouth last week, but they’re still just about in the top half of the table. They lost their last two away games without scoring a goal after winning the previous three on the road. They have taken 19 points from their last 10 games, but the FA Cup defeat against Wimbledon can’t have done them any good.

I think Wolves will continue to pile the misery on West Ham by winning this game.
Prediction: 2-0

Manchester United v Burnley
8pm GMT, Old Trafford, London
United won 2-1 at home to Brighton last week and they’re now only three points off fourth place. They have won their last four home games and scored 13 goals in the process and they are unbeaten in their last nine games at home. They have won their last six games and they scored 17 goals in those games as well as keeping two clean sheets.

They have won their last four home games and scored 13 goals in the process and they are unbeaten in their last nine games at home. They have won their last six games and they scored 17 goals in those games as well as keeping two clean sheets.
Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are the United players to have for fantasy managers at the moment.
Burnley drew 0-0 away to Watford in their last game and that point kept them three points above the bottom three. They have taken four points from their last two away games after only taking one from their previous six games, but only three other teams have scored less goals away from home. They have taken 10 points and kept two clean sheets in their last four games and that run has coincided with the return of Tom Heaton.
I can’t see any Burnley players who might make a difference for fantasy managers right now, but Heaton could be one to consider after this game.
I think United should run out fairly comfortable winners in this game.
Prediction: 4-1
Newcastle United v Manchester City
8pm GMT, St. James’s Park, Newcastle
Newcastle won 3-0 at home to Cardiff last week to move ahead of them and out of the bottom three. Only Huddersfield have lost more home games with only Huddersfield and Palace scoring less goals at home. The win against Cardiff was their first win in six games with only Huddersfield scoring less goals so far.
I can’t see any Newcastle players to recommend to fantasy managers in this game at least.
City strolled to a 3-0 win away to Huddersfield last week to stay four points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. They have won their last two away games after losing the previous two with only Spurs and Liverpool taking more points on the road. They have won their last four games after losing three of the previous four with no other team scoring more goals and only Liverpool conceding less.
If they can figure which City players will play from week to week fantasy managers can do very well with Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and David Silva probably the most likely candidates at the moment.
I can’t see anything other than a comfortable City win in this game.
Prediction: 0-2
Wednesday 30 January
Southampton v Crystal Palace
7.45pm GMT, St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton
Southampton won 2-1 at home to Everton last week to move three points clear of the bottom three. They won two of their last four home games and they are their only home wins so far with only Huddersfield winning less games at home. They have taken seven points from their last three games and the change of manager looks like it could be enough to keep them up.
Nathan Redmond and Danny Ings are both available at very good prices and might not be the worst buys for fantasy managers.
Palace made a real game of it away to Liverpool last week, but they ended up losing 4-3 and they’re still only three points above the bottom three. They have won two of their last three away games and they have taken more points and scored more goals away from home than they have at home. Despite losing their last two games they have taken 10 points from their last seven games including scoring three goals away to both City and Liverpool.
Andros Townsend and Luka Milivojevic have done well for fantasy managers in recent weeks and are both worth considering.
I think this will be a close game and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it end with the spoils shared.
Prediction: 2-2
Liverpool v Leicester City
8pm GMT, Anfield, Liverpool
Liverpool just about managed a 4-3 win at home to Palace last week to maintain their four point advantage at the top of the table. They’re the only team unbeaten at home with only City scoring more home goals and no other team conceding less. They have won 11 of their last 12 games with no other team conceding less goals and only City scoring more.
Mohamed Salah is still a must have for fantasy managers while every fantasy manager should have at least one Liverpool defender too.
Leicester lost 4-3 away to Wolves last week thanks to a last gasp goal, but they’re still only two points behind seventh place. They have won two of their last three away games with only five teams taking more points away from home. They have lost three of their last four games and there are rumours their manager might have to watch his back.
I’m not sure there are any Leicester players who can perform for fantasy managers in this game.
I think Liverpool should maintain their lead at the top of the table by taking the three points in this game.
Prediction: 3-1
Tottenham Hotspur v Watford
8pm GMT, Wembley Stadium, London
Spurs won 2-1 away to Fulham last week thanks to a last minute goal to keep their hold on third place. They have lost four of their 10 home games, but only two other teams have conceded less goals at home. They have lost two of their last four games after winning eight of the previous nine with only the top two scoring more goals.
With Harry Kane and Dele Alli injured the Spurs player to have for fantasy managers has to be Christian Eriksen with Heung-Min Son a possibility too as soon as he returns from international duty.
Watford drew 0-0 at home to Burnley last week to stay seventh, but they’re now 11 points behind sixth place. They have taken eight points from their last four away games and they scored nine goals in those games. They have only lost one of their last eight games after losing three of the previous four.
Roberto Pereyra is the Watford player most likely to be of benefit to fantasy managers.
I think this will be a close game with Spurs just about managing to take the three points.
Prediction: 2-1
That’s it for this week.
See you next week.
