This week is crucial for Chelsea as they face off against their closest rivals in an effort to clinch a top-five position in what has been a challenging season. After suffering three straight losses in the Premier League, a strong response is essential.

Cole Palmer, wearing the number 10 shirt, could play a pivotal role; he has netted nine goals and provided two assists in this campaign over 19 appearances. However, he’s had a quieter spell lately, not finding the net since early March, during Chelsea’s last league triumph—a 4-1 victory against Aston Villa.

As a lifelong Manchester United supporter, Saturday night’s clash at Stamford Bridge holds extra significance for Palmer. His involvement in Chelsea’s set pieces, including penalties, positions him well for accruing points.

Midfield Star: Rodri vs Arsenal (H), Burnley (A) – 9.4 predicted points

Manchester City face a pivotal set of fixtures as they aim to wrest the Premier League title from Arsenal, beginning with a matchup against the league leaders at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon.

Rodri is a key differential player, featuring in just 0.5% of teams. He netted once in the last four gameweeks and also earned a defensive contribution bonus during a 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Top Forward: Erling Haaland vs Arsenal (H), Chelsea (A) – 15.4 predicted points

Erling Haaland is once again the top pick for captaincy, projected to outscore any other player by over four points. He’s expected to be the go-to captain option as many managers look to heavily invest in Manchester City players for these two matches.

Haaland continues to excel in all goal threat metrics but will have to keep an eye on Brentford’s Igor Thiago, who is just one goal behind him in the race for the Golden Boot, having netted 22 times this season, with his last goal coming in February.

Earlier in the season, he netted 25 fantasy points across two matches during Gameweek 5 and 6; he scored against Arsenal in a 1-1 draw at the Emirates before delivering his best performance of the season against Burnley with two goals and one assist.

Forward Insight: Danny Welbeck vs Spurs (A), Chelsea (H) – 8.9 predicted points

Brighton’s forward, Danny Welbeck, remains a solid option for the double gameweek, with ownership at 8.3%. Although he trails Dominic Calvert-Lewin in popularity (10.2% ownership), he still stands out as a differential.

Welbeck has netted three goals in his last four league appearances, bringing his seasonal tally to 12, marking his best-ever goal return in a Premier League season. The upcoming clash against Spurs is bound to be an exciting encounter as both teams vie to secure their positions in the league.
