This week is pivotal for Chelsea, who face crucial fixtures against their closest competitors as they strive for a top-five finish in a season that’s tested their resilience. Following three consecutive defeats in the league, a strong response is essential.
Number 10, Cole Palmer, could play a key role in their upcoming matches, having netted nine goals and provided two assists this season from 19 appearances. However, his form has dipped recently; his last goal came back in early March during Chelsea’s last league triumph—a 4-1 victory at Villa Park.
Palmer, a lifelong Manchester United supporter, will feel the added pressure in Saturday night’s match at Stamford Bridge. He is well-placed to earn points since he takes charge of Chelsea’s set pieces, including penalty kicks.
Midfield Star: Rodri vs Arsenal (H), Burnley (A) – 9.4 predicted points
Manchester City has two crucial matches ahead as they aim to wrest the Premier League title from Arsenal, beginning with a showdown at the Etihad against the league leaders on Sunday afternoon.
Midfielder Rodri represents a strong differential, being included in only 0.5% of teams. He has found the net once over the last four gameweeks, while also earning the defensive contribution bonus during the 1-1 draw with West Ham.
Top Forward: Erling Haaland vs Arsenal (H), Chelsea (A) – 15.4 predicted points
Once again, Erling Haaland tops the AI rankings as the best captain choice, expected to score more than four points above any other player. He is likely to be the go-to captain, with many managers looking to maximise their Manchester City assets for these two matches.
Haaland continues to lead the underlying statistics across every goal threat metric. However, he’ll be keeping an eye on Brentford’s Igor Thiago, who has scored 22 goals this season and is now just one behind him in the Golden Boot race, with his last goal recorded back in February.
In previous fixtures, he amassed 25 fantasy points in Gameweek 5 and 6, scoring against Arsenal in a 1-1 draw at the Emirates and then achieving his highest haul 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 striker Danny Welbeck continues to be a name to consider for the double gameweek, with his ownership growing to 8.3%. He trails behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin in terms of popularity, as the Leeds United forward has tipped out of differential status with an ownership of 10.2%.
Welbeck has netted three goals in his last four league starts, marking an impressive 12 goals for the season, which is his highest tally in a Premier League campaign. His upcoming match against Spurs promises to be an intriguing encounter, particularly as they aim to avoid relegation.
