We make our way to Stamford Bridge this evening as Chelsea entertain Middlesbrough in the penultimate match of Gameweek 36.
The league leaders boast two of the top five most selected captains – Diego Costa and Eden Hazard have been handed the armband by 10.5% and 6.8% respectively against a Boro defence that’s shipped four goals in each of their last two road trips.
Costa delivered a season-high 16 points in his previous home appearance and is second only to Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus for transfers in up top ahead of the Blues’ Double Gameweek 37 against West Brom and Watford.
Hazard, meanwhile, has served up returns in seven of his previous eight league outings and produced six of nine double-figure returns in front of his own supporters.
Sold by over 144,000 FPL managers after blanking in both Double Gameweek 34 appearances, Alvaro Negredo returned to form with a goal and assist in last week’s 2-2 draw with Man City.
Having found the net in three of his last six matches, the Spaniard looks the likeliest to breach a backline that picked up its first clean sheet in 12 attempts at Goodison Park last time out.
