MATCHDAY 15 PICK’EM

Sleeper Pick'em predictions for Matchday 15

The Saturday lunchtime kick-off gives Liverpool a chance to briefly extend their at the top of the table, though we tip both Arsenal and Manchester City to win later on. Recent times have been notoriously tough for Pep Guardiola’s side but a gritty encounter at Selhurst Park is predicted to end with the champions claiming all three points thanks to Erling Haaland.

Also in poor form is Aston Villa, so they’ll relish hosting Southampton and will expect victory. Then again, Brighton and Hove Albion probably thought that last Friday and could only draw. We think the Seagulls will do better against another promoted side, Leicester City, despite the Foxes’ 3-1 win during Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first match in charge.

The Dutchman’s four-game spell in the Manchester United dugout preceded Ruben Amorim. But we think the latter’s troops will drop points at home to defensively strong Nottingham Forest. Another encounter that could end all-square is Brentford v Newcastle United.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth and West Ham United will grab wins over Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The likes of Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson and Jarrod Bowen will deliver.

As a final thought, surely Spurs v Chelsea will be calmer than last season’s extraordinary clash, right? Ange Postecoglou’s team were reduced to nine men in the 55th minute but they refused to budge from a high defensive line, where Nicolas Jackson‘s late hat-trick eventually picked them off. Like then, we think it’ll be a Chelsea victory.

    Anyone thinking of doing Cunha to Isak ?

      If you brought in Cunha I think you need to assess him over a longer stretch of games before moving him out. I dont own either and would definitely prefer Isak in my team though.

        I’ve had Cunha for a few weeks but Wolves are poor and fixtures soon to get hard again. I feel Isak is quite an upgrade

      Cunha has a great game against a team leaking goals and whose manager is a lame duck waiting for the sack

        Perhaps I’ll hold off for now

      Yes but then I remember I got rid of Isak because I was concerned that Wilson coming back (until his next inevitable injury) was going to affect his minutes and points.

      I've gone early and pressed the button I do hope it doesn't come back to bite me!

      Gone is Haaland, to allow the best midfield?

      Onana / Turner
      DeLigt, Lewis, Disasi, Livremonto, THB,
      Salah, Palmer, De Byrne, Saka, Rogers
      Jackson, Vardy, Delap

      Sometimes you just have to roll the dice!

        By "button" I'm guessing WC button. KDB's an interesting pick but Vardy's spot must be under threat with the new management, not to mention he's on 4 yellows. That whole defence could be benched. I would downgrade Vardy to a 4.4, use the spare mil to upgrade in defence and go for 3 or 4 of the most guaranteed cheap starters who can nick attacking points like Davis and Ait Nouri.

            I was hoping it was an ejector seat.

        How do people rate LIV and ARS's prospects of a cleanie this weekend? Would you make a move to bring in their GK or defenders?

          Fairly good. Defenders yes, keepers no. The reason is because Timber & Gabriel maybe the better pairing leaving Alisson the ideal keeper and he's back soon.

        D - Upgrade Semenyo

          Incredible that you can afford this team.

          I don't know who Ui-Jo is, but I subbed him with a 4.5 keeper, and I am 1.6 over.

          Your team value must be close to 104.

            4.5 forward rather!
