This is a tough week for the captain. Erling Haaland is visiting Liverpool. Cole Palmer is home to Bournemouth. Bukayo Saka start at home to Leeds on Saturday lunchtime. Bruno Fernandes hosts “Spurs” at home.
Fernandes has the best game and the best chance for a big score, but not many. You can talk to me about any of the rest. I’m leaning safety and sticking with Haaland. Even in a more difficult game, if Man City score, he should be involved.
If I wanted to be different, I’d look at Saka or Palmer at home. What puts me off Saka is a possible Havertz injury that will affect their attack, plus an early kick right after a long layoff. Joao Pedro is the one who took me away from Palmer. If he is not fit, Chelsea’s attack suffers, as we saw against Brentford in Gameweek Five.
