Erling Haaland leads the line as triple captain, the Norway international has 2 home matches in double gameweek 25 and is hugely capable of delivering given his impressive goal scoring record at the Etihad against Chelsea (22 goals conceded 12 matches away from home this season) and Brentford as the league’s top scoring forward.

Ivan Toney has 4 attacking returns to his name since returning to first team action and reads well in terms of minutes (aproximately 1 in 2 in the Premier League).

Elijah Adebayo is currently on 9 goals in the Premier League, and offers value as forward who is part of a Luton Town side that scored 15 goals in their previous 6 Premier League matches in 2023/24.

Diogo Jota continues his goal scoring form as the Portuguese international is a fox in the box and plays two bottom teams in DGW25 including a Brentford side that have conceded 23 goals in 12 Premier League matches at home in 2023/24 (ranked 18th for goals conceded at home in the Premier League this season).

Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden continue to shine by both linking up well together, and part of the top scoring team in the Premier League this season.

Luis Diaz (quietly in form) offers Liverpool an outlet wide on the left, with the ability to get at the back post and the Colombian international is impressing with 9 attacking returns from an xGI of 7.65 (Brentford and Luton Town are arguably vulnerable on their right hand side).

Virgil Van Dijk (vice captain) completes the Liverpool trio in the XI this week, the Dutch international is reliable for starts, and has a goal in him (or a attacking return) and has 1917 minutes under his belt this campaign.

Alfie Doughty and Sergio Regulión offer upside as attack minded options as both players look set to play as wing backs (in a DGW).

Mark Flekken at 4.5 is a cheap option in goal, with potential of picking up bonus points for saves as he faces two of the most attacking teams in the Premier League.

Bench options include budget players including Martin Dubravka, Mosés Caicedo Corozo, Antonee Robinson and Tyrick Mitchell.
