After two weeks of international break, we’re back to national competitions. The fifth round of EPL is ahead of us, and because of nations league and international football, we have some injuries on which we need to give close attention. Luke Shaw have been lying on the field for some ten minutes, but he picked up only slight injury, so he will be absent only this round. Dele Alli haven’t played in a second game for England, it is some minor injury in stake, and I expect him in Tottenham line up for this week. Coleman picked up injury by playing for Ireland, there is 25% chances for him to play, so probably we will not see him playing in this round. Calvert-Lewin from Everton is under question mark too. Fraser, picked injury at training, haven’t played against Albania, currently is on 75% chances to play, and in reality, this is the player who can bring us a lot in next 5-6 rounds.

  • Tottenham, against one of two candidates for title this year. Last round, they lose against Watford in away game by 2:1. Here, we can see everything, I expect both teams to score, and Kane somehow always plays good against Liverpool. Anyway, it will be a good game to watch for sure.
  • Chelsea vs Cardiff, it is enough only to say Hazard and Alonso. For brave ones, Pedro can be a pick also.
  • From Manchester City I expect for everything what went wrong against Newcastle, make it right against Fulham. I assume that Fulham will play open match, because they know also that Man City is too strong for them, and probably they will try to play as best they can. Aguero wasn’t with his national team, as well as Jesus, so both of them can be a good pick for this round.
  • Tosun can finally perform good for Everton. I feel like both teams will score here. In Everton, they wait with anticipation return of Richarlison for which I think will be most picked player for 6st round.

From Arsenal and Manchester United I don’t expect to score many goals. What bother me the most is, will Mkhitaryan be on the bench again? Ozil didn’t play for Germany, while Mkhitaryan have played both games for Armenia. Personally, I found Mkhitaryan much better then Ozil, and with rested Aubameyang and Lacazete, this should be a picks to consider.

Chelsea and City looks like safe option to not concede, Southampton also, but we shall see.

This is it, so good luck in this round and pick smart!
