David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.5m – Fulham (h)
Raya has four clean sheets in his past seven and Arsenal have the second-most clean sheets (11) this season. There could be a few clean sheets knocking about this week and this game is one of them.
Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City, £6m – Leicester City (h)
I know City can’t keep a clean sheet this season but surely they will against a Leicester team who have scored in only three of their past 14 matches.
That’s awful from the Foxes and Gvardiol could pop up with a goal and give you a 15-pointer.
Ruben Dias, Manchester City, £5.4m – Leicester City (h)
Double Manchester City defence this week for the reasons mentioned above. Dias has started the past three league games and appears to be first choice again.
If we’re looking for a cheeky attacking return on top of a likely clean sheet, then Dias feels like the next best bet in City’s defence.
No, he hasn’t scored in the league in two seasons! But in 2021-22 he had seven attacking returns. There’s a time for every drought to end.
Jarell Quansah, Liverpool, £3.9m – Everton (h)
£3.9m for a piece of defence that has kept the most clean sheets this season is a major bargain.
Derby games can go two ways but Liverpool are at home against Everton. They should dominate, will expect to win and could easily keep their rivals out.
Milos Kerkez, Bournemouth, £5.2m – Ipswich (h)
The Hungarian is rolling at the moment with assists in his past three games. No clean sheets in that time but if he can put the two together he’ll have a haul.
Bournemouth’s stout home defensive record has disappeared, but Ipswich present a good chance to put things right.
