Son Heung-Min
One of the few benefits of Tottenham’s meeting with Fulham being postponed is that Jose Mourinho’s side will be well rested for the visit of Leeds in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, which is a fixture we’ve had our eye on for a while.
Leeds’ defence is the second-worst in the top flight and Marcelo Bielsa will be sure to give up space, making this a prime fixture for Son. Despite only scoring once in his last four, the South Korean will be well-fancied this week.
Harry Kane
And why not go for the double up? Even with Tottenham’s recent struggles, Kane-Son is still the Premier League’s most prolific partnership, combining for 12 goals since the start of the season.
Kane has penalty-taking duties to boot, of course, which potentially swings the captaincy debate in his favour. Either way, doubling up with both him and Son could be a powerful way to climb the rankings this week.

All of Arsenal’s assets appeared off-limits only a week or so ago, but back-to-back wins have restored a bit of confidence in Mikel Arteta’s side and their upcoming fixtures are favourable, especially when it comes to defenders.
Holding took a clean sheet and maximum bonus points from Tuesday’s win over Brighton, he’s priced at just £4.4m and has West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace and Newcastle in his next three.
Nick Pope
Burnley’s steady improvement continues apace. Since Ben Mee returned to the side in mid-November, they’ve only lost twice in nine games and only conceded more than one goal once.
Pope could easily collect his fourth clean sheet in six games against Fulham at Turf Moor. Scott Parker’s side have improved defensively and are unbeaten in their last four but are struggling to create chances.
Bukayo Saka
Back to Arsenal or more specifically West Brom, who are still the team to target. Sam Allardyce has plenty of work to do to shore up his new defence, even after that impressive point at Anfield, and their defensive record is actually worse at home than it is away.
Saka is still modestly priced at £5.2m despite a goal and two assists in his last two games. Arsenal’s fixtures are strong for a while yet, making him a budget midfielder who can enable more expensive moves over the blanks and double gameweeks to come.
Honourable mentions: Vicente Guaita, James Tomkins, Pedro Neto, Gabriel Martinelli, Jamie Vardy
