Leicester v Chelsea SuperBoost

Nicolas Jackson is leading the line for Chelsea in fine form this season, netting six Premier League goals so far.

He's keeping out Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku amongst others, and perhaps it is no surprise, as he has managed more shots on target than any other Chelsea player this season (15).

Indeed, only Erling Haaland (32) and Mo Salah (21) have managed more than Jackson's 15 this season, with the Chelsea managing 1 or more shots on target in every single one of his 11 Premier League appearances so far.

Can he do it once again in the lunchtime kick-off? Well, only Brentford (203) have faced more shots this season than Leicester City (195), so we've SuperBoosted Nicolas Jackson to hit the target once again, now 1/12.00, up from 1/31.33!

Leicester vs Chelsea

Saturday's early kick-off sees Chelsea travel to promoted Leicester City, where fantasy managers will be sweating on the status of talisman Cole Palmer who missed out on England duty over the international break through injury. The good news is that he has been spotted in training this week.

Fantasy Football Hub's AI predicts him to score 5.8 points in this game, with some reduced minutes, but if he's named in the starting eleven then I'd be confident of him hitting his tally of 6+ points at 4/51.80. He has played 90 minutes in each of his last four league games and has only been subbed once on the scoresheet.

Palmer and Chelsea have been more prolific at home than on the road this season, but Palmer has scored away at West Ham and Wolves, with Leicester having their own defensive struggles in this campaign. His routes to points are plentiful, given his set piece involvement, including penalties.

Striker Nicolas Jackson may also be worth a look at 4/61.67 to beat his tally of 5+points, with an AI prediction of 5.3 points for this fixture. He already has nine goal involvements this season, with 67% of those coming on the road. An assist would see him reach his required score.

Man City vs Spurs

Manchester City will hope to return to winning ways this weekend, with a home game against Spurs giving them the perfect opportunity to prosper following two defeats on the road. They will hope to welcome back key playmaker Kevin De Bruyne for this one, who hasn't started in the league since Gameweek 4 given his injury troubles.

Erling Haaland's two goals in six is significantly below his usual high standards, but his underlying numbers suggest that more returns are on the way. He leads the way for big chances in this time with nine and also tops the expected goals ranking with a tally of 5.45 in the same spell.

More than half of his goals have come at the Etihad this season and given his ability to rack up bonus points, a goal should be enough to beat his tally pof 8 points at 7/42.75, provided he avoids a booking. He is predicted by AI to score 7.7 points in this game, with opponents Spurs keeping just two clean sheets this season.

Manchester City's defensive record isn't any better, and so striker Dominic Solanke could have a shot at a goal involvement himself. He has six involvements from nine starts in this campaign, with the AI predicting him to fall just short of his target of 5 points with a prediction of 4.8.

Southampton vs Liverpool

Liverpool travelling to Southampton on Sunday provides the biggest disparity between opponents this weekend, with Liverpool flying high at the top of the Premier League table, winning four of their last five. Meanwhile Saints are rock bottom, with just the one win on the board in this campaign.

Mohamed Salah has produced one of the best starts to the season in FPL history, obliterating the 100 point barrier after 11 games, with 14 goal involvements in this time. He has scored in his last four Premier League games, with seven double digit hauls for the season so far.

He should make a mockery of his target of seven points at 4/61.67, with a prediction of 8.1 points by AI for this game. He's reached that tally on eight occasions so far this season and is a player high in confidence. Southampton could be without goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for this one with a hand injury.

Ipswich vs Man Utd

It's Ruben Amorim's first game in charge for Manchester United as his side travel to promoted Ipswich Town on Sunday, with his side on the up following the departure of Erik ten Hag. FPL managers will be keen to scout how a potential change in formation will impact and potentially improve their fantasy assets.

Captain and talisman Bruno Fernandes has had plenty of joy in the last two gameweeks, with two goals and two assists helping him to two double digit hauls, which has seen him make the Team of the Week. Amorim has to build his team and playing style around Fernandes.

AI predicts Fernandes to score 5.6 points in this game, and so he is worth backing at 2/4 to reach his tally of 5+ points, especially since he is on penalties. The Tractor Boys have already conceded two spot-kicks this season and are yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season.

They will have hopes of scoring themselves, with striker Liam Delap the most likely source of returns, having scored six goals already this season. He's worth an outside bet of 21/10 to score 4+ points, with the AI predictions putting him on 4.3 points. Keep an eye on the Ipswich Town team sheet.
