4 of 4

Mahrez

One of the only in form players we currently possess. He deserves his start after his shining performances recently. Working so much harder! Brilliant stuff.

Grealish

The other that seems to have picked up some form in recent games. His special stat that I won’t jinx hours before the derby remains.

Haaland

Get that big Nordic Meat Shield up top!
