With just 10 points in 12 games, Newcastle would like to move upwards on the table with the help of the in-form Wijnaldum.

2. Tadic:

With two assists and a goal under his name in last 5 gameweeks, he would be looking to carry his form for the upcoming gameweeks. He is predicted to score 20 points in the next 5 game weeks. Southampton would be happy to carry on their current form – 3 wins and 2 2 draws in the last 5 games.

3. Cabaye:

4. Lanzini:

Lanzini had scored two goals and assisted once in the last 5 gameweeks and moved into double digits score twice in five gameweeks. West Ham would be taking on some good defending teams as the likes of Spurs, United and Swansea. West Ham would be relying a lot on him to perform the role of injured Payet.

5. Deulofeu:

Everton’s in-form player scored a goal and assisted 4 times in the last 3 games. Everton has pretty easy fixtures coming up in the next five gameweeks, home games against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Leicester and away games against Bournemouth and Norwich.
