Defender: Gabriel vs Fulham (H) – 5.3 points 

Arsenal continues to be a top defensive choice in FPL this season, currently sitting third in clean sheets with 11 to their name. They’ve allowed the fewest big chances against them (38) and boast the best defensive record with just 24 goals conceded. They’ve managed to keep three clean sheets across their last five matches.

This season’s top three scorers for Arsenal include defensive players, with Gabriel leading the way. The Gunners will have Bukayo Saka returning from injury for their upcoming duel with Fulham, which may change the dynamics as the season’s final fixtures approach.

Gabriel plays a crucial role in both Arsenal’s clean sheet potential and their threat from set pieces, having notched three goals and two assists this season. He stands third among defenders for big chances, with eight, and has scored more goals against Fulham than any other side, netting three in five appearances.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah tops the AI predicted picks heading into this midweek fixture, making him the prime candidate for captaincy. In his latest outing, he smashed his own record for the most FPL points in a season with nine gameweeks still remaining.

Salah has already accumulated 17 double-digit hauls, including a stellar 13 points during the reverse fixture in February, where he scored and assisted in a thrilling 2-2 draw. This season at Anfield, he has only blanked once and has provided attacking returns in eight consecutive league matches.

Liverpool is expected to be ruthless in their pursuit of a 20th top-flight title, with the Premier League now their primary focus as the season enters its final two months. Salah will be eager to break more records, especially with speculation mounting about his future.

Erling Haaland is a close second in the AI projections, just 0.4 points behind Salah. Manchester City faces Leicester City, who are battling relegation on paper, making this a potentially favourable fixture. The City striker netted in the reverse fixture, contributing to a 2-0 win for City.

Currently, Haaland trails Salah in the Golden Boot race with 21 goals this season. He comes into this match with two goals and one assist over his last four league starts, although the team’s form has wavered with just one victory and one draw from their last four games.

The Norwegian has been a consistent presence in attack at home, logging an impressive four goals and two assists across all home starts in 2025, reaffirming his status as the most dependable link to Pep Guardiola’s attacking strategy.

Crystal Palace is in fine form, having won four of their last five matches, and they’re now vying for a spot higher up the table. A visit to bottom-placed Southampton presents a solid opportunity, especially after a 2-1 victory against them at Selhurst Park in December.

Ismaila Sarr, owned by just 4.6% of players, has emerged as their standout performer with three goals in his past two Premier League fixtures, boosting his tally to 11 attacking contributions for the season. He has had five big chances in the last four gameweeks, ranking him second across all players.

He has solidified his position as a key player in Oliver Glasner’s offensive unit, which has been eager for goals lately. Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to return from injury and enhance the Eagles’ attacking options, though their upcoming FA Cup quarter-final this weekend should be kept in mind. They are scheduled for a double gameweek in Gameweek 33.
