Chelsea v Newcastle United
Mason Mount

Mason Mount recently made the shortlist for the Golden Boy award and can enhance his reputation as one of English football's brightest youngsters by breaking the deadlock against the Magpies.

He has scored four league goals this season, averaging a strike every 177 minutes from the tip of Chelsea's midfield.

Wolves v Southampton
Raul Jimenez

Wolves have got their season back on track with three successive wins in all competitions and Raul Jimenez can strike first against Southampton.

The Mexican marksman scored the opening goal in four Premier League fixtures last term, contributing to a final tally of 13 top-flight goals.

Crystal Palace v Manchester City
Raheem Sterling

Manchester City have fallen behind early in the title race but Pep Guardiola will ensure his side play on the front foot from the start against Crystal Palace.

With six league goals this season, Raheem Sterling is a crucial component on the flank for City and can score first, as he did in two of their last four games against Dinamo Zagreb and Preston.

Manchester United v Liverpool
Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool lead Manchester United by 15 points in the league but this fixture is usually tight and set-pieces could play their part.

Virgil van Dijk should edge the aerial battles with United's leaky defence and, after notching six times in all competitions last term, he already has a goal to his name in the league this season.
