Leicester City v Manchester City
Harvey Barnes

There will be a plethora of attacking stars on display in the battle between second and third in the Premier League but Harvey Barnes could be the best bet to score first.

He netted against Chelsea in their previous game at the King Power and has four Premier League goals this season.

Manchester United v Watford
Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes was a livewire in Manchester United's 2-0 win over Chelsea, managing two shots and three key passes at Stamford Bridge.

An assured starter, the midfielder scored 15 goals in 28 matches in all competitions for Sporting this season before his January transfer to Manchester.

Wolves v Norwich City
Teemu Pukki

Wolves have trailed at the break in 14 of their 26 Premier League games this term and they could go behind against a lively Norwich side battling relegation.

Teemu Pukki is their primary source of goals, scoring 11 times in the league this season, and the Finnish forward can draw first blood.

Arsenal v Everton
David Luiz

Everton have conceded 11 goals from set pieces in this season's Premier League and an Arsenal defender could pop up with the first goal.

David Luiz could be a danger in the air, having scored both of his league goals this season at the Emirates.
