Ollie Watkins

Aston Villa v Chelsea

Watkins notched the 14th goal of his maiden Premier League campaign against Tottenham in midweek and the Villa star will be a threatening presence again when Chelsea visit the West Midlands.

Nine of the 25-year-old’s efforts this season have been deadlock-breakers and Watkins should have even more chances to score with key creator Jack Grealish back supplying him.

Kelechi Iheanacho

Leicester v Tottenham

Leicester frontman Iheanacho has been averaging a goal a game in his last 11 Premier League appearances and the supremely confident attacker can add to his late-season haul against Tottenham.

The 24-year-old has notched Leicester’s first goal on six occasions this term and he could again make the difference against a Spurs team with one eye on their summer holidays.

Michail Antonio

West Ham v Southampton

West Ham need a final-day win against Southampton to clinch continental qualification and Irons cult hero Michail Antonio can lead their charge from the front.

The forward has netted the Hammers’ first goal seven times this season, while the Saints have conceded the opener in eight of their last ten assignments on the road.

Patrick Bamford

Leeds v West Brom

Leeds are finishing their campaign with a flourish and target man Patrick Bamford has been central to their success. The England hopeful put United in front at Southampton in midweek and nine of his 16 Premier League goals this season have got Leeds up and running and onto the scoresheet.

Relegated Albion have the division's worst defensive record and Bamford could put his killer touch to good use against them at Elland Road.
