West Ham v Brighton
Leandro Trossard

Leandro Trossard scored his first Brighton goal against West Ham in August and could break the deadlock in the capital.

The Hammers are weakened on the right side of defence with Ryan Fredericks sidelined and the Belgian winger could add to his three league goals.

Man Utd v Wolves
Dan James

Wolves could not find a way through Manchester United home or away in the FA Cup so a Red Devils player could be the best option to open the scoring.

Welsh winger Dan James has the pace to expose a Wolves side who often leave space out wide and could put his team ahead with his fourth goal in the Premier League.

Burnley v Arsenal
Jeff Hendrick

Turf Moor often plays host to scrappy affairs and given that Arsenal have conceded ten league goals from set-pieces, Sean Dyche might be focusing on corners in this one.

Jeff Hendrick has proved to be a handful in the box and could be a great outside bet to add to his three strikes in all competitions.

Tottenham v Man City
Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling was a handful in Manchester City's last league contest, managing five shots against Sheffield United.

He remains one of the best first-goalscorer options in the division with 11 goals and he drew first blood when the sides clashed at the Etihad in August.
