Brighton v Watford
Ismaila Sarr

Ismaila Sarr, Watford's top scorer this season, is in contention to return from injury to face the Seagulls and he could break the deadlock.

The tricky wide player has four goals in all competitions and scored against Manchester United and Aston Villa in December.

Nottingham Forest v Leeds
Joe Lolley

Leeds have drawn blanks in their last two away fixtures at QPR and Arsenal and it may be worth going for a Forest player to notch first in this crucial Sky Bet Championship clash.

Joe Lolley has been impressing on the flanks, firing a brace at home to Luton and scoring the winner away to Brentford.

Sheffield United v Bournemouth
Lys Mousset

These sides have gone in opposite directions since their opening-day stalemate and the highflying Blades could strike first this time.

Richairo Zivkovic could be a danger but will likely start on the bench, meaning Lys Mousset, who has five goals in all competitions, could draw first blood against his former club.

Man City v West Ham
Sergio Aguero

Sergio Aguero has been at his irrepressible best this season, netting 16 times in the Premier League.

Ilkay Gundogan could be taken off penalty duty after his failure to score from the spot against Tottenham and, against a side who have conceded five spot-kicks this term, Aguero could take his place, enhancing appeal about the Argentinian forward.
