Wolves v Newcastle
Adama Traore

Newcastle's injuries and shot-shy nature points to a Wolves player opening the scoring when they meet this weekend and Adama Traore could be the best option.

The winger thrives at Molineux, scoring in each of his side's last two league fixtures there against Tottenham and Manchester City, and can wreak havoc against United's mediocre full-backs.

Tottenham v Liverpool
Sadio Mane

Spurs have shipped first in each of their last five games and fast-starting Liverpool can establish an advantage in north London through Sadio Mane.

The Senegalese forward is the club's top scorer in all competitions with 15 goals and found the net against Sheffield United and Wolves recently.

Bournemouth v Watford
Ismaila Sarr

Watford have shown more attacking impetus under Nigel Pearson, scoring 11 goals in their last five assignments, and Ismaila Sarr has been one of the main beneficiaries of the new attacking mentality.

Three of his four goals have come since November 30 against Southampton, Manchester United and Aston Villa and he can continue his great form against the Cherries.

Aston Villa v Manchester City
Riyad Mahrez

Riyad Mahrez has hit a purple patch, capping some fine recent performances with goals against Burnley and Leicester.

He had five shots, three of which were on target, and found the net against Manchester United on Tuesday in the League Cup.
