Jesse Lingard

Newcastle v West Ham

Jesse Lingard has been on fire since joining West Ham on loan and his hot streak continued with a brace against Leicester last weekend. He made it 1-0 with the first of those two goals and has now opened the scoring in each of his last four Premier League appearances. Back him to put the pressure on a Newcastle side who have conceded first in three of their last four.

Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal v Fulham

Fulham’s great escape has hit a roadblock over the past few weeks and they go into this clash having lost each of their last four. Alexandre Lacazette bagged a brace against another Championship-bound club in Sheffield United last time out to make it four goals from his last four league appearances. He can add to his 13 top-flight goals on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Burnley

Marcus Rashford may be nursing an injury but it’s showing no signs of slowing the young Englishman down. He has scored Manchester United’s first goal in two of his last three outings to take his tally to 20 club goals for the season and he can punish a Burnley side who have shipped five goals in their last two games.

Mohamed Salah

Leeds v Liverpool

Three consecutive wins suggest Liverpool have rediscovered their form in the Premier League and Mohamed Salah has unsurprisingly proved crucial to this turnaround. He has scored in his last two league appearances to make it 19 top-flight goals for the season, and 11 of those have been Liverpool’s first goal of the game.
