Mohamed Salah

Liverpool v Newcastle

Sadio Mane found the net at Leeds on Monday but the smart money is on Mohamed Salah here. The Egyptian has scored in three of his five appearances since the international break and, with 11 of his 19 Premier League goals getting Liverpool off the mark, he can punish a Magpies side that have conceded first in 11 of their 16 away games this season.

Mason Greenwood

Leeds v Manchester United

Manchester United’s teenage sensation Mason Greenwood has finally rediscovered his shooting boots over the last few weeks, scoring both the opener and the winner against Burnley last week to make it five goals in his last four domestic appearances. He can make himself a Manchester United hero against a Leeds side that have conceded 50 league goals this season.

Matheus Pereira

Aston Villa v West Brom

West Brom aren’t dead in the water just yet and the excellent Matheus Pereira is doing his utmost to prolong their survival bid. He has scored three and assisted two more to fire the Baggies to consecutive victories and on Sunday he will face West Midlands rivals who have shipped eight goals in their last five outings.

Kelechi Iheanacho

Leicester v Crystal Palace

Kelechi Iheanacho’s second-half goal at Wembley last weekend fired Leicester into their first FA Cup Final since 1969 and the in-form striker can continue his hot streak on Monday. The 24-year-old had scored ten goals in his last seven appearances for Leicester ahead of the clash with West Brom on Thursday and has opened the scoring in three of his last five games, while Palace have conceded first in nine of their league away games this term.
