Joshua King

Bournemouth v Burnley, 3pm Saturday

Joshua King has drawn level with Callum Wilson in the Premier League scoring charts and can carry his good form into Bournemouth's home clash with Burnley.

The speedy forward scored a brace against Newcastle before notching in each of Norway's matches during the international break and no Cherries player has had more than his 58 shots in the league.

Jamie Vardy

Huddersfield v Leicester, 3pm Saturday

Jamie Vardy has looked a rejuvenated force under Brendan Rodgers, scoring five goals in his last five matches, and he can draw first blood against already-relegated Huddersfield.

The striker is the top scorer outside of the Premier League’s top six clubs with 13 goals and can net against a Terriers side who have kept one clean sheet in their last ten Premier League fixtures.

Salomon Rondon

Newcastle v Crystal Palace, 3pm Saturday

No Magpies player had more than Salomon Rondon's two shots in the defeat to Arsenal and the striker can follow his lively performance with the opening strike at home to Crystal Palace.

Rondon is the club's top scorer with nine league goals and is a constant danger in the air.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

Everton v Arsenal, 2.05pm Sunday

Arsenal's away record leaves a lot to be desired and they could fall behind on their visit to Goodison Park.

Gylfi Sigurdsson looks the best bet to notch the opener, having played his part in 16 goals for Everton this season, and he often takes penalties for the Toffees.
