Believe it or not – we are already just over a third of the way through the 2020/21 Premier League season.
Following an eventful round of midweek fixtures, we only have until 11:00 (GMT) on Saturday, December 19 to finalise our transfers for Gameweek 14.
Let’s take a look at the upcoming fixtures before checking out the weekend’s top player picks.
• Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool
• Southampton vs. Manchester City
• Everton vs. Arsenal
• Newcastle vs. Fulham
• Brighton vs. Sheffield United
• Tottenham vs. Leicester
• Manchester United vs. Leeds
• West Brom vs. Aston Villa
• Burnley vs. Wolves
• Chelsea vs. West Ham
In Saturday’s early kick-off, Palace host league-leaders Liverpool, who now have a three-point lead at the top following their midweek win over second-place Tottenham.
Seventh-place Chelsea face eighth-place West Ham, with just one point separating the London rivals in the table.
With 13 games already played, Sheffield United remain the only winless side left in the Premier League this term. The Blades visit Brighton this weekend.
There were clean sheets for Robin Olsen (Everton), Alphonse Areola (Fulham), Robert Sanchez (Brighton), Emi Martinez (Aston Villa) and Nick Pope (Burnley) in the previous round.
Olsen will be confident of achieving another shutout this weekend, with low-scoring Arsenal visiting Goodison Park. Sanchez comes up against struggling Sheff Utd, while Martinez faces second-bottom West Brom on Saturday.
All of those players are good budget picks. But if you’re looking for a premium option, Alisson is back for Liverpool. The defending champions visit Palace on Saturday.
Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) is now the fourth-highest scoring FPL defender following the Villains’ clean sheet against Burnley on Thursday. Full-back Matt Targett (Aston Villa) is also a sensible selection.
Frank Lampard will be looking to keep things tight at the back following successive defeats. Kurt Zouma (Chelsea) and Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) are certain starters in the Blues’ backline.
Burnley are now the lowest scorers in the division. With Wolves visiting Turf Moor on Monday, Willy Boly (Wolves), Conor Coady (Wolves) and Nelson Semedo (Wolves) are likely to pick up points.
If you haven’t got Son Heung-min (Tottenham) in your team already, what are you doing? The South Korean scored again at the weekend, taking his tally to 11 goals and four assists in 13 appearances.
With Diogo Jota (Liverpool) out for a few weeks through injury, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Sadio Mane are guaranteed starters again for the Reds.
Following his screamer against Newcastle on Wednesday, Jack Harrison (Leeds) was the second-highest scoring midfielder in the previous round, behind Marcus Rashford (Manchester United).
Theo Walcott (Southampton), Daniel Podence (Wolves), Pedro Neto (Wolves), and Jeff Hendrick (Newcastle) are all in good form, too.
Despite losing to Man Utd, David McGoldrick (Sheffield United) scored twice to become the highest-scoring forward in the last round, just ahead of Rodrigo (Leeds).
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) will be confident of adding to his tally of six goals and one assist when he comes up against the Premier League’s worst defence – West Brom – on Sunday.
Leeds have also been conceding goals at an alarming rate, meaning Anthony Martial (Manchester United) is likely to get plenty of chances at Old Trafford on Sunday.
