Injury Updates to Note

• Erling Haaland (Man City): Erling Haaland is fit to play, and may make his return, starting against Southampton this weekend.
• Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar (Newcastle): The pair are still being monitored, but their presence against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon is unlikely.

Top Transfer Targets

• Gvardiol, Kevin De Bruyne & Omar Marmoush (Man City): Pep Guardiola’s men are back to winning ways, having won five of their last six league games. Gvardiol (£7.6m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£9.5m) love a good assist and will bring in good points should City manage a clean sheet. Omar Marmoush (£7.6m) on the other hand is likely to score.
• Bryan Mbuemo & Yoane Wissa (Brentford): Brentford beat Nottingham Forest 2-0, and then followed that up with a 4-3 win against Manchester United. The good form is likely to continue aginst Ipswich this weekend. Yoane Wissa (£6.7m) and Bryan Mbuemo (£8.2m) have had goal contributions in their last two crucial fixtures, leaving them as a promising duo for FPL managers.
