Jamie Vardy

Leicester City v Arsenal

Leicester invariably look to talisman Jamie Vardy to inspire them on the big occasion and he could once again be the Foxes’ main man against Arsenal. Vardy has been a thorn in Arsenal’s side down the years, netting 11 goals in 12 games against the Gunners, including the first strike four times.

Harry Kane

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley

With his partner in crime Son Heung-min in the midst of a dry spell, Harry Kane is shouldering the majority of the goal-scoring responsibility at Spurs. The homegrown talisman notched four goals in his last seven league starts and Kane broke the deadlock with all but one of those strikes.

Olivier Giroud

Chelsea v Manchester United

Seasoned centre-forward Olivier Giroud proved his worth in midweek when he scored Chelsea’s winning goal against Atletico Madrid. That was the second time in three matches where the French target man got Chelsea up and running and Giroud can lead the line with authority again when the Blues host United.

Mohamed Salah

Sheffield United v Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has kept his standards high even if his Liverpool teammates haven’t, and the Egyptian was responsible for five of the Reds’ last seven goals in all competitions. Salah fired Liverpool in front three times during that run and the struggling Merseysiders will look to him for inspiration again at Bramall Lane.
