Drop
Didier Drogba
The Ivorian scored a clinical goal
and a provided a fine assist for Hazard in the midweek, yet dropping him? It
might sound weird but Chelsea have treasuries of sublime attacking players, and
Drogbra ranks in second place. It’s fairly clear that the aggressive Spaniard
Diego Costa will be starting at St. James Park after being missed in the
midweek due to suspension. The returned Chelsea legend might be given some time
in the closing stages of the match, whereas for Loic Remy it would be another
day of being a spectator. Looking at the restricted game time for the 36-year
old, forlornly he needs to be left out of the fantasy premier league team.
Punt
Papiss Demba Cisse
In the midweek encounter against
Burnley, Cisse scored the equalizer that earned the Magpies a single point away
from home. Surprisingly he found the back of the net after two months and was
clearly outshined by young talent Ayoze Perez who constantly added his name to
the score sheet. Cisse comprises great pace, towering height and magnificent
strikes that can unlock any defense in the league. The Senegal international is
likely to play another 90 minutes this weekend but he will be up against a fully
organized and dominant back line. St James Park welcome table toppers Chelsea,
will the 29-year old serve us a surprise?
Hot
Wilfried Bony
The powerhouse forward is one of
the finest finishers in the Premier League at the moment. Despite a slow start
of the season, the Ivorian is back doing what he loves, firing in goals. The 6
feet tall player has found the back of the net six times and regularly a threat
each time the Swans move forward. Last weekend he turned creator as he assisted
for Swansea’s first goal against QPR. His most notable feature is his physical
strength that causes defenders to stumble or easily giving away falls,
especially in the penalty box. He was highly linked with a move to Anfield, yet
cemented faith ith The Jacks. With Gylfi Sigurdsson’s outstanding assisting aptitude,
Bony can constantly find the back of the net. An away trip to Upton could be
tricky, yet the Hammers don’t have the best of defensive records, only three
clean sheets this season.
