Drop
Danny Welbeck
After missing four Premier League
matches for The Gunners, the former Manchester United forward is declared fit
to join the travelling squad to White Hart Lane this weekend. Arsene Wenger
would be cautious on giving Welbeck a start after his medical concerns,
moreover strike partner Olivier Giroud in on spectacular form, hence there is
no desperation to forcefully field the 24-year old finisher. Welbeck is widely
commended by Arsenal fans for his boundless energy to work from top to bottom
of the pitch, conversely hasn’t been the finest finisher, particularly in
one-on-one situations. He may get some playing time nearing the end of the
match but should be on the bench against Tottenham Hotspur.
Punt
Jermain Defoe
The England international who made
most of his name with Londoners, Tottenham Hotspur, alarmed the league of his
return with an easy tap in goal against Burnley. No doubt his immense premier
league experience will lend a helping hand for the Black Cats who are four
points away from the drop zone. Over the years, Defoe had the ability to
surpass defenders with pace plus quick feet, yet now at 32-year old, it might
be just too much to ask for. In addition, Defoe may not run 90 minutes on the
pitch as fellow strikers Connor Wickham, Steven Fletcher and Danny Graham are
also highly admired by Gus Poyet. This weekend, Sunderland travel to the Liberty
Stadium to face Swansea City who would be thriving in confidence after a narrow
1-0 victory over Southampton. Ashley Williams and his defensive co. are
relatively doing well at this back this season, nine clean sheets. Therefore,
if the former Spurs forward starts, he needs to outcast his A game to justify
his worth once again.
Hot
Daniel Sturridge
What Mario Balotelli failed to do
in 12 matches, the former Chelsea and Manchester City striker accomplished in
the matter of 12 minutes, scoring a goal after returning from a lengthy injury
spell. It was the moment all Merseyside Red fans were waiting for, finally a
brilliant out-and-out striker completes the team. The England starlet has a thunderous
left foot and dashing pace to offer nightmare for defenders. It’s a rumbustious
weekend for Sturridge and his team as they travel to Goodison Park for the exhilarating
Merseyside Derby. Everton are somewhat struggling to retain this inspiring form
last season yet earned a noteworthy triumph over Crystal Palace last weekend.
Each and every Liverpool fans will be placing high hopes on the 25-year old as
he has declared of being fit to start. Solid contender for the fantasy premier league.
