David Raya - Clean sheet in win Raya made one save and clearance during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley.

Sergi Canos - Create three chances Canos created three chances on five crosses (four accurate) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley.

Impact Canos was a creative threat down the left flank once more as he continued a run of strong fantasy form. While he's not a massive goal-scoring or creating threat, Canos is worth considering in all formats. The wing-back should be a strong play against Leicester next time out.

Ivan Toney - Brace for win Toney scored twice on two shots during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley.

Impact Toney scored twice and now has five goals in his last two matches, an absurd strike rate for the forward. With this sort of blistering form it's hard to look past Toney in any match, in fact, in his last four starts, Toney has seven goals. Those are Robert Lewandowski-like numbers. Next up for Toney is a Sunday trip to Leicester.
