Goalkeepers
Choose 'em: Hull keeper Boaz Myhill (6.52) may have conceded seven goals in his last two games, but that was against last season's two European Cup finalists. Expect him to have an easier time of it against Bolton Wanderers at home.
But the Trotters aren't the lowest scoring side in the league. That honour goes to Fulham, who have netted just eight times so far this season. Shay Given (3.41), in goal for a resurgent Newcastle, isn't the man the Cottager's strikers would pick to face under such circumstances.
Lose 'em: In the future, when the European Super League becomes a reality, Arsenal v Manchester United will be dubbed the 'English Derby'. Given the unpredictable nature of such fixtures, it's probably best to steer clear of Edwin van der Sar (12.79) and Manuel Almunia (9.33).
West Ham may have ended their dismal run of four straight defeats, but they host an Everton side who have Tim Cahill back fit and Louis Saha off the mark, so the tempting price of Robert Green (6.51) may prove a red herring, as is Paul Robinson (2.68), who is in for a tough afternoon as Chelsea look to take out their European disappointment on Blackburn.
Defenders
Choose 'em: Liverpool's Alvaro Arbeloa (9.22) is underrated when it comes to his attacking contribution, and he should make West Brom's sturdy full-back Paul Robinson (6.36) look sluggish.
