What the experts say
Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

There are a wealth of options this weekend. I'll likely go for Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) as he has been so consistent at Anfield this season. His 47 points at home are joint-top across the game so far this season. I also think Son Heung-min (£9.7m) away at Wolves and Bukayo Saka (£8.6m), if fit, at home to Burnley look great choices.

I'll captain Saka, if he's fit, as he has the best fixture and I expect a response from Arsenal.

Saka and Salah look like the standout picks, but Saka hasn't shown enough form recently for me, so I will be going with Salah.

Salah looks the obvious choice on paper, but I can't help but feel it's Darwin Nunez (£7.5m) that seems to hog the chances at Liverpool right now. Erling Haaland (£14.0m) is also in my thoughts, as is Ollie Watkins (£8.4m), whose Aston Villa side have a superb record at home in the league.

The two standouts for me this week are Salah and Saka, if the latter recovers from the knock he picked up in the UEFA Champions League, with their home fixtures. I predict a bigger scoreline at Emirates Stadium but I question Saka's reliability of late so this will be a tough decision.

Currently my armband is on Salah as Liverpool are back at Anfield. However, I am tempted by the home form of Villa and Watkins against a Fulham side who have struggled defensively this season.

Saka is my priority transfer in this week and he'll be in the running for the armband along with Salah.
