This article is part of our Premier League Projections series.
Gameweek 36 is here and provides a couple of big mismatches (more than two-goal differential). Obvious candidates in this department come from Manchester City (hosting Queens Park Rangers) and Arsenal (hosting Swansea City). However, Everton (hosting Sunderland) and Chelsea (hosting Liverpool) are also expected to coast to easy wins this weekend. Not only are all four teams projected to score multiple goals, all four teams provide the highest chances for a clean sheet.In the goal department, the four aforementioned clubs are joined by Hull City, Stoke City and Tottenham in the multiple goal department. Outside of the obvious names, this makes players like Dame N'Doye and Charlie Adam interesting options.
On the flip side, low-scoring affairs are expected at King Power Stadium, where Leicester City hosts Southampton, and at St. James' Park, where Newcastle are hosting West Brom. Attacking options from these four clubs should be avoided this weekend. This means it may be a good week to put some of the Foxes on the bench. Don't sell quite yet, as they are projected to have good value in the final two weeks. In addition, it may be best to stay away from attacking options from Liverpool, Sunderland and Burnley, as all three teams are likely candidates to be blanked.
Defensively, options like Leighton Baines and Aleksander Kolarov are fantastic plays this weekend, as both Everton and Manchester City are projected for clean sheets and multiple goals. The combination of the two makes both players dual threats to add fantasy value. With a match against Stoke City, Tottenham defenders may appear to be a good play, though the projections say this may not be the case. The Potters project to score the sixth-most goals this weekend which would make Spurs defenders worth avoiding. The top five clean sheet candidates are: Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Manchester City and Hull City.
