Spurs are still missing some key personnel but that means rotation is rare and Son is thought to be on penalties, though Tottenham are one of three teams to have not yet been awarded a spot-kick this season.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erling Haaland<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/01hgv12qp85taydb7prh.jpg\" alt=\"Simon Hooper, Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland, Mateo Kovacic\" title=\"Simon Hooper, Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland, Mateo Kovacic\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Haaland must put his fury to one side against Aston Villa \/ James Gill \u2013 Danehouse\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fixture<\/strong>: Aston Villa (A);\u00a0<strong>Predicted Points<\/strong>: 7.7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An away game shouldn\u2019t put Erling Haaland owners off awarding him the armband, as the Norwegian has managed 16-point hauls in each of his last two away games. He arrives at this fixture bang in form, with three goals and three assists in the last four gameweeks.<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa are without a clean sheet in each of their last eight games and face a tough test against the best attack in the Premier League this season. Haaland also has penalties in his locker and scored in this fixture last term.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully \u2013 for FPL owners but maybe not Premier League defenders \u2013 he avoids an FA ban.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mohamed Salah<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/01hgv168rx2xm56j8jvx.jpg\" alt=\"Mohamed Salah\" title=\"Mohamed Salah\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Salah is still eyeing his 200th Liverpool goal \/ MB Media\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fixture<\/strong>: Sheffield United (A);\u00a0<strong>Predicted Points<\/strong>: 7.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mohamed Salah might be third in the AI rankings but remains top of the FPL scoring charts and is winning the race for the armband in my team as Liverpool travel to manager-less Sheffield United, who have the worst defensive record this season.<\/p>\n<p>Salah has returned two goals and two assists in the last four gameweeks and is also on penalties, with Liverpool winning four spot-kicks already in this campaign.
