Ismaila Sarr (Watford) - 5.3M
Watford manager Javi Gracia rightly or wrongly is entering last chance saloon after a poor start to the season. The Hornets are the only side in the Premier League without a point to their name but a trip to Newcastle represents the ideal chance to change their fortunes.
Summer signings Danny Welbeck and Ismaila Sarr are finally ready to be unleashed against a Newcastle side savaged by injuries ahead of Saturday’s match. Sarr netted on his full Watford debut in the midweek EFL Cup matches and will hope to carry his good form from this summer’s Africa Cup of Nations into the Premier League. Sarr enjoyed his best ever season for Rennes last term prior to joining Watford, playing a direct hand in 14 goals.
Frederic Guilbert (Crystal Palace) - 5.2M
Frederic Guilbert’s omission from Aston Villa’s first two league matches came as a huge surprise following his impressive outings in pre-season and the 24-year-old’s introduction to the team has coincided with two straight wins in all competitions.
The Villa right-back looks eager to get forward and join the attack and has already netted his first Villa goal, coming in a 6-1 win over Crewe in the EFL Cup. Villa are out to win successive Premier League matches this weekend when they face a Crystal Palace outfit potentially crippled by injuries at the back.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) - 10.0M
Tottenham have made themselves the superior outfit in north London in recent years but all is not well for Mauricio Pochettino’s side heading into Sunday’s derby with Arsenal. Tottenham suffered a shock defeat to Newcastle last time out and Pochettino has conceded he has an unsettled team. There have even been reports suggesting he will walk out of the club after the weekend, though he has staunchly denied those claims.
Arsenal, meanwhile, still have a long way to go under Unai Emery following last weekend’s defeat to Liverpool but they have made progress and have a front three capable of inflicting fear to any defence in the league. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been a consistent goalscorer since joining Arsenal and have six goals in his previous seven appearances against Tottenham.
