Dominic Calvert-Lewin (CRY)

Calvert-Lewin ended a run of three matches without a return against Burnley in his last Premier League outing, before netting a brace for England on international duty. The 24-year-old has been afforded four ‘big chances’ in the last four gameweeks, ranking just behind Kane (five) and Iheanacho (seven) amongst forwards, as per our Stats Sandbox feature. Just five players in his position can better his eight SiB, during that period. Everton have conceded six goals over as many gameweeks and are ranked ninth for ‘big chances’ (12). Palace have conceded eight goals over the same period and only six teams have conceded more. Meanwhile, Sheff. Utd (62) and Wolves (63) are the only two sides to have allowed opponents more SiB than Palace's 59. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 5.5 for the Englishman.

Stuart Dallas (SHU)

Dallas has averaged 4.8 PPG at Elland Road this season, having landed five clean sheets, three goals and one assist in 14 matches. No defender can better his 1.73 expected goals (xG) figure at home, while only Alexander-Arnold (17) and Maguire (18) have fired more than his 16 shots. Semedo (eight), is the only player to have landed more than his six SoT. Leeds haven't been too bad at the back of late, conceding just nine goals over the last six gameweeks, and managing two clean sheets. They are ranked 15th for SiB conceded and 11th for ‘big chances’ conceded (11). Sheff. Utd’s poor attacking numbers offer plenty of reason for optimism. The Blades have scored just one goal over the last six gameweeks while only Palace (23) have taken fewer SiB than their 25. Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a 50% chance of a Leeds clean sheet and a point score of 4.9 for Dallas.
