For another huge £500 guaranteed contest on Sportito this weekend, it’s back to the tried and tested formula of picking up four Spurs assets for your starting XI.
After effectively surrendering the title to Chelsea at West Ham last weekend, Mauricio Pochettino’s men will face a Man United side jaded by tonight’s semi-final against Celta Vigo.
Unless United contrive to lose the tie from such a strong position, Jose Mourinho will protect all his best players from injury ahead of the Europa League final in Stockholm on Wednesday 24 May.
This means Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen could face a rear-guard shorn of crucial defenders such as Eric Bailly and Antonio Valencia, with Alli’s favoured left-hand side likely to be stewarded by the inexperienced 19-year-old Axel Tuanzebe.
Still chasing three more goals for 20 in the Premier League, Alli is our number one Spurs pick for the weekend. The England international, who opened the scoring in the corresponding fixture last season, should find a way to increase his Sportito points per game (PPG) average of 9.49.
The other two matches that fall under this Winner takes £125 contest are Hull City’s trip to Crystal Palace and Champions League chasing Liverpool’s must-win game at West Ham.
Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke have tested the patience of Sportito players in recent weeks, but could both find their way into Sunday teams, mainly due to a lack of forward options.
With doubts over Mourinho’s front-line and a midfield classification for Roberto Firmino, we might be forced to find two forwards from the Selhurst Park six-pointer. Palace have failed to score in three matches since winning at Anfield, while the Tigers have drawn a blank in their last two.
Despite a dearth of obvious forward options, the midfield selection should be more straightforward. There are only four players fit and available for this contest who are in double figures for the season – Alli, Heung-Min Son, Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, while Eriksen is second only to Kevin de Bruyne for assists with 17.
We sign off with a couple of potential extras for your Sportito XI. Having scored four league goals this season, adventurous left-sided defender Patrick van Aanholt should profit from Big Sam’s injury problems at Palace to gain a third consecutive league start.
Finally, we’re prepared to back the penalty taking James Milner (6.46 PPG), despite his rare miss against Southampton. Four of his seven spot kick successes have come on the road, while he has picked up 4.00 points for clean sheets in his last three of his last four appearances at left back.
