Liverpool, though, were not able to capitalize on the Chelsea result as they failed to hold a lead twice at the Stadium of Light against Sunderland. Guardiola's men finally showed some resolve as they beat Burnley despite being down to ten men for more than an hour. United continued their surge with a comfortable 2-0 win against Wet Ham in the Olympic stadium coming to within a couple of points of Arsenal.

Picks for Gameweek 20

1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (11.6): It is impossible to drop the Swede right now as he has 11 goals in the last 11 appearances in the league to go with four assists during the same period. Still not convinced? 43.3% of the people have him in their teams so you could possibly fall down your league table pretty quickly due to the Swede's absence in your team.

3. Olivier Giroud (8.6): I said it last week and I will say it again - Olivier Giroud is a player who will get you the points you have been missing in the earlier part of the season. After scoring three goals in as many games during the festive season, Arsenal now have Swansea (A), Burnley (H), and Watford (H) in their next three league games. Giroud has hit a purple patch and only 4.9% of the players have capitalized on it.

Midfielders

5. Alexis Sanchez(11.9): While I very rarely recommend two players from the same team, Arsenal's run of fixtures has made it an easy option to take. He even broke his three-match duck against Bournemouth last week, and with 143 points, he has the highest number of points in the league.

6. Raheem Sterling (7.7): A bright start to the season was followed by a drastic slump in form for the Englishman. However, in the last 5 games, Sterling has been directly involved in five goals for the Manchester Club and it looks like City are finally getting the bets out of the former Liverpool player now.

Defenders

9. Charlie Daniels (5.2): As a defender, Daniels has scored three goals and assisted the same number in the 18 games he has played this season. Daniels and Bournemouth have kept 6 clean sheets as well. At a price of 5.2, Daniels is a very good player to have in the team.

10. Jose Holebas (4.8): The Watford full-back has been highly inconsistent over the last couple months, but next up for them Middlesbrough at Vicarage Road. Middlesbrough have struggled to get too many goals this season and it is highly unlikely that they would be able to trouble the Londoners in Saturday's encounter.

11. Victor Valdes (4.5): While Middlesbrough's attack has been inconsistent this season, their defence has been exceptional Valdez has been at the centre of everything good that the Riverside-based team have done this season. Valdes is priced at just 4.5 and playing behind a defensive team has the ability to win some points on his own for his club.

Differentials

Matt Phillips (5.8): The 25-year-old Scot has earned his managers more FPL points this season than he has in previous seasons. The left winger has already assisted his teammates 8 times which is more than Christian Eriksen and Adam Lallana this season.

Chris Brunt(5.0): The West Brom player has been deployed in a number of different positions this season. However, he is listed as a defender in the game which means that he can get you a cleansheet playing as a central midfielder as well. He is also a favorite to take freekicks at certain angles outside the box.
