Adam Jones has put all his eggs in two baskets, namely Chelsea and Man City.

Tottenham and Liverpool do battle in the game of the weekend so he’s avoided both sets of players simply because the clash is too close to call.

Instead he’s backing Chelsea and Man City to both turn over Cardiff and Fulham respectively, picking three players from each side.

Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson, who has 25 Dream Team points so far, is the sole representative from outside those two clubs as the Cherries face Leicester.

WILSON!

Nick Elliott says Cardiff are allergic to goals at the best times so a trip to Stamford Bridge screams Chelsea clean sheet.

West Ham lost 4-0 at Goodison last season and they’ve started this campaign in hilariously bad form. It feels like a Gylfi Sigurdsson Star Man weekend, doesn’t it?

Sergio Aguero has a seriously impressive record against newly promoted teams.

Fulham may be bold at the Etihad as parking the bus doesn’t suit them, so an open game equals goals and City’s all-time top scorer rarely misses out.

Michael Golson fancies Chelsea and Kepa to keep a clean-sheet against goal-shy Cardiff this weekend, while his back-line is all about points-scoring left-backs.

With Spurs missing their goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, Sadio Mane will be licking his lips at the prospect of travelling to Wembley and the prospect of adding to his four goals this season.

He also predicts Watford’s great start to the season will continue as they take on stuttering Man United, with Troy Deeney the man to bully Mourinho’s back-line.
