Mané and Salah has poor records against Man U historically. But Salah has scored more returns vs top 6 opposition this season.
As soon as Mané's bookie odds probability of scoring reaches the 45% mark (which is does this time) he almost always gets the job done.
Vardy's away record is ridiculous and even though he had a pretty tough game vs Burnley in the reverse fixture, this game suits his current form.
KDB's xGI has dropped significantly last couple of games. We'll see what it means for this game. WhoScored expects Man City to score 3 goals which usually means KDB will get his goal involvement.
Ings and Abraham has the clear worst underlying stats among these assets. Ings has a decent record vs Wolves. The Bookies thinks Ings has a chance of 46% to score a goal but the spreadsheet rates him higher.

MF: Havertz (£8.4m) - After a tough start, Havertz has been dumped by a lot of frustrated managers, but Lampard opted to give him a start in the Carabao cup in midweek, which may prove a master stroke as the German went on to...
DEF: Lamptey (£4.5m) - As a team, Brighton passed the eye test against Chelsea, who were hugely flattered by a 3-1 score line, and few stood out like the young right back. Playing as a RWB in front of a back 3, Lamptey had plenty of room to roam and looked lively all evening,...
...eventually nabbing an assist by providing the final pass behind Trossard’s long range equaliser.
As the new season begins I wanted to start a new series where I use my tactical knowledge as a football coach and apply it to FPL. We will take a look at the skills and roles of players and how it affects the FPL output of themselves and their teammates.
Part 1: Fulham
The majority of this thread will focus on Arsenal’s players since they are the most interesting FPL assets. But I wanted to share my view on how Fulham looked in this game to give you an idea of how they might perform this season. To summarize their attack:
