<h3><b>🤖 Hub AI pick: Bruno Fernandes – 6.6 predicted points</b></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Spurs (H)</strong></p>
<p>United’s recent xG (expected goals) stats are good without being great, but they’re scoring plenty of goals. Spurs have reasonable defensive stats too despite the pessimism of their fans. So why is Fernandes the top choice?</p>
<p>Spurs concede the most chances from their centre, but typically deal well with strikers and set up in a compact shape that doesn’t leave much space in behind. This does leave them vulnerable to surging runs from the midfield area however.</p>
<p>Fernandes' record against Spurs isn’t amazing. He’s recorded three goals and three assists in 11 starts, and hasn’t scored against them in years - although he picked up an assist in the reverse fixture.</p>
<p>He’s so influential to the team, his goal involvement under Michael Carrick is 50%. He has all the avenues to points and due to that involvement, he always does well on bps, so just an assist can often lead to bonus.</p>

<h3><b>2️⃣ Main alternative: Erling Haaland – 6.6 predicted points</b></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Liverpool (A)</strong></p>
<p>Although tied with Bruno for predicted points, the big man has let us down a few times now and Anfield is not an easy place to travel to, therefore I’ve dropped him to second.</p>
