<h2>Sky Gameweek 9 preview</h2>
<p>The Premier League returns with a full fixture list this weekend after another dull international break.</p>
<p>There are three days of action to navigate but hopefully nothing too tricky.</p>
<p>The worst day of the three is the Monday night game between Leicester and Nottingham Forest - but it could still be fruitful for Sky managers.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<h3>Saturday fixtures</h3>
<p>Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby first up on Saturday.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) </strong>is 76.8% owned in the top 1k and could be a popular captain option.</p>
<p><strong>Harry Kane (£11.6m) </strong> is sitting in 64% of the top 1k, while many will be looking at <strong>Son Heung-min (£11.6m)</strong> after his hat-trick last time out against Leicester.</p>
<p>Son is owned by just 10% of the top 1k and netted 22 points in the last game.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Liverpool face Brighton at Anfield and those who have kept the faith with <strong>Mohamed Salah (£11.7m)</strong> will be hoping for a goal or two.</p>
<p>The Egyptian is in just 25.5% of the top 1k, which is the lowest I can remember his ownership being barring times when he’s been injured.</p>
<p>A big haul will do wonders for those who still have him.</p>
<p>Owners of Liverpool defensive assets will be hoping for a clean sheet. The likes of <strong>Alisson (£8.0m)</strong>, <strong>Virgil van Dijk (£10.7m) </strong>and <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£10.8m)</strong> all have low ownerships in the top 1k - 6.9%, 12.1% and 4.8% respectively.</p>
<p>Crystal Palace v Chelsea will be an interesting battle. How will Chelsea line up?</p>
<p>Will <strong>Wesley Fofana</strong> be a starter at £7.5m? Will <strong>Kalidou Koulibaly (£9.3m)</strong> keep his place?</p>
<p>I’m also interested to see the passing stats for Chelsea under Graham Potter, I would have thought they’d be good still.</p>
<p>Crystal Palace have a great run of fixtures after the Chelsea game, so players like <strong>Wilfried Zaha (£8.5m)</strong> and the defenders <strong>Marc Guehi (£8.0m)</strong> and <strong>Joachim Anderson (£7.9m)</strong> could be of interest.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Two strikers to also keep an eye on are <strong>Aleksander Mitrovic </strong>and <strong>Ivan Toney</strong>. Fulham face Newcastle and Brentford play Bournemouth.</p>
<h3>Sunday fixtures</h3>
<p>There are two games on Sunday, with the standout fixture being the early kick off between Manchester City and Manchester United.</p>
<p>This is great for those just wanting to make sure <strong>Erling Haaland (£11.5m)</strong> starts, although I can’t see him not starting a game like the Manchester derby.</p>
<p>Haaland is in 90.6% of the top 1k and I think after his start to the season he’s an automatic captaincy choice whenever City play.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Leeds United v Aston Villa is of little interest to me. The unfortunate news of the injury to <strong>Boubacar Kamara (£6.8m) </strong>means many Sky managers will have to move him on. I know some have already.</p>
<p>Kamara is still currently in 7% of the top 1k.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<h3>Monday matches</h3>
<p>Monday night sees the Leicester v Nottingham Forest game. Those with <strong>Brennan Johnson (£7.2m) </strong>will be hoping this is a game he can grab an attacking return in.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Henderson (£6.5m)</strong> owners will just be hoping it’s not a minus score.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Johnson is in 16.9% of the top 1k, while Henderson is in 11.2%.</p>
