Setting the Table: Gameweek 33 Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our Setting the Table series.

Looking Back

Harry Kane's incredible run of form continued right along last weekend, finding the back of the net in Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Liverpool. While Spurs supporters weren't happy about failing to keep pace with Leicester City, who won 1-0 for the fourth consecutive match. However, fantasy owners surely didn't care, as Kane has now scored six goals in the last four.

Meanwhile, Chelsea finally broke out the youngsters, as Matt Miazga got his first Premier League start, while Alexandre Pato and Jake Clark-Salter were given their debuts. Given their place in the table, Chelsea are expected to continue using squad rotation to get their younger players in, which means we could see more Bertrand Traore, Kenedy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Baba Rahman, among others.

Looking Ahead

There are a few heavy favorites this weekend, with Manchester City unsurprisingly getting solid odds against West Brom, though there could certainly be some lineup surprises given that they played Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this week and they'll play the return leg next week. The bookmakers are still expecting a blowout Saturday, as Man City have a 65 percent chance of scoring multiple goals, and a 39 percent chance of scoring at least three. The return of Kevin De Bruyne, who scored against PSG, has done wonders already. Unfortunately, it's too late for their title hopes.

Southampton at home against Newcastle looks ripe for taking advantage of, though manager Ronald Koeman continues to move his attacking pieces in and out of the first XI. That being said, Graziano Pelle seems the safest bet thanks to his three goals in his last three starts.

Liverpool's match against Stoke also looks attractive, and with Roberto Firmino still working his way back from a hamstring injury, the Reds will likely rely on Daniel Sturridge yet again. That being said, they play Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League on Thursday, which will force rotation at some point.
