MOHAMED SALAH LIVERPOOL The 2017-18 and 2018-19 Golden Boot winner started the season on flames with 13 goals in his first 13 league games, but his form has dropped big time since the end of 2020! He’s only hit four goals in his last 15 matches and went on a six-game goal drought between December and January–his joint-worst run as a Red. He could equal it again if he fails to score this week! GAMES: 28 ★ GOALS: 17 HARRY KANE TOTTENHAM The two-time Golden Boot winner hasn’t got his hands on the award since 2016-17, so he’s hungry for the trophy! The most impressive thing about Kane this season hasn’t just been his goals, though–it’s the fact he’s also sitting at the top of the assists charts. This is…

HOW HE WON IT! MATCH scouts picked out the Prem’s four best players from March and asked our fans on social media to vote for the best! The Foxes’ goal machine stormed ahead of Luke Shaw, Andreas Christensen and Riyad Mahrez! TWO ON THE BOUNCE! BRIGHTON 1-2 LEICESTER MARCH 6 Kelechi followed up his wondergoal against Burnley with another calmly-taken equaliser v Brighton! He received a classy through ball from Youri Tielemans, waited for Roberto Sanchez to commit himself and then dinked the ball over the keeper for his first goal in back-to-back league matches since April 2020! TOP TEKKERS! BURNLEY 0-1 LEICESTER MARCH 3 The Foxes went 1-0 down to Burnley after just four minutes, but a moment of brilliance from the Nigeria striker gave them the equaliser before…

POMPEY AND PROUD! Mason Tony Mount was born on the south coast, in Portsmouth, and has been a lifelong Pompey fan! His first-ever game was at Fratton Park with his dad and the England star recently said that playing against their big rivals Southampton in the Premier League always means more to him – especially if he can get on the scoresheet! LOAN LESSONS! Playing regularly on loan at Dutch side Vitesse and later at Championship club Derby definitely helped Mount develop into the player he is today! After his successful spell at The Rams under Frank Lampard, he returned to The Blues with a fire in his belly to break into the first-team squad – and he hasn’t looked back since his Prem debut in August 2019! ACADEMY RISE!…

Watford are on a similar sizzling streak, notching nine wins in their last ten outings and are battling with Swansea and Brentford for automatic promotion! WICKED WONDERKIDS!

THE EARLY DAYS! RYAN SAYS: “I qualified for an event in Munich on FIFA 17 and won it, which then led to me qualifying for the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Finals. It was my first-ever tournament and I sort of ‘fell’ into eSports, as I didn’t intend to qualify for the event, but I ranked in the top five in the world for that specific month on FUT Champions which ensured my qualification!” FIFA 21 FAN? RYAN SAYS: “I don’t mind FIFA 21, in all honesty. It’s not a perfect game but I’ve sort of learnt over they ears that there’ll never technically be a ‘perfect’ game appreciated by everyone, so I try not to focus on what I think about it. I do prefer it to FIFA 19…
