FPL Gameweek 6: Three Fixtures to target for FPL Points
Leeds vs Westham
Leeds are still struggling to get their first victory. Michail Antonio (£7.9) is back to action this week while Marcelo Bielsa is facing an injury crisis at his back line with Llorente, Struijk ruled out while Ayling (£4.5) is a major doubt.
In 5 games, Leeds managed to get ZERO cleansheets while being the most team to concede goal attempts on target (34) as well as from inside their penalty area(62) . Antonio could find himself partying in the center which is considered the most vulnerable side where Leeds have 32 chances conceded from this zone.

West-ham on the other side looked quite balanced team, yet they have managed to keep only 1 Clean-sheet in 5 games. The Ben-tonio Ionic bond is exploding this season. I am expecting both teams to score anyway.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa:
Old Trafford is still a tough place to go specially when being crowded and Ronaldo (£12.7) on the pitch. Cristiano is a Goalscore machine who can never be neglected in these matches which I can see a comfort win for the red devils.
Manchester are ranked third for the shots inside the box (79) with 15 big chances in total. For the the real threat, the red devils are second for shots on target (30) after Liverpool whom are having 39 in the same stat.
According to the odds (Via: Drafthound), Manchester united has a probability of 44% to get a cleansheet against the Villans. They also has 37% to score 2.5+ Goals which could be a standout fixture for Luke Shaw (£5.5) and Ronaldo.

Brentford vs Liverpool
The Bees are having very good form which wont be a trip fixture for Liverpool but never underestimate the Reds who cant stop scoring and proving they are title contenders.
I am not expecting too much goals but for sure this is a fixture to target. Thomas Frank and the Bees are having an amazing start with respect to a newly promoted team from the championship. With 2 wins , 2 draws and only 1 defeat they are sitting 9th in the PL table.
Yes they didn’t play against a top team yet however they showp some solidarity. Only Liverpool, Man city and Chelsea kept more cleansheets (4) than Brentford (3) as they conceded only 2 goals as well as they had the 2nd least shots on target(13) and shots inside their box(30).
Brentford showed some vulnerability on their right flank from which they conceded 21 chances. They are second in xGC (3.94) third for the least big chances conceded
