Fantasy Premier League: Four transfers to target for DW34:
Eberechi Eze vs West Ham (H) and Newcastle (H)
Crystal Palace are one of three teams who play back-to-back home games in Gameweek 34. The Eagles head into the weekend after a shock success at Liverpool last time out, becoming the first team to win at Anfield in the Premier League this season.
Eberechi Eze scored the decisive goal on Merseyside and has four goals in his last seven league appearances, either side of a muscular injury. The 25-year-old will want to retain his form and fitness as he looks to earn a place in the England squad for Euro 2024.

With two winnable home games, Eze will be an enticing differential for players looking to climb their mini-leagues and who want to avoid the obvious names. Much of Palace’s positive work often flows through the midfielder.
Matheus Cunha vs Arsenal (H) and Bournemouth (H)
Matheus Cunha made his return to the starting side with a bang last weekend, scoring twice as Wolves drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest.
The Brazilian has had a career-best campaign at Molineux, scoring 11 times in the Premier League this season. He has been in exceptional form on either side of a recent injury, providing 14 goals and assists in his last 13 Premier League starts.

Wolves are on a four-game winless run, but back-to-back home games offer hope that Gary O’Neil’s team can salvage their fading hopes of European football.
Mohamed Salah vs Fulham (A) and Everton (A)
Mohamed Salah has struggled to find his form in recent weeks for Liverpool with the 31-year-old looking short of his usual best. A wasteful few weeks should not overly concern when it comes to selecting Salah this weekend, however, and the Egyptian should figure highly for the captaincy.
His underlying numbers remain good, leading the Premier League for shots (23) and big chances (6) across the last four games. One goal has been a poor return from those statistics and Salah owners will be hoping for a haul this week.
Trips to Fulham and Everton represent tricky ties for Liverpool, though the Reds can not afford any more slip-ups after last weekend’s setback against Crystal Palace. Salah returned to the scoresheet with a penalty in the midweek win at Atalanta.
Kai Havertz vs Wolves (A) and Chelsea (H)
The experiment of using Kai Havertz as a centre-forward has been largely successful for Arsenal in recent weeks, with the German producing a purple patch in front of goal.
Classified as a midfielder in FPL, his usage further forward adds to his appeal as Arsenal prepare to take on Wolves and Chelsea in GW34. After a frustrating Champions League exit to Bayern Munich, Arsenal will turn full attention to the Premier League title race and will be aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s loss to Aston Villa.
In his last eight games, Havertz has five Premier League goals and four assists.
