Salah has made a relatively quiet start to the season by his high standards, returning just one goal and one assist across the opening three fixtures. The Egyptian has managed only four shots in the box and created four chances so far.
However, as shown in the Player Heatmaps feature below, his away form last season was outstanding. He averaged 10.1 points per game on the road, while no player could better his away 'Expected Goals' (xG) tally of 17.15.
Liverpool have scored eight goals over the opening three Gameweeks (first) and are top for shots on target (17).
Their hosts Burnley have conceded six goals, with only West Ham and Wolves (eight) faring worse. The Clarets are bottom for both shots in the box conceded (38) and 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) (6.61).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a score of 7.9 for Salah.
Haaland has scored three goals over the opening three Gameweeks, as shown in the below image from our Opta Stats Sandbox he is top for shots in the box (13), 'big chances' (six) and xG (2.91).
Man. City have scored five goals (fourth) this season and are ranked second for 'big chances' (eight) with only Chelsea (12) faring better.
Their cross-town rivals Man. Utd. have conceded four goals so far (eighth) and have kept no clean sheets. The Red Devils are ranked fourth for shots in the box conceded (20) and 10th for xGC (4.12).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a score of 6.8 for Haaland.
Semenyo has found the back of the net twice over the first three Gameweeks and is top amongst midfielders for shots in the box (nine), 'big chances' (five) and xG (2.37).
As the below image from our Transfer Analytics feature shows, he is currently the second most transferred in player this week.
Bournemouth have scored four goals this season (eighth), the Cherries are ranked third for shots in the box (31) and fourth for xG (5.19).

Palace will be relying heavily on Mateta to provide the goals with Sarr injured. As shown in the below image from our Opta Stats Sandbox, the French international is joint-top amongst Palace players for shots in the box (three), while only Sarr has been afforded more 'big chances' (two vs three).
Palace have scored four goals over the opening three Gameweeks (eighth) and are ranked seventh for shots on target (12).
Their opponents Sunderland have conceded three goals (fifth) and have kept one clean sheet, the Black Cats are ranked second for shots in the box conceded (16) and fifth for xGC (3.22).
