GW31 Fixtures and matchups to target in FPL
Before we get into our odds predictions, we want to first look at this week’s round of fixtures to see what teams have nice set of fixtures.

From this week’s round of fixtures, here are the games that you should be looking to target as an FPL manager.
1. Man City vs Leicester
In this highly anticipated matchup, Man City faces off against Leicester City, a team that has struggled defensively this season. Leicester City’s defensive record this season is poor, having conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game and with an expected goals conceded (xGC) of 50.4, the third-highest in the league this season.
Man City, on the other hand, has one of the best-attacking records in the Premier League, having scored 2.6 goals per game and boasting an xG of 62.8, the highest in the division. They have also created the most big chances all season, indicating that they have the firepower to score many goals against Leicester’s vulnerable defense.
The matchup heavily favors Man City, and they have a good chance of walking out of the game with a clean sheet. With the title race heating up, Man City needs to win all their matches, and this is one game that they could dominate.
2. Nott’m Forest vs Man United
The Man United vs Nott’m Forest matchup in GW31 presents an excellent opportunity for FPL managers to target United defenders and attackers. With United’s superior form and stats, and Nott’m Forest’s struggles at both ends of the pitch, there is a high probability of both clean sheets and goals for United players in this game. FPL managers who want to maximize their points haul should strongly consider investing in Man United players for this matchup.
3. Leeds vs Liverpool
Liverpool will face Leeds United. Liverpool’s form before the Arsenal game wasn’t great but they managed to come back from a two-goal deficit to draw against the Gunners. The second-half performance showed glimpses of Liverpool’s old selves. Leeds, on the other hand, were poor against Crystal Palace in their previous game, conceding a high xG of 3.15. This match is a perfect opportunity for Liverpool to build on their recent improvement and secure a much-needed win.
That being said, FPL managers should not discount Leeds’ attacking potential, which could lead to a high-scoring affair. Liverpool attackers should be high on the list of targets for FPL managers.
Premier League GW31 clean sheet odds
According to current bookmaker odds, Man City, Spurs, Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal are the top five teams with the best chance of keeping a clean sheet in GW31.

Based on the clean sheet odds for GW31, FPL managers should target defenders from teams that have a high probability of keeping a clean sheet. Teams such as Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal all have a good chance of keeping a clean sheet in their respective fixtures.
Manchester City have the highest chance of keeping a clean sheet in GW31 with a 51% probability, followed by Tottenham Hotspur with a 44% chance. Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal all have a probability of 38%, 36% and 35% respectively.
FPL managers may want to consider investing in defenders from these teams, such as Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake or John Stones from Manchester City, Ivan Perisic from Tottenham Hotspur, Dalot or Martinez from Manchester United, Trent Alexander-Arnold or Andrew Robertson from Liverpool, and Gabriel or White from Arsenal.
On the other hand, FPL managers should be cautious of selecting defenders from teams with a low probability of keeping a clean sheet such as Leicester City, West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth. It may be wise to avoid defenders from these teams for GW31.
