Robin Roefs, Sunderland, £4.7m, keeper – Everton (h)

You can’t ignore Sunderland’s fine start to the season, particularly their defence.

Roefs is the top-scoring keeper already – thanks to four clean sheets and a penalty save – and faces an Everton side that has scored just three times in their past six games.

Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland, £4.1m – Everton (h)

If you’re backing Sunderland’s defence, why not go all in with the double-up.

I picked Omar Alderete over Mukiele for their trip to Chelsea and it was the latter who ended up with 17-point return.

There’s very little to separate the two in terms of expected goals (xG) and expected assists (xA). Both great budget choices, but Alderete is an injury doubt this week.

Gabriel, £6.5m, and Jurrien Timber, £6.1m, both Arsenal – Burnley (a)

How can you avoid having at least one of this pair in your team at the moment?

Burnley have found their scoring boots, with five goals in two games, but this is Arsenal’s defence.

They last conceded in any competition on 28 September, a run of six successive clean sheets.

Daniel Munoz, Crystal Palace, £5.7m – Brentford (h)

Forget defensive contribution points, Munoz is the man to turn to if you want attacking returns from your defenders.

The Colombian has four already (one goal, three assists) and it’s partly due to his position on the pitch – he’s effectively a right winger at times.

Munoz has had 10 shots in the box in nine games – that is huge for a defender.

Brentford have scored in all but one game, so a clean sheet isn’t obvious for Palace here, but that would just be a bonus for Munoz.
