Burnley https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🟣" title="Violetter Kreis" aria-label="Emoji: Violetter Kreis">

Overall Summary of Findings https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📝" title="Memo" aria-label="Emoji: Memo">

Key points for Salah
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇬" title="Flagge von Ägypten" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ägypten"> Salah is stronger at home.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇬" title="Flagge von Ägypten" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ägypten"> Salah has performed as expected this season overall...

Key points for Kane
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" title="Flagge von England" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von England"> Spurs are in incredibly hot form
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" title="Flagge von England" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von England"> Kane has matched Salah for expected points this season.

I find it very hard to recommend one of the two assets here.

It feels as though...
Salah https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇬" title="Flagge von Ägypten" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ägypten"> = The consistent pick, will likely get a home return again.

Kane https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" title="Flagge von England" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von England"> = The more high risk high reward pick out of the two.

Feel free to make your mind up on these two. I’m going Kane https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿" title="Flagge von England" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von England">
