5) Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) – 12

The Hammers forward has been deployed as a no.9 over the past month or so with Michail Antonio sidelined with a knee injury.

Being played out of position probably doesn’t help Bowen when he makes his runs in behind.

He is used to angling his forward runs off the right flank and losing his marker, but he has found himself having to beat two centre-backs instead when starting through the middle.

Bowen’s pace means he should probably be more patient and hold his run, as he should have the beating of most defenders in a foot race.
