Goalkeeper David Raya has been in fine form for Arsenal so far this season.

The second international break of the season is now behind us and fantasy football lovers now have a few days left to tweak their teams ahead of Gameweek Eight.

Here are five players you should be looking to get into your squad for a busy weekend of Premier League action.

David Raya, Arsenal (Goalkeeper)

Only Manchester United's Andre Onana has scored more points in FPL than David Raya this season as a goalkeeper and the Spaniard will have been disappointed not to keep clean sheets against Leicester City and Southampton recently.

The break will hopefully have allowed Arsenal to regroup defensively, but Mikel Arteta's side are still unbeaten this season.

The Gunners have kept three clean sheets this season, and they face a Bournemouth side on Saturday that have failed to score in three of their previous four in the top-flight.

Arsenal won both meetings last season without conceding, and a repeat of that will be great for those who back Raya.

Rico Lewis, Manchester City (Defender)

England international Rico Lewis picked up an assist in Gameweek 7 during the 3-2 win over Fulham to add another four points to his tally for the season.

Lewis offers incredible value for money, considering he plays for the defending champions, is classed as a defender, yet will play in midfield for Pep Guardiola.

That should mean he gets plenty of touches in the Wolves box during Sunday's game at Molineux.

Wolves have scored in six consecutive matches in the Premier League, but they have the worst goal difference in the division and Lewis should be able to rack up the points once again.

Brennan Johnson, Tottenham (Midfielder)

Spurs ace Brennan Johnson is in the form of his life at the minute and he has scored in three consecutive matches in the Premier League.

Johnson has 36 points to his name this season, and 25 of those have come in the previous three weeks.

The former Nottingham Forest man faces West Ham's fragile defence in Gameweek Eight and, with the Hammers conceding in six of their seven league games this season, it makes sense to back Johnson to maintain his recent form.

Dominic Solanke, Tottenham (Forward)

Staying with Spurs and the clash against the Hammers, it is time to get behind striker Dominic Solanke. The former Bournemouth man has only scored twice this season, but like Johnson, his form in the last three weeks stands out.

Solanke has scored 17 points in three weeks for those who backed him and he has played 90 minutes in four of his five appearances this season.

The England international played twice against West Ham for Bournemouth last season, scoring in both ties in the top-flight.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City (Forward)

A boring pick, but an essential one for Gameweek Eight.

No player in the Premier League has scored more points or goals this season than Erling Haaland, and he faces Wolves' leaky defence.

Haaland scored four goals against Wolves during the last meeting between the pair and Gary O'Neil's team have regressed since then, so things could get ugly for the Midlands outfit.
