mohamed salah has enjoyed a monopoly on captaincy over the last four game weeks but there's a bigger decision to make this time around the egyptian has slowed down slightly by his incredibly high standards over the past two game weeks where he's failed to register a goal or big chance still notching two assists liverpool have slipped down to fourth place in that time dropping points to brighton and west ham and now face an improved arsenal side with three wins on the bounce despite all that it will still take some courage to back against salah at anfield but i'm actually leaning towards harry kane this week with the intention to captain him in each of his next three home matches we've seen him start to look more like his old self for england over the break though admittedly against weak opposition saller would comfortably beat him if we were to compare their recent underlying numbers but we don't really have much data to go up for spurs under kante yet so for me it comes down to the fact that he's an elite striker under a new manager against a defense that has a tendency to leak goals against top table sites away from home against the traditional big six teams last season lee's conceded NUMBER_TOKEN goals in six matches with only southampton faring worse they considered a league high NUMBER_TOKEN xg per game meanwhile and allowed the most shots in total and from inside the box they've only faced two of those sides so far this season man united away and liverpool at home and they shipped a combined total of eight goals against them
