Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Daley Blind and Marcus Rashford are this week's selected Elite Players, but which one warrants a place in your side?

Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Daley Blind and Marcus Rashford are this week's selected Elite Players, but which one warrants a place in your side?

Tottenham v Manchester United is this weekend's selected fixture, live on Sky Sports 1HD at 4pm, with Spurs looking to maintain their title pursuit and put a dent in United's top-four hopes.

Harry Kane

Last match - 71 points

Season average - 54.03 points

Tottenham's 22-goal frontman is in top form right now, scoring five goals in his last three appearances, seeing him rack up point hauls of 99 (v Aston Villa), 111 (v Bournemouth) and 71 (v Liverpool) points in his those games. His relentless intent also means he is sure to rack up points for shots on target, while he's also happy to drift into the channels and create chances. However, the Premier League's leading scorer is unsurprisingly proving the most popular pick from, meaning looking elsewhere will give you the edge on most players if he fails to fire.

Dele Alli

Last match - 31

Season average - 44.45

England's young star has certainly attracted his plaudits and justifiably so, with seven goals and 10 assists this season. However, he struggled to make in impression against Liverpool last weekend, picking up just 31 points before he was substituted, while he's failed to score in 14 appearances in all competitions for club and country. His advanced role also means that his pass-completion rate is relatively low for a midfielder, so he looks the wild-card pick of the bunch this weekend.

Daley Blind

Last match - 71 points

Season average - 55.57 points

If Alli is the wild-card then Blind is the safe bet, as Manchester United's Mr Consistent regardless of where he has been asked to play. He has now settled in as centre-back alongside Christ Smalling, helping United keep a league high of 15 clean sheets, with his ability on the ball seeing him complete nearly twice as many passes as Alli this season. A solitary goal and an average of 0.59 chances create per game are his main detractors, but he still looks a good bet for those expecting Louis van Gaal's men to register a third successive clean sheet against Spurs.

Marcus Rashford

Last match - 26 points

Season average - 40.1 points

Another 19-year-old makes the Elite Player list, testament to the faith these two clubs have put in their youngsters. Rashford emerged with the most stunning of debuts, scoring twice and claiming an assist to rack up 90 points in United's 3-2 victory over Arsenal in February. While he's struggled to hit the same heights since, he was also one target in the Manchester derby last month. The young striker certainly seems unfazed by the big occasions and the visiting fans will be hoping he'll relish the opportunity to boost his side's top-four hosts with another inspired performance.
