With 10 games to go, things at the top and the bottom of the Premier League are starting to heat up.

A full round of Premier League fixtures on Saturday and Sunday means yet another round of Fantasy Football but, not to worry, we've got you covered on whom to splash the cash and who to axe from your team. We're making some bold calls but then, it has been that kind of a season.

Three players to sign

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - MARCH 02: James Milner of Liverpool celebrates scoring his sides second goal during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield on March 2, 2016 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)

Milner has been bang in form for Liverpool in recent games, notching a total of 26 points in his last three outings for the Reds (excluding the League Cup final). You'd be a fool not to put him in your team. Especially when you consider they are up against Palace, who are following the Alan Pardew patented template of falling to pieces in the second half of the season. BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND - MARCH 01: Benik Afobe of Bournemouth celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Barclays Premier League match between A.F.C. Bournemouth and Southampton at Vitality Stadium on March 1, 2016 in Bournemouth, England. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)

Bournemouth's £10million man is finding his range in the Premier League, just as Bournemouth look to be finding the kind of form that could keep them in the top flight. Newcastle United are slip-sliding away and just don't seem to be the kind of team that will fancy an afternoon in the company of this physical six-yard box merchant. COBHAM, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 15: Thibaut Courtois of Chelsea looks on during a Chelsea training session ahead of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 match against Paris Saint-Germain at Chelsea Training Ground on February 15, 2016 in Cobham, England.

Goalkeeper for the in-form team of 2016. The big Belgian is just one of many, many Chelsea players who looks reborn, freed from the tyranny of Jose Mourinho. Stoke have been scoring a few goals of late but we fancy Chelsea to start producing a few more Chelsea-like performances with a few more clean sheets.

Three Players to Sell

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - MARCH 02: David De Gea of Manchester United celebrates the opening goal scored by Juan Mata (not pictured) during the Barclays Premier League match between Manchester United and Watford at Old Trafford on March 2, 2016 in Manchester, England.

Manchester United have been riding their luck for too long. After WBA they have Manchester City, Everton and Spurs - while Van Gaal is one injury away from having to come out of retirement himself Fortune fancies the brave. Swapping Courtois for De Gea will save you £400,000 and is unlikely to cost you too many points. Stop following the herd, even if the herd are just following a ridiculously good keeper. Change it up!

LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 02: Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur during the Barclays Premier League match between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur at Boleyn Ground on March 2, 2016 in London, England. (Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images)

Mauricio Pochettino's players have been known to run out of steam at the end of the season. Kane has been leading the Spurs line like a hero without any back-up and it is starting to show. He looked leggy against West Ham on Wednesday and doesn't have much time to recover ahead of another fiercely contested derby. If you're currently lagging behind in your own league, entrusting your goal scoring to the guy picked by more than a third of players ain't gonna make the difference.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 26: The injured Vincent Kompany of Manchester City walks off the pitch after only just coming on as a second half substitute during the Barclays Premier League match between Manchester City and Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium on December 26, 2015 in Manchester, England.

Manchester City's season is over, domestically at least. They have a Capital One Cup back in the trophy cabinet and the prospect of a proper Champions League run. Wednesday's performance against Liverpool was embarrassing and, classy as Kompany is, we fear for a defender who has to rely upon either Nicolas Otamendi or Martin Demichelis.
