Players to Watch

Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal)

Martin Zubimendi delivered a good performance, as the Spaniard controlled the midfield well previous game for Arsenal. Even though he failed to be very impactful in the attacking front, Zubimendi was a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. In the upcoming game, he will yet again play an important role.

Lukas Nmecha (Leeds United)
