Players to Watch

Nick Woltemade (Newcastle)

Nick Woltemade is proving to be a very important signing for the Magpies this season. In four Premier League appearances, the 23-year-old has scored three goals for his side this season. He is yet again playing a crucial part in the attacking front for the visitors.
