Players to watch out for:

Ao Tanaka (Leeds United)

The Japanese international displayed his phenomenal quality against Oxford United and Preston in the recent games. He possesses the ability to dominate and control the midfield against any opponent. He is also very clever with his last runs in the box.

Tanaka is very effective in front of the goal. He is viewed as a complete midfielder.

Lewis Baker (Stoke City)

The English midfielder is the top goalscorer for his club in the ongoing league campaign. Lewis has found the back of the net on seven occasions. His battle against Ao Tanaka for dominance in the midfield will be very interesting to watch.

He is also a threat from set pieces. His ball striking is one of the best in the entire league.
