Players to Watch

Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)

He exudes confidence, he likes to run at defenders and he is not afraid to take anyone on. Garnacho does things that stand out. He is a ball-carrying machine and with his pace and dribbling ability, he could cause quite a lot of problems for Twente defenders. The young winger has been in exceptional form in the new season and he will be eager to get his name on the scoresheet in this fixture.

Daan Rots (FC Twente)

He has good close control and dribbles at pace, often looking to cut inside with an aim pass or dribble into the final third. Rots prefers to play on the right flank and he is very dependent on his left foot. The 23-year-old winger has the abilities of a wide playmaker. He has the vision and is able to create clear-cut chances for his teammates. He slows down the game when in possession to draw opponents in, then looks to pass & run up the line.
