Players to Watch

Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden)

The Arsenal striker will have a crucial part to play in the final third for the hosts. Viktor Gyokeres have not scored any goals in his last two matches for the Sweden national football team, but he is a capable player and will be looking to engrave his name on the scoresheet this time around.
