Players to Watch
Paul Onuachu (Southampton)
If fit, the Nigerian striker will be a key figure for the Saints. He has scored in back-to-back matches and will be eyeing a third consecutive goal to inspire Southampton’s survival hopes.
Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur)
With Son Heung-min and Arnaut Danjuma providing service from the flanks, Solanke will be aiming to net his 8th goal of the campaign. His movement and finishing make him a threat to any defence.
