- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Axel Tuanzebe suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dani de Wit, as he is very good at scoring at Old Trafford with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
