5' Pierre Emile Hojbjerg has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

28' Geronimo Rulli has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 361 appearances.
33' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
