Nigerians To Watch In Action In Europe This Weekend

By Daily sports on October 24, 2020

ALEX IWOBI

Richarlison’s sending off in Everton’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool last time out has opened the door for Iwobi to get a run of league games in the Brazilian’s absence.

Carlo Ancelotti has reinstated the playmaker into the side following a few non-appearances at the start of the campaign in the Premier League and EFL Cup, with the Nigerian rewarding the Italian manager’s faith.

The Toffees are away at Southampton on Sunday, looking to hold on to top spot in the league after gameweek six.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s troops gained a creditable draw at Chelsea last time out, so the Merseysiders have to be wary of the threat the Saints carry.

ODION IGHALO

Depending on Edinson Cavani’s condition before Manchester United host Chelsea, the Shanghai Shenhua loanee ought to feature in some capacity in this weekend’s big game in the English top flight.

With Anthony Martial still suspended, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to play Marcus Rashford centrally from the off but Ighalo and Cavani will be waiting in reserve if need be.

The Red Devils won last term’s corresponding fixture in Manchester 4-0 and they’ll welcome a repeat on Saturday tea-time.

VICTOR OSIMHEN

After impressing in his first two Napoli appearances without scoring, Osimhen got his just reward against Atalanta as Gli Azzurri romped to a 4-1 success over La Dea.

The forward’s rapid adaptation to Gennaro Gattuso’s methods has been great to see in the first few encounters of the season and that strike vs the side from Bergamo was no less than he deserved.

Napoli travels to newcomers Benevento looking to win their fourth game of the season against Filippo Inzaghi’s Jekyll and Hyde team.

Having opened his Serie A account when he faced off with one of the best teams in the land in Atalanta, Osimhen should relish the opportunity of facing one of the newly-promoted outfits that have conceded 12 times in four games.

SIMY

Juventus were expected to wipe the floor with Crotone last week despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo but the Pythagoreans fought valiantly to draw 1-1.

Simy kept his composure from the spot, sending Gianluigi Buffon the wrong way from 12 yards, to score his second of the season in the eventual stalemate.

The towering forward faces Cagliari in gameweek five, chasing his third league strike of the campaign as the new boys battle for their first points of the season. (Goal)
