An exciting top-of-the-table clash in the Allsvenskan awaits on Sunday as the current league leaders Mjallby play host to third-placed AIK. The gap between both teams is just five points having played the same number of games.
Mjallby in particular have been flying in recent matches, and have only lost once in the Swedish top flight all season so far. AIK's form has certainly been patchier, but they will still feel that they are capable of causing an upset here.

Player to watch: Elliot Stroud
Elliot Stroud is a key reason for why Mjallby are currently top of the table, after scoring a total of four goals in his last eight appearances in the Swedish top flight, including in each of his previous two games. The midfielder also found the back of the net in the last H2H in May, and so is a player that AIK know all about in terms of his quality.
