Player to Watch: Jordan Henderson
Al Ittifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson has played a crucial role for Steven Gerrard's side this season.
Not only has Henderson used his experience to control many games from the center of the pitch, the England international has also provided more assists than any other Al Ittifaq player this season (4).
In what we are expecting to be a tight and tense ninety minutes between these two clubs, we're backing Henderson to put in another captain's performance.
