Player to watch – Gabriel Jesus
Given the other absentees, it has certainly been a timely return to form for Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian has scored six goals in his last four games in all competitions.
Jesus striking early
All three of the Premier League goals scored by Jesus this season have come before the interval. His 29th minute strike at Brentford earlier in the week was the latest of any of his league goals this term.
