Player to watch: Jaidon Anthony
Jaidon Anthony scored a stunning goal with his left foot against Manchester United last time out and the forward will be hoping that it is a sign of things to come for the second half of the season. Anthony is seen as someone who is perhaps not quite up to Premier League standards but he has five more months to prove those theories wrong.
