Player to watch: Daizen Maeda
Daizen Maeda put in a man-of-the-match performance last weekend, scoring a hat-trick and providing an assist in Celtic's 6-0 victory over Aberdeen. The Japanese forward has also scored in two out of three UEFA Champions League matches this season. It will be interesting to see how he fares against Leipzig.
