Player to watch: Lawrence Shankland
After a disappointing 2024/25, many people thought that Lawrence Shankland's best years were behind him; however, the forward has started this season in excellent form. The 30-year-old has scored three goals in four competitive outings so far, and will be keen to get his first league goal of the campaign on Sunday.
