Player to watch – David Luiz
Former Chelsea defender David Luiz is still a mainstay in the Flamengo backline at the ripe old age of 37 and the veteran could be a key performer again on Wednesday.
Luiz is never far from the action
Luiz has scored three times in Serie A this season, though the centre-back has also accumulated five yellow cards and he could be a strong candidate in two different markets again this week.
