Player to watch: Kasper Dolberg
Kasper Dolberg should be back in action after a couple of weeks on the sidelines. The Danish player put in a man-of-the-match performance in the reverse fixture, scoring a brace and providing an assist in Anderlecht's 6-0 win against Gent. Dolberg will look to get back to scoring ways this weekend.
