Player to watch: Mousa Diaby
Since we can see the guests winning this match, our player to watch comes from Aston Villa and it is their latest summer signing and currently one of the key offensive weapons, Mousa Diaby.
The French forward had a very good start to the season with his new team, with two goals and two assist in his first five matches in Premier League, so Legia will have to keep a close eye on Diaby in this duel.
