Player to watch: Sorba Thomas
Sorba Thomas put in a man-of-the-match performance when these teams clashed last month, setting up the first two goals of the game. The Welsh midfielder has had only three direct goal involvements this season, so it will be interesting to see how he fares in this reverse fixture.
