Player to watch – Scott McTominay
Scottish international Scott McTominay has been a roaring success since leaving Manchester United to join Napoli and the marauding midfielder’s powerful runs could hurt Udinese on Sunday.
McTominay is a goal threat
McTominay has scored five goals in Serie A this season and has also chipped in with two assists and his ability to strike a ball with precision could make him a menace against Udinese again this weekend.
