Player to watch – Cody Gakpo

Cody Gakpo scored his 14th international goal in the Netherlands’ 4-0 win over Hungary at the weekend, tucking the ball away from the spot in typically composed fashion.

In-form Gakpo can threaten

Gakpo is in a rich vein of form at present and the 25-year-old Liverpool star has scored five times in his last five outings for club and country. The winger should have more chances to add to his tally for the campaign on Tuesday.
