Player to watch – Benjamin Sesko
In-demand centre-forward Benjamin Sesko has been in excellent form for RB Leipzig and has notched six times in his last nine appearances in the Bundesliga.
Sesko can be a threat again
Sesko is being tracked by a number of big Premier League clubs and the 21-year-old should have more chances to convert when he faces a leaky Heidenheim side on Sunday.
