Player to watch – Alvaro Morata
With Griezmann likely to be missing again, the onus will be on Alvaro Morata to spearhead the attack. The Spain international has scored 19 in all competitions this term.
Morata striking early in the Second Half
The goals have slightly dried up of late for Morata with a recent injury preventing him from passing the 20 goal mark for the season. He has tended to score plenty of goals earlier in the Second Half with 32% of his strikes in all competitions coming between the 46th and 60th minutes.
