Player to watch – Florian Thauvin
Veteran French forward Florian Thauvin has been one of Udinese’s best players this season and the 32-year-old has chipped in with eight goal involvements (5G, 3A) in Serie A since August.
Thauvin’s quality could be key
Thauvin showcased his class when he played four key passes in Udinese’s 1-1 draw at Napoli last weekend and the versatile Frenchman’s incisive passing could be a feature of Sunday’s game again.
