Player to watch: Christian Pulisic
Pochettino owes Captain America a debt of gratitude for his 69th-minute opener in the international friendly against New Zealand on the 11th of September. Pulisic is undoubtedly USMNT’s leader and we expect to see him among the starters in this important test for Pochettino.
Second player to watch: Jose Fajardo
Fajardo is the second player to watch in our key USA vs Panama prediction. He scored two goals for Panama during the World Cup Qualifiers and we are sure he will like to continue impressing his manager in order to cement his place among the starters for his country.
