Players preview for the weekend

Lyrics

"Lots of exciting football action will go down across all of Europe and the rest of the world this weekend and some players will be looking to make the headlines too.

One of such players is a natural headline maker himself, Cristiano Ronaldo. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact he can have in the Manchester Derby going down this Sunday. As always, his teammates will be looking to draw inspiration from him.

Ronaldo has faced the Cityzens 15 times altogether, winning 9 and losing 4 of those matches. He has returned 5 goals against them in these games. The Portuguese will feel that he has a point to prove having been shown a red card in his last game at the Ethiad in 2009 while also losing against them earlier in the season 2-0. He would also want to silence critics of his recent poor showings in front of goals.

Another player to watch will be Liverpool forward Mohammed Salah. The Egyptian will be looking forward to the game against West Ham on Saturday evening as it is an important fixture in the race for the title and even the top four.


Mo Salah has an imperious record against the Hammers. In nine games against David Moyes' side, he has 9 goals. He has also won 7 of those matches and drawn 2."
