The English player Jordan Hugill (#10) is a great forward who is recognized as the team's highest scorer and as a great leader on the field. His ability to control the ball and create plays has been invaluable to his team and we could see him score on Saturday. Midfielder Cafú (#7) is another distributor of the game on the field that is extremely important, his great ball control makes him the team's greatest assister. Finally, 25-year-old goalkeeper Viktor Johansson (#1) is one of the best goalkeepers in the EFL Championship, his height allows him to save almost any ball and is very important so that his team does not concede a goal on Saturday .
