Midfield
Etienne Capoue started this season remarkably but in the last few games, he has been pretty average. However, four goals and one assist already this season still are great stats for a midfielder. The Frenchman will start in the middle of the park alongside Valon Behrami.
The Swiss international is a key player under Mazzarri whom he knows very well from their time together at Napoli. Behrami’s job will be to take control of the midfield area while Capoue will provide the tenacity and industry.
Roberto Pereyra will start just in front of the two as the most advanced midfielder. Juan Camilo Zuniga and Jose Holebas will start as the two wide players.
Attack
With Isaac Success missing through injury, Odion Ighalo will get his chance up front alongside skipper Troy Deeney who is enjoying a pretty good run of form this season.
Ighalo needs to pick up his game really soon as he has looked far from the brilliant player he was last season.
