Hakim Ziyech (No. 22) Right winger, Morocco

Hakim Ziyech is the man of the moment. Before the international break, he was on fire as he created chances at will and toyed with defenders. It is safe to say that Ziyech’s left foot is one of the most deadly weapons known to mankind. Moreover, it is obvious that Lampard and the support staff have ensured that Ziyech is used properly in training.

Whenever he gets the ball onto his left foot near the edge of the box, Timo Werner and Chilwell rush toward the far post to look for a goal. In the international break, Ziyech ripped everyone apart, he was just unstoppable. The Moroccan Magician is ready to destroy Newcastle, and expect the Magpies to go extinct on Saturday.

Tammy Abraham (No. 9) Striker, England

Tammy Abraham has found his way back into the team, despite the numerous attacking signings. He has managed to make room for himself through stellar performances early on. This season, the Englishman’s game has improved immensely and he seems like the main striker up top as Christian Pulisic remains injured and Callum Hudson-Odoi doesn’t seem to be in contention.

Timo Werner (No. 11) Left winger, Germany

Werner has started this season in terrific form. He has shown that he is more than just a forward. The German is often seen dropping deep to help out in defence and then sprinting forward with the ball. His work rate has been exceptional and his movement around the box has been lethal. Werner has won a number of penalties, and it is great to seem him become the penalty taker, as well. Werner will be at his usual best against Newcastle, and a goal seems to be coming.
