TOP THREE NIGERIAN PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE EPL TONIGHT

The anticipation for the English premier league is at its peak. There are over seven fixtures to keep us entertained. A mind blowing soccer fiesta is about to kickoff. These are three eagles to look out for tonight.

WILFRED NDIDI: Leicester city’s big man in the middle has made the most tackles and has had the most interceptions in Europe’s top five leagues this season. He seems to have all the answers to all the moves made by the opposition. Thus, he is dubbed as “the lion in the middle of the court”. He would be able to deliver one of his scintillating displays this weekend as they take on Watford. He ticks all the boxes of a complete defensive midfielder.

ALEX IWOBI : Everton possess a powerhouse in the figure of Alex Iwobi. The 23 year old was on target for the Super Eagles in the last match against Lesotho. We have seen glimpses of his intricate passing in conjunction with his eye for goal. He is not a player to be underestimated, due to his ability to slow and increase the tempo of the game. Naturally, he relishes the role of spreading the ball to his teammates in all the parts of the pitch which has made him ahead of the pack. An assist against the league leaders Liverpool tonight is a likely outcome.

KELECHI IHEANACHO : Lately, the former U17 world cup golden ball winner hasn’t been getting enough game time, falling down the pecking order in the foxes team.

However he came off the bench to score a goal and provide an assist. He was the match winner for Leicester against Everton in the previous match. Kelechi can replicate such awesomeness tonight if he is given the change against a shabby Watford defensive line.
