Giovanni Simeone has hit a rich vein of form at the perfect time of the season for Torino, finding the back of the net in four of his last seven starts in the league. He scored against Hellas Verona in a 2-1 win last time out, and Torino have now created some daylight between them and the relegation zone, so they can relax a bit. The Argentine international needs just one more goal to reach double figures for the season, which would be an impressive return for his debut campaign at Torino. 

Simeone has an excellent matchup to get the job done here, as Cremonese are 17th in the Serie A standings, only above the relegation zone on goal difference. They have won just once in their last 17 league matches, and their home form has been equally as poor. Cremonese have only won two of their 15 league matches at the Giovanni Zini Stadium this campaign.

Ndiaye is a proper winger. I’ve been a bit disappointed with the quality of wide players in the Premier League this season, but Ndiaye is always a joy to watch and I think he can have an impact here.

Ndiaye is comfortably Everton’s biggest threat in the final third, even when Grealish is fit I think Ndiaye provides Everton with that extra penetration, which they can miss at times from their other forwards. Only Dewsbury-Hall (10) has registered more goal contributions for Everton this season than Ndiaye (9). Dewsbury-Hall is overachieving his combined xG + xA by 2.20, so I’d still say that Ndiaye’s is Everton’s main threat here.

Ndiaye comes into this game in good form too having registered a goal contribution in two of his last five Premier League starts. He was replaced after 25 minutes due to injury when the sides met last season - so he may also have a bit of a point to prove here.

Morgan Gibbs-White scored the only goal of the game against Porto last time out, as Nottingham Forest prevailed in a tightly-contested tie. The Forest skipper has contributed to 17 goals, more than any other player in the squad this season, highlighting the responsibility he takes on in the final third. He usually steps up when required, and this is a big game for his side. 

Forest find themselves on a strong run of form coming into this clash, unbeaten in their last four matches, but they are not quite home and hosed yet. They are just three points above the relegation zone, so will need to be front-footed in their approach against Burnley this weekend, because three points would be massive in their survival hopes. Gibbs-White found the back of the net in a 3-0 win against Tottenham just before the international break, and he should have plenty of involvement in the final third again here.

Bayern Munich put five goals past St Pauli in their last league match, meaning they have now scored 105 goals in the Bundesliga, which is the most of any side in a single season in the German top-flight. Michael Olise has more than played his part in that record, as he has recorded 30 goal involvements in 27 league appearances this season. The Frenchman has provided 18 assists, which is the most out of any player in the division, and he looks set to record the most assists in the Bundesliga for the second season in a row. 

Bayern could be mathematically crowned champions this weekend if they manage to secure three points and if Dortmund lose. The Bavarians beat Stuttgart 5-0 in the reverse fixture on their travels - Olise provided two assists in that match, and this promises to be a daunting matchup for Stuttgart.
