Player(s) to watch:

• Heung-min Son has been the Captain that Ange Postecoglou might have wanted him to be. Spurs have not exactly been consistent, but Son has been producing the goods. In their last Premier League game, he scored and got a couple of assists.
• Mohamed Salah has been a driving force behind Liverpool’s title charge this season. Salah is undoubtedly one of the best players to have graced the Premier League. He is an explosive forward who can turn the game on its head whenever he wants. His consistency coupled with his playmaking, and finishing abilities are second to none.
