Granit Xhaka
Captain fantastic has been the signing of the summer in the Premier League. The fan favourite has been linked with a move in January; however, it is highly unlikely that the club will entertain any bids for their key player. Two bookings away from a one-game suspension.
Noah Sadiki
An all-action midfielder who covers every blade of grass during a game. Like Granit Xhaka, Sadiki is two bookings away from suspension. With the Wear-Tyne derby fast approaching, both will need to tread carefully.
Enzo Le Fee
Attacking midfielder who has operated mainly on the left wing so far this season. Capable of defence-splitting passes and dangerous at set pieces.
Chemsdine Talbi
Has been unlucky not to have started more games recently, but could get his chance this weekend. Scored a well-taken last-minute winner at Stamford Bridge.
