Pre- match analysis:
The most important clash will definitely be between two of the best English strikers in recent times- former team mates; both for club and country, Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy. Kane and Vardy have 9 and 10 PL goals already this season, and their goals can prove to be decisive. Another interesting match up will be between the high flying Korean Son- Heueng Min and English fullback James Justin. James Justin has impressed this season, but will he be good enough to keep Son quiet? Only time will tell.
