The Glasgow Rangers midfielder is in great form with Gerrard's team and he is one player who fans will want to analyze his performance during and after the encounter.
3. Alex Iwobi
Iwobi has been an improved player since his switch to the Goodison Park. The 23-year-old seemed to have added goals to his game having scored two goals in three games in all competitions.
Super Eagles fans can't wait to see him continue his newfound goalscoring form with the national team, and how he will partner with Aribo at the middle of pitch.
4. Ahmed Musa
Ahmed Musa will play his first game as the team's official captain since the retirement of Mikel Obi. Many fans will love to see if he possesses all it takes to captain the team on the field of play.
